Hawks can do no wrong. 3 goals in less than a minute in the third to win it.

He has to touch the blue line before the puck hits the stick. That picture is meaningless.

Wrong.
If the player has possession it's offside, the puck does not have to be on the stick to constitute possession.
Stickhandling the puck (which is what was happening at the moment of the screenshot) is considered possession even during the moments when the puck isn't touching the stick.

Chicago broadcasters got it right.

Did not see the game or the play. From the picture I have no idea when he touches the puck. Link to a video?

Thanks, if they ruled he didn't have control then Toews skate touched blue line before control happened.

The Controversy: Panik carries the puck into the Avalanche zone on the left wing as Toews tags up down the middle to get back onside. However, there’s question as to whether Toews gets a skate on the blue paint before Panik touches the puck in the Colorado zone. The play is initially called onside, as the linesman judges Panik’s first in-zone touch doesn’t come until Toews has reached the blueline and become onside. This happens 20 seconds before the goal is scored.

Why It Counts: This one’s a bit trickier than the Panarin possession call and relies as much on the lack of evidence as anything.

First, an explanation, via Rule 83.3, which pertains to delayed offside. Per the rulebook, if “any member of the attacking team touches the puck, attempts to gain possession of a loose puck, forces the defending puck carrier further back into his own zone, or who is about to make physical contact with the defending puck carrier, the Linesman shall stop play for the off-side violation.” In this instance, there’s no evidence that any of the above happens to warrant an offside call.

Which brings us to the zone entry. As Panik crosses the blueline, the puck leaves his stick. While he may technically have “possession” at this point in his progress, he’s not physically handling the puck with Toews in an offside position. As Toews comes back to the blueline, the toes of his skates appear to touch the blue paint at the instant Panik makes contact with the puck in the Avalanche zone. By the most technical of definitions, Toews is onside, even if it’s a skin-of-the-teeth close call. The linesman judges that Toews is onside, and with no clearcut evidence to the contrary, the goal is allowed to stand.

It’s not as black and white as your typical offside call, and it’s no wonder it took more than three minutes for a decision to be reached by the officials, but the decision appeared to be the right one by the letter of the law. It’s microscopically close, though. For the Blackhawks, it’s a fortunate break that the linesman didn’t blow the play dead at the moment Panik and Toews were entering the zone. As a result, the Avalanche, in a season where nothing seems to be going their way, have arguably the closest call of the campaign go against them.

Take off the homer-glasses for a second and notice that a player skating in with no one within 20 feet of him and the puck is off his stick for a split second while stick handling. That is considered full control/possession according to NHL rules. Imagine there was a delayed penalty and Panik picks up the puck right before the blue line, would his stickhandling past the blue line not be considered possession?

Read the explanation. This is a totally different situation on a touch up. Either way they still win by 2 goals.  :)
This is BIG trouble for the rest of the league as they are peaking without two of their top forwards.

Is that a quote from a rule book? Can you link to that description? Perhaps it is considered possession but possession qualified by the last touch of the puck which was in the neutral zone. The possession would only change to be considered an offensive zone possession when the player touches the puck again?

I didn't miss anything. He did not attempt to gain possession of a loose puck. The officials are/were aware of the rule. They ruled he did not touch the puck in the zone before Toews touched up. That is what the video showed. Is that what the rule means?

The NHL botched the call.
It isn't a question about whether it touched his stick or not if he has possession already.
The rule says if "you attempt to gain possession of a loose puck", I'd argue maintaining possession is all that and more.
And if having the puck off the stick isn't considered possession then he was attempting to gain possession.

I could be wrong but I believe the NHL is saying possession does matter in this situation. What matters is if he touched the puck in the zone before Toews touched up.

While the rule does not make sense they got it right in both cases. Can we now move on to the real issue? Who is going to stop the Hawks from winning four Cups in eight years?  :)

Rule deals with entry of the puck into the zone. Only time it is waived off is if the team brings the puck back into their own zone when an opposing player is in the zone.
