When they announced that offsides were going to be challengeable under the Coach's Challenge, I was opposed to it because I knew it would lead to ridiculous calls like we saw tonight in Edmonton.
45 seconds after the Pens entered the zone, they scored, and it was called back because a player lifted his skate a fraction of a second before the puck crossed the line... 45 seconds before the goal was scored.
That's ridiculous. How does that improve the game in any way? On one hand, fans and media complain about the games being too low scoring, then they call back a goal like that.
