This is why it kills me when Gulutzan challenges things that are obviously not going to be called back. I'm not sure who it is that makes the decision but if it's somebody whispering in Glens ear to do it, there have been some bad advice in multiple games this season.

If the team is gassed it's still a valid strategy to stall and break up the other team's momentum though, even when you know the challenge isn't winnable.
EDIT - Here's an offside in the Jets/Caps game that was said to be a good goal, despite the trailing leg of the Jets player not being grounded when the puck enters the zone.
