Expect to see a lot of "dump it in the corner, chase it, turn it over, watch it get dumped in the corner again" Maybe I'm crazy, but I prefer to see guys carry the puck and attempt passes. The new rules aren't conducive to that. All it means is that you wind up with less offensive pressure.

I don't really think it will do much for alleviating the trap at the NHL level. A good obstruction/interference crackdown will though. The biggest effect of the two line pass rule is that the defence will bail on the offensive blue line even faster than they already do.

I think it will open it up a lot. RM Greg,

That rule is crap. I'm willing to give the shootout a try, though. I like the rules that keep the tired players on the ice, though, and the rule change to hand out a penalty to anyone putting the puck over the boards in their own end. If nothing else, at least they are trying to improve the game, finally. They've been kicking around a lot of these ideas for years and never done anything about them. And good on Shanahan for getting the competition committee in place. Other than the salary cap, it's the best thing to come from the new CBA. I agree with you on the goaltender handling the puck.

The chnages they had been looking at for that were just horrid. I’m just glad they didn’t change the size (or most importantly shape) of the net at all.
