T0asterleav1ns Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Its an improvement but why don't they just ban the use of a challenge for an offside? No one seems to like it. I honestly feel like offside is the sort of thing where if its not obviously an offside, the benefit of the doubt should go to the attacking team (you know, more goals and all that), and calling back goals because someone's toe was in over the line a microsecond early was never the intention, and is HORRIBLE for the flow of the game. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the offsides challenge needs to stay in there for that one in a million Duchene play where he was about 5 feet offside, so I'm content with just making the change to the penalty, that should (hopefully) be enough to deter coaches from just using it flippantly.

Like they get the alert a goal is scored in the office, watch the play, including the blue line, goal stands or they buzz the arena if they need more time. Take it out of the coaches hands and make the league call out their already crappy officials. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the technology we have these days and that hidden blue line camera that they only show us when they feel it there's no reason for this challenging stuff. It shouldn't ever take as long as it does either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, they have so much more than what is shown on TV, taking out the middle man [aka refs and coaches] on crap like that could speed up the game and actually get things right 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleBallofHate Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Isabelle Khurshudyan Verified account @ikhurshudyan DSP said he and his agent didn't get any head's up on the buyout by Devils. It was a surprise. DSP said he was hurt all of last year. A nagging knee thing that he mentioned to Devs in Oct. "I don't want to say I was forced to play ..."

nessus Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 That quote is really frustrating, implying that the organization made him play when he didn't believe he was healthy. IMO, they would be more likely to force him not to play if he was healthy. The Devils could not wait to get rid of him. Whatever, thanks for helping us tank to get Nico, DSP. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had plenty of time to heal in the numerous games he was scratched. How does he account for the same thing happening in Montreal, a city he was tearful of leaving?
