Re: Officiating up to your expectations in NCAA tournament?
Upon further reading, the goal on the offsides play SHOULD have been disallowed. But not for an "intentional" offside. The play should not be whistled dead simply because a player is offside. The puck can be legally dumped into the offensive zone with a player already there. That's DELAYED offsides. The offending skater has an opportunity to get onside, and as long as no offensive player played the puck, or a defensive player touches it, the offsides would be waived off. But at the end of the offside rule (page HR 81, Rule 6 section 36, subsection d2) the rule is further clarified:
If the puck enters the defending team’s goal during a delayed offside
or immediately after the offside, the goal is disallowed. The faceoff will
be in the neutral zone at the faceoff spot nearest the attacking zone of the
offending team, if the puck was carried offside. The faceoff shall be at the
nearest spot in the zone of the origin of the pass, if passed offside
I suppose the "immediately after" would be open to interpretation, but it looked immediately after to me, skate hits blueline, puck crosses goal line.
