Hockey Anyone?

As a former Zamboni Driver, I am quite pleased that we will have a hockey season next year!

Hockey?

Is that the game where you hit a duck with wooden sticks, or something like that?

Just wait- they'll screw it up yet. You'll see.

Stephen · Jul 13, 2005, 9:54 PM

See, I never missed it. College hockey is WAY better anyhow.

Good. Our team needed it though. No-one knew how to play cuz usually watching hockey on TV is like a second coaching technique.

I love to watch the pro game. I'm glad its back. I usually only have time to catch a periord of a game a night, but I missed it. I think they put in some new rules to open the game up a bit. Who has the scoop?

One change is the size of the equipment goalies will wear, it will be smaller. Companies are already making the new equipment.

Most goalies are taking the change in stride, but some are reluctant.

Also the 2005 draft, although a bit weighted for some teams, ALL teams will have at least one 'ping-pong" ball for the lottery. This means the Bruins could get Sidney Crosby.

here's more.

I firmly believe they (NHL) must remove the red line to increase scoring. That has yet to be determined.

....and there was much rejoicing. Yaaaayyyyyy.

This is sweet. At least it will be if:
1) The the stupid Jacobs family (owners of the Boston Bruins) takes the gift the league gave them in the form of a salary cap and uses it to put together a competetive team.
2) Stupid family from #1 uses the savings to lower ticket prices so that I can actually afford to go to a game more than once every 5 years.

It sure will be interesting to see who ends up on which team when all of this is done.

Hoooray hockey!

Nothing makes me more happy than watching the Bruins suffer year after year after year says this loyal Habs fan!!!

I missed it terribly! Especially Playoff time.
I've read they want to add an extra round to the playoffs like the AHL has. I think it's stupid. Keep the 16 team playoff format. One of the gripes about hockey was that too many teams make it to the playoff anyways. The Red Line does have to go. I don't like to see ties but I'd rather they just settle it like they do in the playoffs, Sudden Death. Why change the rules of the game just for the playoffs? Baseball does not, football either.

I never could figure out that quote thing.
