November 15, 201510 yr A wider International sized rink would help as well. Being honest here, but dump and chase hockey and the neutral zone trap is killing the watchibilty of the game for me. Maybe eliminating the offsides rule would help as well. "Things are funny...are comedic, because they mix the real with the absurd." - Buzz Aldrin."P-O-T-A-T-O-E" - Dan Quayle
November 15, 201510 yr "Penguins are looking pretty ugly since the Kessel acquisition. " Nonsense. Theya re 10-7 and had a good streak. And, looking much better than his former team. They'll be alright. Leafs not so much. how the leafs are doing is irrelevant, i wasn't saying kessel made a bad decision by approving a trade to pitt, he's obviously better off there. and LOL if you thjink that a team with crosby, malkin, kessel, letang should have less goals 1/4 of the way through the season than the Devils, Blue Jackets, and because you brought them up, the MAPLE LEAFS just LOL.

How do you guys feel about them potentially making the nets bigger? I can't get behind that.
November 15, 201510 yr 3vs 3 should be reserved for pond practice hockey not real NHL hockey. What a joke. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.
November 17, 201510 yr 3vs 3 should be reserved for pond practice hockey not real NHL hockey. What a joke. ties will never come back and 3v3 > shootout
November 17, 201510 yr Author 3v3 in OT is ok. I didn't like it at first but it is growing on me. I'd rather see the rink size increased rather than the net. That increases the angles on the net and makes the goalie's job harder without increasing the size of the target plus it opens up more possibilities for strategies and offense which makes the game more exciting IMO. Scoring goals is all fine but the best part of hockey IMO is the 20 seconds before the puck hit's the net. The set up and execution of a perfect one timer is exciting to see. That the goals happened is just the conclusion of the story rather than the story itself. BTW the Cats swept a home and home vs the Lightning. Ekbald buried one with 20 seconds left to win 1-0. I caught the game on the radio and Doug Plagens (the pbp guy) was out of breath at the end of that one. Luongo earned his pay stopping 39 shots without a lot of help in front of him.

November 17, 201510 yr Penguins are looking pretty ugly since the Kessel acquisition. Thanks for picking up that fat bastard from us! haha come on, you know I'm a Devils fan. I would have loved to have Kessel on this team though. Hynes' whole system is built on speed. Kessel would be a monster.
November 30, 201510 yr 3/4 points for the Devils in the home and home series against the best team in hockey. not bad.
December 20, 201510 yr Author Almost to the half way point, 33 games in and the Cats are 17-12-4, just 5 points out of first. But the best part is they are just a fun team to watch.

April 17, 20169 yr So the Sharks are up 2-0, which of course is part of their plan to emotionally crush me. can't be as bad as the decade o' emotional crushing the sharks visited 'pon their fans from 2001-2011. am suspecting only a 1990s buffalo bills fan could understand that kinda pain.

April 23, 20169 yr Author Panthers lost game 5 last night in the 2nd OT. Just heartbreaking. The Islanders goalie Gasse must be made out of rubber or something. But every bounce seems to just go against us. Just bad luck. Game six tomorrow night.

May 13, 20169 yr Whoa, Sharks versus Blues. Which one will overcome the cycle of underwhelming playoff performances?
