The spirit of the offside review shouldn't be for a fraction of an inch where the players skate comes off the ice; it's for the rare time the refs miss a blatant offside call. So dumb.
Well, there has to be clear line between off-side and on-side, so I don't mind the rule per se. But in this case I think it was too close to overrule.

The offside rule is absolutely moronic. What advantage did Namestnikov gain by not having his skate down when he crossed the line as the Senators carried the puck into a 2 on 3?

I think the offside review is good but the rule does need some adjustments to make it better. The recent idea that as long as the players skate is above the line it makes it onside is a good start.

The problem the refs just cannot pick and choose what to call offsides.

Yes i agree with what your saying, but according to the rule book, it is offsides.

To get rid of these missed blatant offsides, you just have to put up with these stupid fraction of an inch offside calls.

I personally would like to get rid of the challenge considering i am willing to bet that most plays are offsides, but aren't noticed cause no goals are scored on the play.

Weird game in that in some ways it was really bad yet we outshot them and had some chances. Oh well, if i get a free sub for having my fan card stamped i might use it to sub out Brannstrom too.
