NHL playoffs Saturday: Capitals punish Flyers for gaffes in Game 2 win

So the NHL has to be fuming that the biggest headline-grabber is the officiating.

For the second straight night, debates were sparked across the league after coach’s challenges highlighted the inconsistencies, ambiguities or straight-up flaws in the NHL’s rule book and video review system.

Remember, the offsides rule is clear: a player is offsides when “both skates are completely over the leading edge of the blue line involved in the play,” and a player is on sides “when either of his skates are in contact with, or on his own side of the line, at the instant the puck completely crosses the leading edge of the blue line.”

Based on the angles, it was an extremely close call. The officials upheld the goal call, and the Rangers went on to take a 3-1 lead by the end of the period.

The lead was short-lived, as the Rangers went on to score two goals in the next few minutes.
