The fact that teams are permitted to challenge plays which might be offside by millimeters is (frank)ing asinine.

If that was the Pens goal they'd probably have said it was good

Because...........Pittsburg.

I really can't stand anything about the Pens. Ridiculous...

I don't understand what prompted this league to institute this stupid review. If the officials miss one, it's such a minuscule margin that never leads directly to the goal anyway.

That one was interesting. Is it cause of where he had the puck?

there was an egregious no-call that prompted them to do it

Smart challenge though. I thought it might have been that by the time he actually had full control of the puck it was offside

doesn't it need to be indisputable?

So of course the league overreacted and vomitted out this ridiculous offsides challenge

Not for Pittsburgh

Most of the GM'S requested it from the sounds of it.

Overall, I don't mind it. It's a multi million dollar industry. Get it right. Offsides is offsides whether it's by a millimeter or a mile. That being said, what constitutes "indisputable evidence" has baffled me this year.

yup...it was in the playoffs so everyone saw it....every other league has replay, not sure what everyone's ticked about

- Michael Pachla

That's what I figured but I'll be honest every new challenge I learn something new about what should be a very simple rule

Not for Pittsburgh

first thing that popped into my head was the sabres getting screwed in the Dallas game

Awful call

I don't remember one recently. Who was it?

I do recall Todd Krieger getting an awful one against us in the playoffs for an OT goal in '98.

I think you should be given a delay of game penalty if you challenge it and you're wrong. Would be completely logical and would cut down on these unless it was blatantly obvious.

Awful call

Mannnn...Bettman must want the Pens to win.

Just terrible officiating on another level since the Ottawa series

can't remember but it was way offsides--by feet

The crosscheck by Neal was blatantly stupid. He deserved it, and it was after the original one was called.

What would you think about replay for tripping, slashing, roughing and cross checking penalties?

The original one was a miss. The forearm play by Crosby on ekholm was kinda shady too

You get one challenge per game. If a team wants to waste it (and a potential timeout) on a penalty, be my guest.
