With the brutal calls this year, I thought this could be a good thread to keep track of it.  The idea came after what was, in my opinion, one of the worst calls in a while this afternoon:

omg how the hell was that Duchene goal allowed??? and the preds lost that by 1 goal...just awful wow

[jollymania]

Wow.  That Duchene offsides was ridiculous.  Even he looked confused then decided to shoot it anyway. 

 

That's the thing, as much complaining as there is about the penalty calls, to me the quality of officiating from the linesmen has gone way down too.

I can't believe that they didn't catch Duschene offside.  How does that happen?

Brain fart

The rules in the NHL are f***ed when we have video replay and something like Duchene's goal still counts.

I don't know, I could have been having a smoke on the patio at the bar watching the tv inside fom a hundred feet away and still would have seen that clear offside

 

edit: maybe we should start cherry picking, hide behind the goalie and wait for a puck lol

Ya but did Mason really expect him to take the shot and it count? the entire arena, except the linesman realized it was offside

Honestly they're f***ed when there's 4 officials on the ice and that goal still counts.

Isn't this technically one of the worst no calls? lol

 

Yeah that was horrible.  Duchene even slowed down because he knew he was offsides, then realized there was no whistle and finished the job.

The NHL owes Nashville a public apology for that debacle.

[joshy207]

It seems the linesman (mistakenly) thought the Nashville player intentionally sent the puck into his own zone, which, if he had actually done that, would have resulted in no offside.  Instead, the puck bounced off the Nashville player and into his zone, so it should have been offside.

Today reminded me of some of the early NFL officiating with the replacement refs, that Duchene goal being allowed is unacceptable. I don't understand why they don't adjust the rule for situations like this that if they decide it's a complete and utter crap call between periods that it becomes overturned. Even in Jeopardy if they get something wrong after the commercial break they will fix it and readjust the points. I don't like Nashville but they got the shaft today.

Yeah, touché. Watch Nashville miss the playoffs by a point now too.. Ha

As much as I feel bad that they got screwed like that, there is still no guarantee they would have won, and I couldn't care less if they miss they miss the playoffs by a point, especially if that point they miss it by is our point. We as wings fans are supposed to hate Nashville, but that isn't my reasoning for not caring, it's more the fact that they beat us 4-1 last year, and Rinne seems to stand on his head when they play us, so I would rather face a team like Colorado, Phoenix, or Dallas more then Nashville in the Playoffs.

It wasn't anywhere near as bad as Duchene's but Datsyuks highlight reel goal against LA was offside as well...Glad the Linesman missed that one.

See that is a matter of perspective though, the ref felt he had control of the puck, considering he plays pucks off his skates regularly, Duchene was 10 feet offside and even he knew it
