bunomatic Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 Simply remove all coaches but the head coach. Change nothing on the ice. This game is overcoached. Get rid of the stinkin defensive specialists. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfreeman Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 I just worry creating forbidden zones on the ice will a) reduce the flow/skating in the game and b) clutter up the ice with markings making the playing surface resemble a European League jersey covered in ads. Hockey isn't like other sports in that it is played on ice and doesn't lend itself well to stopping and starting/quick change of direction. forbidden zones are easier in basketball/lacrosse/etc. because the players are on foot. Maybe more like a 3-second rule? Or a prohibition on blocking shots unless the shotblocker is lying prone on the ice -- i.e. not crouching and facing the shooter like another goalie (which they all seem to do now)? I certainly can't say for sure what would work -- but I really think they need to do something significant. Right now good defense beats good offense, and that is the wrong outcome.

That Aud Smell Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 JFC. Be well, Bill Hajt Jr. I saw on Twitter that he was mostly alert with apparently normal vitals while en route to the hospital. But, man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
