Offside Rule Change Recommended By GMs

03-03-2020, 10:56 PM

The NHL GMs have agreed to a rule amendment that would allow a skate that's above the blueline to count as being onside.

NHL general managers recommend change to how offside rule is applied

The NHL general managers voted Tuesday in favor of changing the application of the offside rule to allow for players to be considered onside as long as one of their skates is above the vertical plane of the blue line regardless if it is in contact with the ice.

I think it's great, should have happened earlier.
