I'm glad the league made that change last year where a failed offside challenge resulted in a penalty. Last year and this year we see less of those damn challenges.
Also, two or three years ago there was nothing to lose in challenging an OT winner for offsides. Really takes the "thrill" (or disappointment) out of the OT winner when you have to wait 4 or 5 minutes for the official result even if it was hardly in doubt.
Really, please don't make the NHL like the NFL where the Refs are the "third opponent." Some NFL games are unwatchable with all the penalties.
Oh, and cool pic
