OFFSIDES REDUX

“It was offsides,” he said. “They called it back. I’m not going to get into the technicalities of it. I don’t know the fine print of it but I do know the intention of the rule is not to have goals go in the net when an offsides has taken place. There was a technicality there. As far as I’m concerned, it was the right call. There’s going to be times that things are missed. As good as the refs are, and we had really good ones the other night, there are going to be times when calls are missed. The purpose of the challenge is to get things right, to not have the situation where an offsides leading up to a goal is the difference in a hockey game. The other thing I’d like to throw out is if their dasher was OK, we’re probably not even talking about it. That was quite the bounce.”
