Get rid of icing and offsides and goto an indoor soccer 3 line rule (can't pass across 3 lines). It would open up the ice more. Players could get behind the defense for a "long ball" strategy. Realistically I'd say reduce the goalie pads, especially chest/shoulder. They look obese with the pads on. Without them they're skinny as a twig. Most of the pads are protecting air.

I'm watching, Malkin and Ovechkin on the same line looks dangerous.

I went to Duff's for the first time when I was in Buffalo last year, and the wings were delicious. Also, I'm curious, is Fried Bologna a thing outside of Buffalo? I've never seen it anywhere else.

haha, well, I played my first rec league game last night, and fortunately didn't get my helmet stuck to anyone's. I had a blast, it was a pretty close game, some of my friends came out to watch me (one was a former employee of the ice rink and wanted to see his old buddies). I notched an assist late in the third period that tied the game 1 - 1, but shortly after my shift we gave up another goal (about 2 minutes left). I think my new team liked what I was doing out there as they threw me out as the 6th attacker when we pulled the goalie. We came close to tying the game up again, but the other team got the puck out of the zone and scored an empty netter with a few seconds left. I'm excited for next week.

I've got my first league game next monday. I've gone to lots of stick time's and a few drop in games. Finally felt I was ready to sign up for a league.

Yeah, my Bauers have a quick release trigger thing on them to take the blades off, maybe that has something to do with it.

I just saw this thread and was trying to figure out why everyone was calling it clickbait.

I work in robotics, that's about all I can say.

Right, but "the field" can't win, an individual team wins and every team is outnumbered by the field. Out of all those teams, the sabres had the best odds.

I say wear 1 if it's not reserved for goalies.

Whoops, yeah, you're right.

You're allowed to hand pass in your own zone, and he didn't touch the puck.

Montreal scored on themselves, haha

I like a goalie that doesn't take from anyone

That's crazy, I ran it a 100 times and the Sabres won it 20 times!

I retired the Sabrepede if you want to use it... :P

C'mon guys this hockey game is serious business.

And Linbock.

I feel like they're mispronouncing everyone's names on purpose tonight.

That was the best powerplay I've seen all season.

I honestly don't understand how you people are complaining about Lindback over Hackett. Who effing cares?! They're both scrubs.

I played my first pick up game last Friday. I had a blast, I felt like the worst one there. I spun out and ate a few times, but I made a few good plays here and there.

Since when does Nolan change goalies?

I'm glad my work isn't that strict.
