Message: [QUOTE="brasssbonanzaa, post: 2562242, member: 794"] The offsides review was implemented a few years ago and was amended over this past summer. Previously, you could review ANY offside play that was not whistled as such if it resulted in a goal while the puck remained in the zone. The most glaring example of this came in the BU-North Dakota NCAA Tournament game where UND scored in OT but it was eventually waved off because a UND player was offside about 20-30 seconds before it. The amendment this summer was if the defensive team possesses the puck at any point after the offside call in question, it is no longer reviewable. BU had possessed the puck in the play above before the goal was scored. So, Clarkson would've had to come in and maintain possession for all 15 seconds without QU getting ahold of the puck in any regard. It's a somewhat ridiculous review rule, compounded by the fact that they don't mandate rinks to have cameras along the blue line so often the ref reviewing the play has to make the call based on a bunch of really bad angles. The BU-UND review was a solid 5 minutes before they finally found a camera angle that definitively showed the guy offside. [/QUOTE]
