It took them about 5 minutes to review it.

Calling it blatant is a stretch. I'm not saying it's the wrong call, but we've seen enough of those situations in the past, either way fans would be up in arms.

 

I'm saying after the fact, they had nothing to complain about because that last camera angle made it obvious.

They have something to be upset about. Reading the interpretation of the rule reminds me so much of the NFL catch rule, it is sad. Even though you aren't offsides, you are offsides because your skate is in the air? How stupid. Does that mean if you jump off of the ice for a moment, you are off-sides because you aren't touching the ice anywhere? That is why I would be upset. The rule is stupid.

He made contact with the offensive zone and had nothing in contact with the ice on the other side of the blue line. It's pretty simple.

Except he wasn't in the offensive zone either. It is stupid.

I agree the rule is stupid and that the rule was correctly interpreted.

 

My thing is offsides is a little over enforced now. These types of calls shouldn't be major decisions deciding games and it probably shouldn't be able to negate goals.

 

If the league wants to enforce these rules, they should have a replay official who can say immediately "Offsides" without letting an offensive zone chance develop ending in an awkward negated goal.

I'm in the building, not sure what the crew is saying, but the Hawks have looked great today.

That Ladd shot that looked like it was in about midway through the second was declared a goal by Doc Emrick.

 

The national booth has been very impartial. But indeed the Hawks look very good.

Hawks have to play 3 periods.

Agreed. Kane has been rough this series. The Hawks felt like they were in control and then suddenly they weren't. Definitely not expected from a Q coached team.

100%

The other guy that has really been noticeable on the bad end is Teuvo. He is playing like a high school kid. And God forbid he ever win a board battle. I know he's still super young, but I'm not sure what purpose he really serves out there.

I just wonder if the role Teuvo is built to play and the role Q wants him to fill are incompatible.

He seems to always be on the "checking " line but that just doesn't fit him. He needs to play with more skilled guys but there is no room on the second KGB line. Maybe he could switch with Hossa?

He NEEDS to switch with Hossa ideally. Hossa is a 3rd liner at this point. I still think Teravainen is probably Toews future RW although he can play center if he bulks up.

If this were November, I would think this was a no brainer. At some point (if not now, next season) Hossa will need to be moved down to the third line anyway as he's just not the guy he was a few seasons ago.

He isn't tough enough to play on that top line yet. Hossa can still win a board battle.

He has Ladd and Toews already winning board battles. A guy with his vision can be a weapon on that line.

Wow, this stat:

 

It was Chicago's first regulation loss when leading after two periods since Game 2 of the 2014 Western Conference finals against the Los Angeles Kings. The Blackhawks had been 70-0-4 since the start of last season when they had the lead at the beginning of the third, according to STATS.

Blackhawks W-L stats are super gaudy as the series progresses, too. If I'm St. Louis, this isn't won until ten minutes after I win the fourth game. Blackhawks are always in it.
