Bjugstad was decent in the regular season, but he's become a much better playoff performer than I was expecting. Doing lots of really good things all over the ice.

Ok, but goalie interference has a far more significant impact on a goal being scored than whether a guy was offside by half an inch more than a couple of minutes ago. You have to admit that much.
I realize I'm going to start coming off too defensive on this topic, but I honestly do see offside as an important call. It's a line that keeps all offensive players behind before the puck crosses.
It completely shapes the way the game of hockey is played and I see it as important to get right. If a player crossed the line before the puck - no matter how close - there is technically no play after, the only thing historically that allowed play to continue and goals to be scored after a dead play was the official missing the call, similar to how goals were never able to be called back or changed to a goal before review was implemented.
Subjective calls are tough, objective calls like offside we should just get right because we can.
"Hey NHL, it's Rogers - Listen I know we won the rights by paying an absurd amount of money and have now had to lay off half our staff and go back on all sorts of promises we made to fans in terms of production and quality. But we're in a tough spot, just give us OT commercial breaks.....pretty please?!!"
Petrovic has been really bad in his own zone all series. I wonder if Kindl is in for him next game. That goal was on him fumbling the puck in the corner without much pressure.
