I think you need to re-read the thread as you are clearly not following along. We are talking about what the linesmen said he thought had happened not what actually happened.

No I'm following along just fine thanks. He's going to take the call of the experienced linesman over the rulebook, despite the fact that experienced linesman admittedly didn't know the rule. I don't care how experienced he was, he missed the call because he didn't know the rule.

What rule didn't he know? And why does only one person on Calgary Puck know this rule? You'd think the media would pick up on this story.
He admitted he made a mistake and thought the puck was coming from a defensive player. Had that been the case it would be on side but it didn't come from a Nashville player and he admitted he was wrong.
The linesmen knows the rules just fine. Simple mistake.

If that guy thought that a Nashville player had the requisite control to negate the offside rule on that play he should be fired. There was nothing on that play that even comes remotely close to it.

The linesman admits he was wrong on the facts, not on the application of the rule.

That's not what we're debating here we all agree that the Nash player didn't have control and it should have been offside.
For the sake of what we are debating, assume that Nashville did play it back (no debates, clean, not tips nothing to their own goalie.
Thneed was saying that Duchene needed to be in the Nash zone when the puck was played back, and since he was in the neutral zone when the pass back was initiated then Duchene was offside regardless.
Puckluck and I are saying that it's irrelevant, if Nashville plays the puck back it's basically fair game for Duchene to be offside.

And the answer is Thneed is technically correct because that's how the rule reads. That does not, however, necessarily mean that it is how the rule is called. The words in the rulebook do not always translate to the officials' practice on the ice with respect to a lot of things. The rules of hockey are partly the result of the rulebook and partly the result of how the rulebook is consistently (or rather, hopefully consistently) applied on the ice.
It's irrelevant anyway because no matter what the rule is the call was still ridiculously wrong.

This ain't from the NHL, it's from SM-Liiga (Finnish League). I just have to share this, it's a disgrace, so before you start whining about NHL referees, be glad they aren't as bad as this (And this is pretty common in Europe these days except for KHL). He got a 5+20 game misconduct for charging, seems about right?
hahaha Pierre McGuire immediately says without thinking. He always needs to sound like the smart one.
"Jackson makes the right call"
McGuire can't see jack from the benches.
THEN he says "That's going to be a goal, it's 2-2.". It's not reviewable you dope!
Absolute worse analyst in hockey, 10000 times worse than Ferrero and that's saying something.

Um, Yeah that is reviewable. High sticks are reviewable.
