The NHL Needs to Remove Video Review

[McFlyingV]

It is actually mind blowing that none of you can see why this is correctly called onside. Yes, the Carolina player brings it back into the zone, but he never actually touches the puck inside the zone when he brings it back in. You're allowed to bring a puck back in on a delayed offside if you do not touch the puck inside the zone which as you can clearly see he does not. Before his right skate re-enters the zone, and before he touches the puck again inside the zone, the guy who is offside touches up and both players can be seen with their skate touching or on the outside of the blue line which now becomes an onside play.

I think it was right call, agree with Burke. It was tagged up before it was played.

And I only logged on after months to post how big of a missed call it was, so I've had a complete 180. Don't know why Sportsnet was saying the official reasoning was the Flames played it, but I assume that's not correct or just happened to be two wrongs making a right.

Exactly. Gauthier dumps it in. McGinn tags up. McGinn was offside when Gauthier dumped it in, but tagged up before Gauthier played the puck in the ozone.

The view from the blue line cam looked like both Cane players tagged up, to me.

edit: at first I thought I might be wrong since no one else was seeing the tag up, but it's 100% clear now that the Cane's players tagged up and it was onside. Flames fans need to stop embarrassing themselves and open their eyes. A clear moment when fans (in general) call the reffing pure trash, when in fact they are the ones who are completely clueless.

 

[El Travo]

pretty brutal

This has happened before where the puck was brought in offside but the offensive team tagged up before the puck carrier touched the puck. Good call.

 

[DistantThunderRep]

That was pretty freaking bad. Properly inline with NHL reffing.

 

[Korpse]

Bizzare how many people don’t understand delayed offside. Been a rule for 15 years now. Puck enters the zone but McGinn clears before Gauthier enters the zone.

 

[Del Preston]

It was onside and Burke just explained why. So did I in the GDT but some people don't like hearing it.

Hilarious how no one could see this including the homer broadcast crew. Cassie Campbell sounded like a blabbering moron going on and on about it when she was so obviously wrong the entire time.

The biggest things the offside challenge has shown us is how often players are actually offside and how little fans know about the rule.

When does Cassie Campbell not sound like a blabbering moron?

 

[super6646]

Meh, looked at another pic and its onside.

She is a great hockey player, but a brutal commentator.

 

[zar]

Only Oiler fans calling that onside, lol.

That was clear as day.

They also think that breathing on McDavid should be a penalty

I accept your apologies.

After watching the full replay, this appears to be the case. But what I didn’t see in the replays is if Gauthier lifts his skate off the ice before McGinn tags up, then that would technically be offside.

The refs didn’t even bother to look into that though. Their explanation was that a Flames player brought the puck back in which in itself is dead wrong and thus, they should still be subject to criticism.

100% onside, love how sure people at the start of this thread were that it was offside when clearly wrong.

 

[McFlyingV]

If you were watching the sportsnet broadcast they showed an obvious slow motion frame of the play being onside during the coaches challenge. I'd advise muting your television so you're not influenced by two terrible broadcasters.

 

[zar]

You're wrong and need to buy a pair of glasses like the refs.

I accept your apology as well. Thanks.

It absolutely looked offside on the initial replay, but I watched it again in slow-mo and yeah its not offside.

There was pretty clear replay imo of the skate being down on the ice during the replay of the coaches challenge. In any case, hopefully they remove the skate on the ice rule this summer because it is such a terrible rule to begin with. If the skate's over the line it should be considered onside even if it's not on the ice, imo.

I applaud you.

It's still the wrong call regardless of how the league tries to defend it. My mind will not be changed.

Maybe the initial replay, but they showed a slo-motion replay while the coaches challenge was happening that showed it was clearly offside. I'm not sure if the Flames broadcast crew wasn't watching or if they just chose to ignore it, but the evidence was clearly there and @Del Preston clearly pointed it out at the time what many should have seen.
