Interesting from GM’s meeting, the possession/control on offside remains status quo but Colie Campbell showed the overturned Wild goal where Marcus Johansson was deemed offside. Johansson was furious after game. Campbell said it was an incorrect overturn & Johansson was onside

Johansson doesn’t give a fuck
What game are they referring too?
I never understood why they did this. Possession is somewhat arbitrary. I think it should be skate positioning relative to the blue line only.
It’s kind of like the old NFL receiving rule that a player catching a pass could be ruled in bounds even if his feet were not inbounds if another player pushed them out during the catch. The ref could literally call him in bounds if he “thought” the player would have come down in bounds if they were not pushed.
Needless to say the NFL scrapped this because it was arbitrary. I feel like NHL needs to do this with “on side possession/control”.
Haha way to trigger the fans. Remind them of one blown call, not a group of players underperforming… Can we just accept the season is not worth barely stumbling into the playoffs only to get waxed? Let’s see some young guys play. Bring up wallstedt for a few games and see where’s he’s at
They really need to stop reviewing offsides after the fact. If it wasn’t egregious enough to be noticed in real time its not much of an advantage to the player.
