I use Offside, but it is important to know in the USA hockey rule book uses and calls it Offsides.
TBH what do Americans know about hockey anyway?

The dumbest thing I ever heard was a dude I played beer league with referred to practice as “praccy.” I don’t even know if that’s how you spell it. It hurts just thinking about it. I feel like where I played when I was younger you’d get your asked kicked for saying something like that.
A group I played with referred to a sandwich as a sand-o. They were alright guys, but bro- you aren’t even saving any syllables.
GOAT should go away because it's so sorely abused.
I figured Kotka would have made more sense. not long ago someone said KK and I had no idea who it was lol.
recently there was a Kotkaniemi - Kakko thread which was really misleading because KK was Kakko's initials lol
Pretty common discussion term in all sports though, hockey is lucky because it's indisputably Gretzky
People also like to discuss how historically great Ovi is at scoring goals
"Defence core"
It's defense corps
Obviously, for sureidk about fans, but I think NHL players need to remove "you know" from their vocabulary.
Yeah this one is horrible. Makes one sound like such an illiterate moron.The amount of times people around here use the word "dominate", whether it's about a specific player or team, is pretty funny sometimes.
No, more like physical traits + skills"Tools" and "toolbox". You mean abilities?
Is this rulebook referring to one offside, or to multiple situations?
'Offsides' is the correct plural, but is most often used in the singular, which is wrong.
If one linesman calls every offside in the game, then he called all the offsides, and his partner called none.
Damn. Well done. I agree with this all.Drives me nuts how often certain words get thrown around, so let's start a list of words not to use anymore
#1 Offsides: it's offside singular
#2 Generational: these players come around once in a while, not every year
#3 Franchise Player: this isn't EA
#4 Celly: this one just bothers me, no other reason
Sucks, blows, AF, WTF, freaking, frickin', What the F, etc.
Maybe I'm just too old st 61, but all of these words are gross and sound low class....even uneducated, at least to me. "Suck" was not a word yet uttered when I grew up or in college, except regarding sucking through a straw.
I realize some or even most here and elsewhere who use these words are educated and have compelling posts and usually write well, so it's even more annoying that they resort to these words.
The two Boston sports radio stations are a non-stop party of these words, from the hosts and callers. Even regular radio talk shows have hosts and callers, males and sometimes females, employing such "words."
And yes, I do realize I'm in a small minority feeling this way.
Would Doc Emrick ever downgrade himself on tv with such garbage? No, and that's one reason he has class.
I always assumed it was short for Kotka and not his first & last initialsoh I got one.
KK from Montreal fans.
Not even his initials. lol
A bunch of dorks in this thread
The U.S. gets no say in hockey terminology. There aren't many things we Canadians have control of, but this is one of them.
