new rules

[driftinggrifter2]

If there are any hockey fans here i was just wandering how do ya'll like the rule changes they put in this season?
Me personally i like the new offsides/tag rule but i dont like how the made the goalies stuff smaller.

I'm loving the new rules. I think they had to start mandating the goalies pads, as some of them were taking it to the extreme. Garth Snow was starting to be made fun of with the size of his pads.

I think the rules have made a very interesting game. Something that needed to be done, especially after last years fiasco (lock-out)

I like the rule changes. As the season has gone on, the players have been adjusting and its making the games so much better.

I am a bit surprised how much I like the shootouts. I was a little aprehensive about them, but damn, they kick ass!

I love the shootouts that was one of the things I was in favor of. I guess I don't like the goaile pads being smaller due to the fact that my team (lightning) let their goalie go and now we are stuck with someone who is inconsistent.

I like the new rules. I think that they should also get rid of the instigator rule. It would help to make people more acountable on the ice and if they aren't they get poped in the eye. If it's good enought for Mickey Redmon it's good enough for me.

Man, you're preaching to the choir. I'm a Penguin fan... You wanna talk about inconsistancy?

I feel ya the Penguins are my second fav team. It's to bad bout Mario though. I loved watching him before he retired the first time.

I agree with restricting the padding goalies wear. That was getting out of control. I also like the shoot outs. To bad my team the Wild suck ass at them

hey dont worry my team the pens cant get a break and it they move out of here with this arena shit ill be devistated.

[sickpuppyz]

if they can stay and let all there young talent bloom they will be good

[driftinggrifter2]

There talent is already good outside of the goalie. Just like the lightning. Your offence can only put up so many goals but goalies make the diffrence.
Look at the devlis with brodeur. We should of kept N. Habibulion

ya the shootouts are awesome... especially when ovechkin is shooting
