Blackhawks playoffs 2016: The games finally mean something

[CubInOK]

I still don't get how he was offsides, but cool.

[Derwood]

I hate to defend St. Louis in any way at all, but if they lose, they might be right to cry "screw job" on this one

[UMFan83]

If this goal counts and the Hawks win we will never hear the end of it

[bcl412]

i still don't know all the hockey rules even though I've watched my whole life but i don't see how that's overturned.

[USSoccer]

So you can challenge a reviewed goal, huh. Seems redundant.

[CubInOK]

That was a completely good goal by Shaw.

I think they review different things whether it's Toronto or on the ice. Not really sure though but I'm sure we will hear a lot about the replay system over next few days.

Is there controversy here?

[bcl412]

Shaws goal was fine but i still have no clue how that offsides was conclusive

[UMFan83]

Shouldn't be on the Hawks goal but definitely on blues non goal.

[bcl412]

Oh the nerves of trying to kill off a playoff game.

 

That ended immediately.

I thought on that still frame they showed his skate was clearly in the air with the puck still on the blue line

Well that makes things less nervy.

[bcl412]

St louis is the worst city on the planet

[CubInOK]

Throwing trash on the ice?

 

These are the same people as the #BFIB. They don't do such things.

2 inconclusive plays given to the Hawks at crucial moments. Blackhawks announcers given the national treatment. Remind me why I even watch

"Ok boss i cant think for my self" ref

Hawks goal under review

"You know the drill call it good goal even though it was obvious interference" Toronoto

"Her der i like milk" ref

"God damnit why do we hire these people?" Toronto 1

"Because they listen and dont question us" Toronto 2

Idk what the hell happened. I was watching and the blues went up 2-1 and I changed the channel. Then I checked nhl.Com and it said 3-1 Hawks lead late in third which quickly changed to 3-2 final. Then I came in here, read this page and got more confused.

That's hockey baby!

Guys, this isn't that hard. The refs got it right...he was offsides.

His back skate is in the air, so that means that he is entirely across the line before the puck is entirely across that line.

 

If his back skate was on the ice, he'd be considered still partly behind the line, and then it would've been ok. Plenty of debate if that's how offsides should work, but it's how it currently does work.

[BigbadB]

I'm impressed that Chicago caught the offsides at all. It took way longer for the officials to determine it was offsides than it took for someone on the Hawks to see it. On top of that, the offside really had no impact on how the Blues scored that goal, but hey, rules are rules.

 

And the Shaw goal wasn't just clean, it was awesome!
