after watching the bruins lose the game due to a pretty weak hooking call with 30 seconds left in the game, i think id have to agree

The Bruins know the new rules. Zero tolerance for hooking.

Then again, maybe they're not smart enough to adapt. ;)

Have to agree, the amount of penalties called was unbelieveable.  They wanted to have higher scoring games.  I'm sure they will get it.  But for me power plays just aren't that exciting.  The Sens had only one(!) shot on goal the entire second period due mostly to being short manned for most of it.  But it made thier heartbreaker win over the Leafs that much more sweet.  ;)

You mean the rules aren't set up to encourage lethal assault anymore? Damn.  I'm boycotting the season.  Again.

In respect to goons everywhere..  I proudly present the king of goons and my idol for what a goon should strive to be..

http://images.google.com/images?svnum=10&hl=en&lr=&safe=off&c2coff=1&q=claude+lemieux&btnG=Search

not only does he throw you on your head..   blade to the face... tripping..  elbowing.. biting..  hooking to the groin.. and my personal favorite sucker punching the opposing team..  drawing retailiation fouls..

He is the King..  The best part about his game is that on top of all the above infractions..  He puts up mad pts also..


He is the king of goonery..   used to be Bobby P.. of detroit..  Now Claude is the man...

Shame the NHL turning into the powder puff girls to protect figure skaters like kariya and gang..

PS:  Panthers won...  2-0 (corrected)

hehehe

sort of like preventing all car wrecks at nascar would reduce attendance by 50%

hockey is fighting to some, just as wrestling to some is cracking chairs over your opponents head before you jump off the corner post and elbow him in the throat :)

i agree with a lot of the penalties called sand, but with 30 seconds left you don't call borderline stuff in a close or a tie game. its an unspoken rule...i referee and play in 3 different leagues and i dont think i would have called that plain and simple.. plus the fact whoever the forward with had grabbed onto the shaft of fitzgeralds stick as well

With all the wistles it definatly is a panzy game now. But, I do like the elimination of the 2 line pass rule, seems to have opened games up more. Last night the Sabres won 6-4. I havnt seen the Sabres play in a ten point game in awhile. Anyone know what the 2 new lines behind the nets are for? I assume that they have something to do with the goalie.

the lines behind the net are the boundries a goalie can play the puck in... its a 2:00 penalty if he goes into the corner to fetch a dump in, etc...

i def like the no 2 line pass rule... loved that about college hockey for a while... but come on, we need some open ice hits..those are still legal!

I'm gonna give it more than a game before I complain. The westcoast team games I watched were terrible with the new rules, but the East Coast games ie:  Philly vs New York were awesome.... banging, scoring, and still stupid Jager penalties.


DoctorYO , Claude was my fav player growing up. Loved to watch that guy. Especially in playoffs, he always got it done. :aok

And that was always a dumb rule that teams would exploit, same as in the playoffs.  At least it'll be consistent now and if you do the crime you do the time.

I watched parts of probably 5 games last night and it was easy to see some teams had gotten the message while others had not.  Leafs/Sens was the perfect example, they each got caught a couple of times by bad habits but otherwise the tempo of the game was great.  I thought the goalies really had to shine in that one and the actual scoring opportunities were way up.  Same in Vancouver (vs. Coyotes).  On the other hand the Devils (vs. Penguins) seems to have forgotten and took a mass of penalties early (which can be just as much a killer as a late one).  Good thing Brodeur bailed the Devils out.

Give it 20 games and see where it's at.  Either it'll revert back to the "clutch and grab league" or guys will figure it out and lose some bad habits.

Yes.  I have a variety of problems:

1.)  The NHL is now street hockey on ice.  With the removal of the red line for 2 line passes, there are no breakouts, no strategy and no setups.  The game can be summed up as "Ok... everyone go this way... ok now everyone go that way, repeat."

2.)  The tolerance for penalties is insane.  Its WAY too low.  Stuff was getting called that I just couldnt believe.  Half of what made hockey appealing was that it USED TO BE the only sport where the rules were "suggestions" and you got away with everything you could.
 
3.)  The defenseman cannot TOUCH a forward infront of the goalie until HE touches the puck.  This means the netminder is screened almost the entire game and all that the D can do is watch and then knock the guy after he re-directs a puck into the net.

4.)  The ref's having mics.  WTF is this?  It may sound like a small complaint... but this isnt football.  Half of the rite of passage for being a hockey fan is figuring out what the hell all the hand signals mean.  

5.)  The Power Plays are so numerous now that 5 on 5 hockey rare, at best.  The Flyers had an ENTIRE PERIOD of powerplay time during the game... and TWO 5 on 3's!  You dont get two 5 on 3's in a SEASON!

6.)  The excitement of goals is gone.  There was something to be said for working your bellybutton off for 60 minutes, having two goals to show for it and ending the game one goal ahead.  Now the mentality is basically "Ok... theyre in the zone... who is going to score."  Its like lax in that aspect.  The goals dont mean anything because the other team can come back and score 5 of them in a matter of minutes.

Im very, VERY disapointed.  The NHL ruined hockey in an effort to get people with short attention spans who wont watch anyway to pay attention.

Meanwhile, they alienated the core fan base.

Did the clutching and grabbing need to go?  Yes.  The Trap?  Yes.  But for Christs sake... let them hurt eachother.  The old player roles are just gone and now the game is one dimentional: can you get close enough to the goalie before the other guy to get a shot.
