Jets fans whining about how this is a silly challenge and a "momentum killer". We're probably the last team for someone to use that argument against, OV had to score his 500th goal twice because of challenges like this, what goes around comes around.

Not his 500th. The Russan record. He doesn't have 500 yet.

This is the argument against this crap. Does that really affect the play? Were the Caps playing that man differently if he's a centimeter offside? No. Being offside there had zero impact on the outcome. even if it goes our way it's bogus.

This needs to be fixed and I think it will be....in the offseason.

The refs can't even spit out. They know it's a no-win situation.

I mean on the one hand you're right... but on the other hand it's a rule for a reason. I mean is it nit picking? Yeah, but a line in the sand has to be drawn and calls have to be made against it. I would prefer this against the alternative which is subjective calls that potentially ruin games.

My disdain for NHL officiating endures, and a new hatred for the Thrashers and their fans is born. :rant:

Paul Maurice thought they were gonna call that back and was cursing the ref. Then the ref stutters and it's a goal. That was very weird.
