As do I, and for some reason my freezer keeps growing ice. Offsides is when both skates on an offensive player crosses the blue line before the puck.

O OneEyeJack Joined Sep 14, 2010 Messages 7,485 Location S California Apr 5, 2016 #14 I've seen some of these overtimes. They are much more interesting than the previous 3 periods. Why can't they just do the overtime stuff and drop the regular periods.

Also they are part of the "original" expansion, and never won a Stanley Cup. Also, the injuries the Blues have had to fight through, the star performance from backup goalie Brian E. really impresses.
