Ya I don't get it.

The back peddling happened so fast it just seems like a cover up to an obvious bad call in an attempt to salvage some credibility.

NHL = crooked. time to admit it and deal with it

good chat

honestly you guys really bad at understanding rules.

So you agree it was kicked in?

Rule 83 – Off-side
83.1 Off-side - Players of the attacking team must not precede the puck
into the attacking zone.
The position of the player’s skates and not that of his stick shall be the determining factor in all instances in deciding an off-side. A player is off-side when both skates are completely over the leading edge of the blue line involved in the play.
A player is on-side when either of his skates are in contact with, or on his own side of the line, at the instant the puck completely crosses the leading edge of the blue line regardless of the position of his stick. However, a player actually controlling the puck who shall cross the line ahead of the puck shall not be considered “off-side,” provided he had possession and control of the puck prior to his skates crossing the blue line.
It should be noted that while the position of the player’s skates is what determines whether a player is “off-side,” nevertheless the question of an “off-side” never arises until the puck has completely crossed the leading edge of the blue line at which time the decision is to be made.
If a player legally carries or passes the puck back into his own defending zone while a player of the opposing team is in such defending zone, the off-side shall be ignored and play permitted to continue.

Where are they referencing? Am I blind? Clearly a different rule?

Maybe I don't understand the rules fully. I can accept that.

What I don't get is I have watched countless hockey games and seen plays just like that always ruled no goal.

Was the rule interpreted/followed the wrong way so often we got a false sense of what the right call was?

Trying to figure this out because so much seems wrong with this call,

This will be the new nhl. Fumble the puck across the blue line every possession. Never get called for offside

makar didnt have possession/control when the puck entered the o-zone. he had tapped it in the zone and gained control once nich crossed back into the neutral zone

you're telling me his stick to puck gap is bigger than the gap of Nichuskin's skates going back on side?



damn makar truly 500IQ
