The linesman had a clear view and it looks on side on this video, although it's difficult to tell for sure.

Where will the whining stop. Probably not until the Caps are eliminated. You cannot tell conclusively one way or the other. In other words, close enough to call in on sides. How many other times in the game is there a play that close at the blue line that isn't called? And it isn't even as if it directly led to the winning goal. Seriously, this crying is getting on my nerves.

I agree. In slow-mo it looks offsides. But it's soooooo close. To the naked eye it would be almost impossible to tell. Therefore I don't see any way that they can complain about it.
