Wow. Those Blues jerseys are absolutely putrid. I guess they would have to be that big of a no-brainer for Keenan to make the right decision.

potential rule changes

Quote:

Wednesday August 18 (all times ET; subject to change)

10:00 a.m. – Noon
* Hybrid icing rule;
* No line change for team committing an offside;
* Crease reset rule;
* Face-off variation (face-off controlled by whistle in place of traditional puck drop);
* Overtime: three minutes of 4-on-4; three minutes of 3-on-3; three minutes of 2-on- 2 followed by shootout (5 players per team).

2:30 p.m. - 4:30 p.m.
* Bigger crease;
* Verification goal line (additional line situated behind the goal line);
* Wider blue lines;
* Line changes zone in front of each bench;
* Face-off variations (infringement results in the offending player moving back further, three face-off dots down the middle of the ice);
* No icing the puck while shorthanded;
* OT – three minutes of 4-on-4; three minutes of 3-on-3; three minutes of 2-on-2 with long line changes; followed by three shooters per team shootout (if tied after three shots then players who have shot previously can shoot again).

Thursday August 19 (all times ET; subject to change)

9:30 a.m. - 11:30 a.m.
* No touch icing;
* Team that commits an offside infraction cannot make a line change and face-off is in offending team zone;
* Face-off variation: after a face-off violation, opposition center may choose his face-off opponent;
* Second referee located off the playing surface;
* Delayed penalty rule
* No icing the puck while shorthanded;
* OT – 4-on-4 (with long line change) followed by a shootout with five players.

1:30 p.m. - 3:00 p.m.
* Variations of special teams play;
* OT – 4-on-4 (with long line change).

No iceing the puck while shorthanded and no line changes for the team who commited a offside is a joke. Those will never pass.

lol zomg sedins on a 2v2 overtime

I barely notice the refs on the ice now, but another one might crowd the rink.

The potential rule states that the second ref will be OFF the ice.

Also, I agree that the "no icing while shorthanded" rule is ridiculous....

lol these rules kind of suck...

haha 2 on 2 hockey. I'll like to see that actually, just because it would be so comical.

Who comes up with these ridiculous suggestions - Bettman? :p

Gm probably. Not just bettman

I don't know about the 2 on 2 OT session, lol. Stick with 4 on 4, 3 on 3 maybe.

PK will be hard to do when you can't ice the puck to get it outta you're own end.

:rofl: @ 2vs2 OT

:lol

seems like they want more goal prodution... LOL

Or maybe they just want less penalties? I'm actually all for anything that will endorse less penalties.

Selanne is coming back. Says he's talked to Kariya about playing together lol.

Gerber to EDM.

Both per TSN.

Are they going to air it on TSN and call it "The Decision"??:rolleyes:

As for the rules they are going to test out...I'm a bit of a traditionalist and don't want to see too many changes. No touch icing though I like.

With some of the new changes they are testing, it seems the focus is to quicken the game up so the game watches well on tv, if that makes sense.

No touch icing should reduce concussions. I'm all for that.

if there is such a thing as a shootout, why even bother changing 4 on 4 format

I could see 3 on 3, but 2 on 2 is just stupid.

Datsyuk would rape face in a 2 on 2 situation... Steal the puck and go!

lol Sedins would rape

The fastest players in the league would own.

No.

2 on 2 is practically a shoot out because defense would be practically be nil; meaning that if the Sedins miss their shot, will result in an offensive break for the other team, and the chances will just trade.
