Winnipeg Jets One of Many Teams Burned on Offsides

[amir]

Flash-back to Matt Duchene of the Colorado Avalanche. He receives a stretch pass almost 20 feet into the offensive zone, and no ref notices. Instead of stopping, Duchene goes down on the goal, and buries the game-winning-goal Ondrej Pavelec Shirt. Not only was this the worst called goal in National Hockey League history, but it created the most controversial rule in the book, offside review. On Matt Duchenes goal, the evidence is more than obvious that the likelihood of that puck going into the back of the net was increased because Matt was offside.

Water for Connor Incid et1 w ago My second issue with the rule https://www.jetstee.com/Dale_Hawerchuk_Shirt-9, goes back to the Duchene incident. If Ehlers were half a centimetre behind where he was, and stayed on-side, would it still have been a goal? Of course, the offside didnt create any offense, and in fact, is decreasing scoring league wide. Whats a more exciting game, 1-1, or 1-0? Of course its the former. This rule was implemented to turn-back calls like Duchenes, not destroy a game like Ehlers. The Winnipeg Jets got ripped off on this one, but dont think theyre the only ones.
