the offsides is usually very remote in time and consequence... there is rarely any direct connection between the offsides and the subsequent goal ... it really distracts from the game
Note: there is a legal concept known as proximate cause... that takes into account proximity in time and remoteness... for example, assume John gets into an accident in NJ at 10:00 PM ... if it can be demonstrated that John ran a red light in Maryland at 5:00 PM on his way to NJ, it can be said that his negligence in running the red light had a causal link to his accident in NJ at 10:00 because had he stopped for the red light he almost certainly would not have arrived at the location at 10:00 and the accident would have been avoided.
But the law rejects such arguments and requires that the connection be a more direct and efficient cause of the harm. I would argue that the same concept is why so many of us hate allowing an offsides review to invalidate a subsequent scoring play.
offsides review in the NHL sucks - your post could have been simple and succinct. every fan knows it sucks.
my point about the time it takes was not indicating the time it takes as the reason it sucks.
my point about the time it takes was that if the NHL would remove short-handed icing, it would likely increase game time and sports are hesitant to do that these days.
If that were an issue that became a sticking point I'd say to remove offsides review thinking that might be something the NHL would consider to even out the time it added by removing short-handed icing.
NHL offsides review should not exist, but it does and the league so far has shown no interest in removing it.
but my point about the time it takes was not my opinion of why it sucks.
... and yet a competitive period by the Rangers... noticeably different play by Rangers over the last 3 games... W or L, it is much more enjoyable watching them when they get back to being a hard working team focusing on jumping on puck
Just watched Krieder's goal and Nieves actually made a really Â
That Nash dropped the first puck tonight? That's awesome.
They had a pre-game ceremony for him... he was out at mid ice with his wife and little girl ... but I missed the actual face-off... that is pretty awesome though
I really don't know where he stands statistically, but during his time with the Rangers, I was really impressed by how he developed his defensive game. So many goal scorers accomplish that by cheating on their zone responsibilities and always looking to get a jump on a break out, but Nash's game was solid in all areas.
Ah crap... I forgot about the interview.. I wanted to see that Â
2-2 at the end of the first... Rangers had played well when 5x5 but gave Columbus 3 PP
Stayed 2-2 through most of the 2nd... Columbus made it 3-2 with around 5 minutes to go ...
Then in the last 2 minutes of the 2nd, the game got out of control with 3 goals scored, 2 of them by Columbus... to end the 2nd 5-3 and the game was over (and the Rangers played a much a weaker 3rd period)
More importantly, TSN has Kravtsov as the top prospect in the league. First time I’ve seen him up that high but he’s consensus top 10 at least. There were lot of questions surrounding the pick so it’s nice to see Link - ( New Window )

Saw that earlier today - I was really pissed that we took him over Wahlstrom that night, but it's starting to look like it was actually a pretty darn good pick and I've warmed up to it exponentially since.
He was playing hurt during Juniors, and every time I watched, it looked like he was in the middle of everything or making a play. I was pretty impressed with him.
BTW - when was the last time we scored 3 unanswered goals?
I bet we haven't done it since the game we shut out NYI a few weeks back. I've grown conditioned to expect that every goal we score will be answered with a goal by the other team.

Yea, good point. So far, this seems to be their strongest game since the losing streak started. Let's see them do it for 60 minutes.
Rangers controlling possession in this 2nd period Â
Of this young team. We have some decisions to make with Zucc and especially Hayes (playing his best hockey). But I love watching a possible rejuvenation period with these guys.
Agree Chop... and I predict the young D Lindgren is here to stay Â
Also, Mika might have played his best game last night. He was everywhere.
Brassard looks to be on the verge of getting traded by Pittsburgh. Mixed record for Gorton so far but he absolutely nailed that trade. Timed it perfectly. Mika still only 25 and locked up for three more seasons. 41 points in 46 games now

sorry I confused you.

Shattenkirk is Fucking Atrocious.

Bless your soul... 10 days without the Rangers feels more like a vacation to me.

Just waiting for pitchers and catchers at this point

Igor is on there too. @ 10, IIRC.

That is now 16 straight - 16! - at home over Carolina

That's incredible
It is the Hurricanes, so... take it with a grain of salt.
But it was still nice to see them put together an effort like that and put a bunch of pucks in the net.
Nice night for Tony DeAngelo.
