I like the new rules, although the broadcast team from OLN needs some
serious help - they suck.

The camera angles are pretty cool too.

What are the new rules? Do they suggest making the game interesting?
Cripes....went to a Rochester game a couple years ago. 2-1 final score, all
achieved in the last 5 minutes. My son concluded that cleaning his room was
more interesting.

They've changed the lines around, different offside rules, the game is a
little faster, scoring appears to be up - a bunch of things that made
sense to change years ago and never did.

The NHL is quite possibly the worst run sporting league in existence.
It's a great sport, but very poorly managed.

I see kids playing better hockey games on frozen parking lots around here.

They were trying to eliminate the 'trap' defence system used by teams
such as New Jersey to slow down play.
Since players are much bigger and faster than 40 or 50 years ago, I've
always felt the NHL should finally go to International Ice Hockey ice
size. That would encourage smaller, faster & skilled players to shine.
