Offside review is still stupid. Wouldn’t have helped us on the ENG but the Nuge goal getting wiped out for a close offside 45 seconds earlier is bush league. I hate that rule.

There should be a time limit as to how long after an "offside" before it's considered a non factor. I assume the true intent of the rule is puck comes over the line offside and a few seconds later it's in. Not puck comes in, goes into the corner, guys battling for it, potentially gets touched by both sides a few times then eventually is in.
It seems like a lot of the rules have good intent but when someone writes them up, they stop short of completing them.
I like that Buffalo team. They could be real scary really, really soon.

Imagine the reviews on TV when they're running a stop watch but saying "the control room has access to far more angles AND accurate timing devices". I can't wait. We have to get it right, right?
Either we accept the fallibility of referees or we an inherently annoying review process. We've made our choice. Fortunately, as Oilers fans, we're conditioned to be annoyed while watching hockey.

I don't have a ton of problem with wanting to get it right. I am not big of wanting to get the offside that is barely an inch but sometimes the guy is quite a bit and it gets missed so I would like those picked up. But at the same time if they went back to the old ways and just didn't review them at all, I wouldn't lose sleep at night.
A lot of the calls wouldn't even have to have a review and they wouldn't involve a stop watch. You know exactly when the goal is scored. So back it up to when the puck crosses the line. If you set a limit and you are past that time when the puck crossed the line, case closed. If the other team has had enough time to make a play on the puck or man, then the offside doesn't matter anymore. There should not be an indefinite amount of time like there is where a team can back it up like they can now.
