Hossa: Offside review slows down the game

Marian Hossa has something to say.

Following the Chicago Blackhawks' 1-0 overtime loss to the New York Rangers on Friday, the veteran forward sounded off on the offside review rule, implemented last season.

"Well, obviously that's a tough one. I mean, I didn't notice it was close to offside but obviously with today's technology, with this new rule, it's a game of inches," Hossa told Tracey Myers of CSN Chicago. "It's slowing the game down, I think. You're getting confused, what exactly the coaches are looking for."

Hossa, of course, scored midway through the third period only to have it overturned by an offside review call initiated by the Rangers.

"(The NHL) created this new rule and we just have to deal with it," Hossa added. "But sometimes it's more frustrating because the league wants to increase the scoring and right now, I think more goals are disallowed because of this."
