  1. Does anyone else have to watch the terrible Rangers feed. They do player spotlight every time Fox is on the ice and shrink the game to less than half the screen to show Fox skate around on a super close up. It could be the absolute worst graphic in the history of sports.
  2. Penguins have the worst logo in all pro sports. 3/4 of their jersey variations are god awful. Their best jerseys (light blues) don’t have either the logo or the team colors.
  3. There are no more Claude Lemieux's. A player that brought it mostly during play. Now we have idiots like Kesler, Kadri, and Marchard who are only tough after the whistle when they can just skate to the bench. The NFL would be better if the players got to fight and cheap shot each other?
  4. That's exactly the point. Why do you need to let off steam at all. Take it out on the puck. Skate harder. Why take out frustration on the other team illegally. If someone gets tagged out in a baseball game, is it ok for them to attack the catcher because he is wearing protective gear? I don't understand why when you use this circumstance in all other sports is sounds completely ridiculous but in hockey it is OK.
  5. All ages. The NHL stuff seems completely unnecessary as the newer players are programmed not to respond, because the retaliation draws the only penalty. The kids really irk me. My child plays peewee level now. Here you get your talented driven players that just play the game Then many of the ones not at that level seem to give up trying between whistles and just goon it up after, as seen on TV.
  6. All contact after the whistle should be a penalty. I can't stand watching the goon stuff that goes on after the play. It really bothers me when I see it at a youth level.
  7. There is ways to protect this. However this brings up another point for. If players are scared of getting hit in the grill, they will either find new ways to block shots instead of throwing themselves all over the ice. It would be necessary for the d to approach closer to the puck for the body block. This would open up more space down low for creativity and also keep the defensive wingers out into quick offensive positions. And once again you will have to be brave to go to the front of the net. look at the space and chaos Zhitnik would create.
  8. I will always be in favor for taller nets. The net does not to be larger in any other way. A taller net takes up no more ice space. Goalies are already pretty much maximum size, so this only needs to be a one time adjustment. A taller net would force goalies to play on their feet more often. Goalies now can just back up into the net on their knees and pretty much take up from ice to top bar. With the adjusted net now if a goalie goes down too early the top will be mostly open especially from farther distances.
  9. I can not believe we could not get more. The Caps are a very good team and will continue to be. That third rounder is going to most likely be a bottom 5 pick. Pick 110-120. Can you even expect to get an NHL player out of that? I love Mike Weber's game. I like him as a Sabre, but if this team is serious then he needed to move on for something. If only the word "conditional" was in there somehow, it would make this more interesting.
  10. Any goalie other than Lunqvuist and Price
  11. Add another Otter to the roster. Varone, Baptiste, ROR. and past gems Connolly, Boyes, Montador
  12. The problem with scoring especially in the playoffs is that teams play too defensive of a style. Instead going out and taking control of the game with offensive pressure, the league strategy is to now just wait for the other team to make a mistake. That's why a 2-0 lead in a game is the un-safest. The losing team now has to go balls out to win. Until we get exciting offensive players to go out and outscore the other team, instead of being the world's best back-checkers, the size of the net or equipment doesn't matter.
