Bruin fan since 1975
unfortunately I only remember how much it angers me when its against my bruins. I don't want to be a homer and only post when my bruins are being screwed.
the thing is... I am smart enough to realize in an 82 game schedule it would balance out. the other team will get nailed for just as many crappy offside calls as my bruins. so this isn't about my caring that the bruins get a goal called back. I don't feel anyone is out to get us. in fact, I usually agree on the reviews that the play was offside.
what my entire complaint is... who cares??? how does a guy being 2 inches offside actually give a team any sort of UNFAIR advantage? how does it pollute the intent of the game?
the offside rule was put into place to prevent 'cheating'
its there to stop players from being obviously in the attacking zone when the puck is not there.
I don't mind if the linesman totally brain cramps and makes a grievous mistake that costs a goal... that should be reviewable. but if it requires more than 1 single video review to determin if its offside THEN IT DOESNT MATTER.
and if the play was going on for like more than a minute and the defense even had a chance to touch the puck and couldn't get it out... then IT DOESNT MATTER
the league keeps saying they are desperate to add more scoring to the game for the fans... but how the hell does calling back goals because they were 2 inches offside add more excitement for the fans???
we cant even cheer when our team scores now because we are always worried the goal is being called back. and even if its the other team getting called back how is that worthy of being cheered? our team still allowed a goal. winning by a technicality sucks. getting a goal called back for such a pointless stupid reason is not a good reason to cheer.
the league needs to bring in new off-side challenge rules and if the offside didn't measurably create an unfair advantage for the scoring team than it needs to be eliminated. we want to see more high speed rushes that result in offense. that's what sells the tickets
