“inconclusive”


It’s 2024 we can’t put a camera on both sides of the blue line?

  1. oh well, in real time the linesmen couldn’t tell and it took multiple reply angles to prove it, so it’s not like it was egregious

  2. To be fair, in this picture the puck is also across the line lol.

    I’m more upset that that shit goes in than this call

  3. This is probably the most 50/50 offside call I’ve ever seen. Lose-lose for the refs. You can’t really see where the puck is on the critical frame and the one before it’s offside and the next it’s onside. So you can assume where it is in between but has to be conclusive. Jets fans would be raging with just as much justification if they overturned it imo

    oh well. great kill afterwards. onward and upward.

  4. I’m shocked at the lack of technology to get a frame as he’s passed the line. You can clearly see he’s off if he’s more than the entire stick we can see, past the blue line

    It’s like watch a fucking gas station CCTV.

  5. There’s no reason for human beings to call offsides at all. Easily solved precisely every single time with tech.

  6. I do think it was offside but the main issue is that in the last frame where he’s on-side he’s got a tiny bit of his skate keeping him on-side while the puck is completely outside the line and then the next frame the puck is just barely in while his skate is a foot past the line. So you can tell he definitely got in just barely offsides but there’s no single frame where the puck is out and he’s in to prove it. Either way, this is the kind of ticky-tack offsides BS that I hate the challenge rule gets used for, so whatever.

  7. How the fuck in 2024 do they not have a way to see the blueline from all angles.

  8. I think the linesman blocked the cam from the other side. Toronto also has way more views to look at that we don’t get to see, but I thought it was offsides too, although it was really close to 50/50

    EDIT: biz just said on TNT that the camera is on top of the glass so I was wrong and now I’m wondering as well why we didn’t get that view…

  9. You can buy a better camera for under $5 on fucking Temu or some shit. What the fuck, NHL……..

  10. why does your screenshot look so fuzzy?

    if you watch frame by frame, the puck is that little black dot on the heel of the blade, still on the blue line.

    (that being said, suuuuuuper ticky tack offsides calls suck and I’m fine with it standing, so long as we don’t get fucked the opposite way sometime later)

  11. I genuinely think there’s no way on this evidence to overturn, but neither can you confirm that it’s the right call. I think in this situation, a delay of game penalty is not fair. That penalty should only happen when you can confirm the call on the ice was correct.

  12. Yeah the cameras screwed up here. Hope they install better ones because what’s the point of review if at the end of the day, you’re just gonna say, “sorry, can’t assume the position of anything and the critical object can’t be observed?”

  13. The offside challenge rule needs to be changed. It should be only full speed replay reviews, no slow motion replay. This way egregious offsides could be corrected but these stupid frame by frame offsides that don’t actually impact the scoring play can go away.

  14. It’s gotta be 100% to overturn. I’d be absolutely fuming if the roles were reversed and the refs overturned that for us. Let’s be real. Tough call but a good one.

  15. Regular season the goal would have been pulled. I promise.

    Regular season MacKinnon wouldn’t have got that interference call either. Just playoff stuff, and weird to see at home.

    Oh well.
