Hmmm...yeah, maybe you're right. In fact, you're definitely right.
Tagging up, delayed offsides, offsides (or 2 line) pass and the
different variations of all of them. In fact, I'm not even sure what
rules are used in what leagues any more!

After it happened, the Zebra said icing overrules offsides.

So the player was behind the goal line and recieved a "pass"? Talk
about cherry picking. NHL? NCAA? Men's League? That's a toughy.

It's "Mite Fest" this weekend in addition to states, so I'll check out
the rules for NYS High School and Youth Hockey. My nephew drives me
nuts, he sort of roams around with one hand on his stick, hardly
backchecking, hardly hustling until he somehow gets the puck and then
he turns it on. Unfortunately, he's the leading scorer. For now. I
think it's going to be really tough for him when the other kids catch
up and he can no longer just skate around them. I don't know how
parents do it - if I had kids I'd probably have a heart attack!
