Series Thread: Western Conference Final - Colorado Avalanche vs. Edmonton Oilers

Aw shucks Ronnie is going to be even more insufferable in this intermission

Nipples will be hard

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

Just keep in mind that is the kind of call your favourite team will never, ever, EVER get.

It looked to me that the puck was still touching makars blade right when it crossed the line but idk

I thought the play was offsides.

But, in slo mo, I'm guessing he kept the puck on his stick and pushed it ahead right at the blue line and it's not offsides unless his stick remains in contact with the puck?

This was a new one for me.

There is no fucking way that's onside

They said that it was a "dump in" and the Nichu "touched up" before Makar touched it again.

They can say whatever they want. No amount of BS is going to make that a good call. He was touching it as it was crossing the line. A dump in is from the other side of the line.

It looks like the puck is touching /in contact with makars blade over the blue line when nichushkin is offside

It makes zero sense. I've been watching hockey since the 70's and I've never seen anything like that. The puck left the oilers zone. Then it was touched by an Av player and brought back. Av player never came close to leaving the oilers zone before the puck came back in, and that is somehow not offside? I'm thoroughly stumped here.

If makar pushes it over the line and doesnt touch the puck until nichushkin clears the zone its onside but i still say makars blade was touching the puck

Touched up? He never left the zone. Not even close. If that's actually some obscure rule that makes that play legit I have to admit I've never seen anything like it before.

I don't think Nicu ever cleared the zone. Or am I wrong about that? I thought he stopped about a foot from the blue line and joined the play.

How the fuck does the panel give that little time to that discussion

You lose your 2011 memory?

 

[dkmightyhammer]

Hopefully the NHL gives a clear explanation when the 2nd period starts cuz I'm still stumped.

 

[mattola]

I'm actually quite disturbed at that call. That seems legit corrupt

 

[dash]

From what I'm reading, the explanation is they think it's just a tag-up where Makar shoots the puck in and doesn't enter the zone/touch the puck until #13 clears the zone. The question I have is was it a distinct shoot-in?

Koharsky said it was offsides, and not a word from him after call?
