... pretty strong, his positioning helps make up for his lack of top-end speed, while strong face-off abilities never hurt. He scores a lot of goals 2-6 FEET around the net, sometimes on top of the goalie. He gets his shots off quick. One thing I dislike about his game is a tendency to hog the puck whe...

James Tanner: Thoughts on New Rule Changes

September 13, 2014 - 12:58 PM ET

... So what went down yesterday? I'm just gonna take these directly off NHL.Com and then offer my analysis. Rule 1.8 - Trapezoid extended by 2 FEET on both sides. The much maligned trapezoid gets four FEET bigger and I think this is a good thing. The trapezoid was meant to prevent goalies...

On the first two Carolina goals, the Buffalo D failed to chip pucks out of their zone. This led to extended zone time for the Cane sa...
