No red line, shootouts

[GeoffM]

Yes my friends, hockey is about to get really, really gay.

No red line is a good thing. Nothing was more boring in hockey than watching the Devils clutch, grab and trap their way to the Stanley Cup.

Shootouts are gay, but no red line is a great thing for the game.

Yes, but now instead of having Kovalchuk partially backcheck, score 40 goals and be -40, you'll see him not backcheck, score 70 and be -80.

Penguinfan, 2 picks left, you nervous?

[Penguinfan]

Nothing to be nervous about now!!!!

Wonder who we'll take?

Kova and Heatley always had -40 +/- because the team they play on sucks so bad and they play no defense.

The new rules will bring new fans into the game and thats what they want.
