The post Offside Debate: Red Wings Coach Says Right Call Made appeared first on Detroit Hockey Now . Todd McLellan In successive losses, the Detroit Red Wings have seen goals wiped off the scoreboard following video reviews. During Tuesday’s 3-2 loss to the Ottawa Senators, an Alex DeBrincat power-play goal was called back because Detroit forward Patrick Kane put himself offside during his entry into the Ottawa zone.
Saturday, as the Wings lost 4-2 to the Boston Bruins, a replay determined that a James van Riemsdyk shot entered the Boston net about one-10th of a second after time had expired at the end of the first period. Both goals would’ve given the Red Wings a 1-0 lead. Naturally, this has led to some discontent among the Detroit faithful.
Starting to think that the NHL offside rule is inconsistent on offense. Why does the blue line count as the zone when keeping the puck in, but a hard line you have to fully cross on entry? A small tweak would have helped the #LGRW last night.
