New League Rules

[Rumple Foreskin]

Its starting to get ridiculous how many penalties are being called every game. It seems there are atleast a combined total of 14 penalties called each game. I think the league is cracking down too much and they need to just let them play.

Im glad they are cracking down on certain penalties that prevent injuries, but enough of the obstruction hooking, obstruction holding, obstruction bull****. Just let them play allready. Once again the referee's seem to be determining who wins and who doesnt.



(btw, the leafs are gonna kick the habs ass tonight )

Ya maybe some of the rules have gone a bit to far but i dont think it will hurt the game oo much. What do you think aboutj them putting netting in all the rinks, i guess they had no choice about since that girl died.:darkside:

 

[Rumple Foreskin]

The netting is fine. i think they were kinda behind the times on that one. Anyone can prolly figure out that a hard rubber puck going at 100mph+ can hurt you. I think some of the calls happening this year are crazy.

I think if anything, they've helped the game this season. I was really getting sick of 2-1, 1-1, 1-0 games. I'm glad to see 6-2, 5-4, high scoring games like that. And it's also let Mario get his game going. The new rules are benefitting the great players.

The new rules are making too many power plays. Its no fun watching your team get 8 or 9 penalties every game. Its benifiting the goal scorers, but making the game more difficult for the defencemen and the goaltenders. If you look league attendance overall has dropped and people are not as interested now as they were before. Sure people are more interested in hiogher scores, but no one likes to see a game that has 5 out of 7 goals scored all done on man advantages

 

[Saleen Man]

True, probably too many penalties. But I think what the league is trying to do is too call a lot of penalties now, in hopes of stopping most clutching, grabbing, slashing etc. and really open up the game more. That way we could see high scoring games without all the powerplays.

But i believe that this is all going to be in vain. you will never stop all that, i dont care how many penalties you call,t hats just part of the game. The rules suck and should be revised or rather re-thought again
