I personally would be fine with know offsides review at all, in any situation. Would there be some missed offsides that lead to crucial goals? Of course. But let's be honest, the vast majority of missed offsides calls are off by literal centimeters. It's just not worth the collective breath holding we all have to do after an exciting goal that comes on a close zone entry

All fine and well until the linesman misses an obvious offside call that results in a game winner. 
Rather than eliminate the review I would like to see it more like the NHL. Lose the review and it’s an automatic 2 minute minor for delay of game, no using the timeout to avoid the penalty.

Not to mention linesman calling offsides when it actually wasn’t. Nothing one can do about so I’m all for no offsides reviews

The intent + spirit of the rule when they made it was so you couldn’t cherry pick 5+ feet past the blueline for offense lol. 

 

Not nitpick if someone’s was 5 centimeters offside

Reviewing allows refs to err on the side of onsides and not blow an exciting play dead. Waiting for verification is the price we pay to have fewer whistles and more action. My biggest (but certainly not only) gripe with soccer is how anytime there's an exciting break they blow it dead for offsides.

Was this a problem before offsides review though? I've been watching hockey a long time and I really don't remember this being any bigger of a problem pre-offsides review versus post

No, but broadcasts are better quality every year and more easily scrutinized. The last few times a goal was called back in games I was watching, I knew there would be a challenge if a goal was scored.

The Fargo Screwjob will never stop stinging, but it did result in a rule change defanging challenges.

My personal preference is when we have the puck, offsides and icing are interpreted liberally, sort of the old baseball rule at second base (in the area). But, when the other team has the puck, strict enforcement.

What hurts more, the game in Fargo vs BU or the game in Fargo versus UMD that went 5 OTs?

Isn’t that like choosing between which serial killer you hate worse?

The BU game.  We won that game and it was stolen by incompetent officials.
