Great, a collective Bargaining Agreement.
Spectacular, we're playin again.....

But is it really even hockey anymore?
The Columbus Blue Jackets will be as good as the Red Wings.
No more Red Line.
5 minutes of overtime, then a shoot out.
Smaller pads for Goalies.
and the nets moved 2 feet back.

Its like the NHL just met the XFL.
How can they break such a traditional game just to boost a fan base.

All there doin is pleasin those who dont care about the game.
And shittin on the fans that have always been there.....

This is 10x worste than that Laser Puck shit fox tried 5 yrs ago.
WTF.

The Columbus Blue Jackets will be as good as the Red Wings. <-- good thing
No more Red Line. <--is alright....but dont really like it
5 minutes of overtime, then a shoot out. <--don't like that
Smaller pads for Goalies. <-- is good cuz the shit is jus gettin bigger
and the nets moved 2 feet back. <-- they're movin em back to where they used to be...the moved the nets ahead just a few years ago but the experiment didnt work obviously

and you forgot two important ones...they gunna have tag-up offsides and i'm pretty sure they're gunna have no-touch icings...which are both good in my opinion.....

so i like most of the changes but there are still a shitload of changes that were made that no one cares about

fuck, i missed hockey last year, so im jus glad it's back

P.S. - what is your favorite team????????

if u were wondering:

1. the red line will still be there, just wont be a play stoppage for 2 line passes

2. the shootout is only gunna be the regular season

3. there wont be a lot of goalie injuries, they had more than enough gear to protect themselves, look at the old goalie gear....it's so that there will be more scoring

Yeh, I agree....NHL is ass....but I also disagree with the fact that it was ever good.
Gay shit, I was loving Sportscenter during November-January. Football and Basketball only, now it's just corny baseball here, and NHL is coming back.

The common view of americans who watch the game want more action... meaning more goal scoring... the game will only increase in action without the redline... (no 2 line pass).... the competativeness of the teams will greatly increase due to this agreement, giving teams the ability to have actual good players on their rosters..... instead of having a complete powerhouse team because they got the money...... I agree with you about ruining the game.. actual hockey fans know that a 0 - 0 game is much more interesting than a 12-0 or 12 - 11 game....
