They were arguing this on the Flames broadcast a few weeks ago while waiting for the coach's challenge.

My personal opinion is that the blueline should be a "plane" the same way the goal line is a plane. If your skate is off the ice, but you're in the blueline plane, you're good.

If it's a challengable call, then it has to be a black and white rule. I just think it should be a plane rather than a line.

And I think failed challenges should result in a delay of game penalty, and not the loss of a timeout.
