I would like to see the rule changed such that the offside has to affect the play in that the goal comes from a continuous sequence involving the offside. If the defending team has an opportunity to establish zone presence and the goal comes off the cycle, offside shouldn’t matter.

Yeah the offside review needs to be changed. Some thoughts I had that might fix it:
- 10 second review window, if the goal occurs >10 seconds after the infraction - it is unreviewable.
- Refs have 1 minute to review, no use of slow motion to determine if there was an infraction. This would limit called back goals to only obvious offsides that actually provided an advantage to the scoring team. If it is undetectable in real time, the spirit of the rule stays in effect.
