CRASHER Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 MORE GAMES??? unbelievable!!!! We need less games... not 84 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devilsfan26 Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 If discussing the possibility of more games means no discussion of other idiotic rules that affect the way the game is played (such as the trapezoid rule) then I am all for it.

SatansDevils Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Do not need 84 games in a season. Too many now with 82. I would like to see the season go to 72-74 games a season. The playoffs would be sooner instead of having the SCF in June. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devil Fan Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 I think the 84 game schedule is brought up by Detroit initially so that the entire league's revenue will increase, which increase the salary cap proportionally. That, I am afraid will be happened because the big market teams such as the Rags and Leafs would love to see the cash registers full. The outdoor games certainly will drive the revenue up as well and the trend will continue as we will see more and more outdoor games.

metallidevils Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 not a bash of any of you guys, but its somewhat unbelievable to me that a fan would actually sit and discuss whether switching from 82-84 games is good or bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RowdyFan42 Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 According to the beat writer for the Canes, there's one other significant rule change that the CBC article didn't mention: DEATH TO THE "DISTINCT KICKING MOTION"!!!! http://blogs.newsobserver.com/canes/index....p;tb=1&pb=1 As long as the player's skate remains on the ice, he can turn his skate or even slide his skate to redirect the puck. That guideline replaces the "distinct kicking motion" previously used for rulings.[...] That change is immediate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevilNurn Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Wow...is that really true? Did they really get rid of distinct kicking motion? That would be amazing... A few months ago I elected to read the actual rule. It says in a "pendulum-like manner". Now, seriously, would you say some of the goals were not at all pendulums? I think so. If that's true, I'd love to see the rules eliminated, why not be able to use your skate like a stick, you're allowed to do it when a goal isn't scored, and a goalie can use a skate to save a puck, so why is it any different?

Well with that logic you would be allowed to knock loose pucks into the net with your hand too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
