How is this icing? This happens way too much.
Please explain the logic here. I see icing and offsides called so many times when it’s obviously the wrong call. Edit: I know what no touch icing is, and this clearly was the wrong call even for ...

@DEDLYGOD No touch icing that I believe was pioneered in the CHL but was definitely adopted by the NHL to reduce injuries from chasing the puck.

I'm not sure it is worth it, but it's based upon a line bisecting the faceoff circles.
- @VeronicatheCD I understand no touch icing, I’ve been playing and watching hockey for years, this shouldn’t have been called icing bc I beat the defender in the race.
- @DEDLYGOD Paying close attention to who iced it, yes, you crossed that line first so you should have beat the icing. If we draw another line from goal to goal, you crossed into that quadrant at the same time, but the puck had not yet entered that quadrant to make that make sense, even if EA was altering it.
- @VeronicatheCD Yeah I would have won the race to any quadrant if you look at it and slow it down. Something is off. It’s been that way for a couple of years but seems worse this year. The same with offsides. Earlier today I carried the puck into the offensive zone, 3 feet in I got bumped off the puck but then regained possession. When I regained possession seconds after getting knocked off the puck, it called offsides. I wish I would have recorded it. Next time I will and I’m going to keep updating this thread.
