Eklund: NHL Rule Changes: Like or Dislike? Be Heard. Vote

Dislike: Get rid of the trapazoid. What's next? Europian sized ice surfaces?

Like: Not allowing them to not change the faceoff man. Taking away the placeholder winger, to buy time, is long overdue.

I really don't like if a team causes puck to go out of play in offensive zone, the puck stays in same zone. if it's your fault that the puck went out of play, it should benefit the defensive team and move face-off to neutral zone. However, i did play goalie, so my opinion might be a little biased. and I've been saying that spin o rama should have been illegal forever.

Penalizing diving with fines will have the Sedin sisters crying poor by the end of the year.

Hopefully the expansion of replay, reviews ALL pucks that hit the netting that protects the puck from going out of bounds (LAvDET)... Absolutely BS of a non call that clearly showed puck hitting off net and into the goal, it's almost laughable.
Actually, it is laughable

Like the changes for the most part but the fines for diving don't go far enough. They need to add a zero to make it worth more than a cup of coffee to these guys.

Rule 85 – Puck Out of Bounds

There have been further rule changes made relating to face-off location to
avoid penalizing teams for plays intended to create bona fide scoring
opportunities. Specifically, the following are "categories of plays” where
face-offs will remain in the attacking zone despite the fact that the
attacking team was technically responsible for the stoppage in play: Shots
at the net by a player on the attacking team where: (i) the shot breaks
the glass; (ii) the shot goes off the side of the net and deflects out of
play; (iii) the shot goes off the dasher boards or glass and deflects out
of play; (iv) the shot is tipped or deflected out of play by a teammate;
and (v) the shot becomes wedged in or on the exterior of the goal net.

Well, that's sort of a big deal...

That's going to be tough to judge in my opinion.

And if it helps the team win, the organization will gladly pay the fine under the table.

Getting rid of the trapezoid and widening the ice surface would both be good things. There would be more offense in both situations IMO.

So every arena will need to be reconstructed? Sounds like a plan.

That's going to be tough to judge in my opinion.

I don't understand.

If there is a shot at the net and it is tipped over the glass, the faceoff will now stay in the offensive zone regardless of who tipped it.

What is going to be tough about that?

Yes.

Can we keep the spin-o-rama and ban the shootout instead @NHL ?

Don't like the new diving fines?
