Justin Brazeau goal called back for offside after Blues challenge – Tough Call Review



Justin Brazeau goal called back for offside after Blues challenge – Tough Call Review

Here’s a play where the Boston Bruins work the puck into the zone and then about 15 seconds later they take the puck to the net and score a goal but the blues challenge for offside it is pretty clear that the Bruen player does enter the Zone before the puck it’s

Blatantly offside in that regard how does the puck enter the Zone it looks like St Louis lose Defender Tory Krug knocks it back into his own Zone according to NHL rule 83 offside if a player legally carries a puck back into his own defending Zone while a

Player of the opposing team is in such defending Zone the offside shall be ignored and play permitted to continue so the question is did Tory Krug legally carry pass or play the puck back into his own defending Zone and I see indisputable evidence that Tory Krug knocked this puck back into

His own Zone legally I can see the question being asked of is this enough control over a play to be defined as carrying passing or playing the puck it’s a little bit of a possession and control kind of a situation as always with offside let’s just say there was a delayed

Penalty called on the St Louis Blues is this enough of a controlled Touch by Tory KRW to blow the play dead for the penalty I think it is therefore to me this goal should have counted it should have been a good goal

According to NHL Rule 83 – Offside, I’m having a lot of trouble understanding why they saw enough to overturn a call of good goal on the ice here.

  1. I'm pretty sure Toronto's reasoning was that Brazeau's stick pushed Krugs stick so that's why it was offside. It took them 5 minutes to interpret the rule, just complete nonsense.

  2. The force sending the puck into the zone was from Lauko. Just because it hit off Krug's stick and changed direction doesn't mean he provided that force. He reached for a poke check to slow it up. Run it at full speed instead of overanalyzing it in slow motion. There is no way he was trying to gather it into himself.

  3. I agree but it is just another example of how the NHL enforces its own rules. That one missed call changed the entire direction of the game.
