The new NHL ... awesome improvement in offensive gameplay
 

The players are slowly catching up on the new rules ... another 2 months and the gameplay will be perfectly adapted ...

Tons of offensive plays ... I'm watching the Canadians Vs Senators game right now and it's just awesome. 2 of the fastest NHL teams playing agaisn't each other ... back to back to back ;)

i just need ottawa to win tonight and do it over 6.5 goals and i will be a very happy camper.

Heh ... good luck ... they are loosing :( If they win, the 6.5 goal part will be done no problems since they need 2 more to win.

they will win, but i'am getting fucked cause Phili is losing now and i need them to win.

Philli just won didn't they ?

Theo owe you money ... he just stole the fucking game ... incredible

You got it ... What a fucking game ... Spetza just made up for Theo's big save ...

This was seriously one of the best game I've ever seen ... since Brodeur won the Stanly Cup agaisn't the wings

thank god for spezza, all 8 games i bet on, won.. Shit Yeah, I can stop sweating now.

Flyers came back, Forsberg missed a penalty shot. Hell of a game

Let's all thank Zednick for 2 nice pass on 4 of Ottawa's goal...

I liked hime better when he was injured...

i can't believe how much better the hockey is now - idiots should have done this 10 years ago. i couldnt watch hockey - think i watched 2 games season before last - now i am watching again.

the only people whining about the new hockey are dinosaurs and those who dont have the skills to play the game the right way.

ROFL ... on the other side ... he participated offensively. Give him some time to catch up he missed almost 10 games

They are the team with the big players ... things will change ... small players will do better ;)

Mr Crosby got a bright future in the leage ;)

With tonite's points, he ranks 4th in the nhl for total points ... 1 point away from the 3 leaders. Not too bad for a 18 years old rookie

I know hehe i'm just pissed.... :winkwink:


still all of his passes were fucking weaaaaak and soft...I think he's just not used to the new NHL....the game is much faster now...

yep - there is a generation of small skilled players who never had a shot at the NHL or even junior hockey because by the time they reached midget hockey they were already being forced out by big unskilled power forwards.

it's up to the NHL to make sure these rules keep being applied - because it could easily slip back into the crap it was before. coaches are whining, players are bitching - but the fans who pay their fat checks are loving it and that's what counts.

Spezza was a complete bumbling idiot all game, but redeemed himself with the game winning goal..

NHL center ice package was my best investment haha

damn it..I keep seeing the replay over and over....fucking nice goal from Spezza...as much as I hate to admit it ....

My blood runs red with Detroit!

The channel made a pool about the way refferes apply rules ... 90 % of the people said it was perfect that way, and 10 % bitched. Pretty much sums it up

lol ;) The save from Theo just before that ... was even more impressive if you ask me ... what a fucking great save.

Not gonna happen this year ;) Get over it ! lol

That was one of the most amazing goals I've seen all year... I get to see a bunch of nice goals being in DC and getting to watch Alex Ovechkin's games... he's amazing.

word!..what a fucking save..LOL

It was pretty much a guaranteed goal...

The pens vs atlanta was a shootout

The moves he made were slick! :pimp

hey now..they're old...but they're slow :winkwink:

;) They are just weak ...

Glad to hear that they have been improving. Good luck!

The Ducks seem to be dominant in 5-on-5 hockey :pimp

Now if they can only get their special teams rolling...and Fedorov playing.....wooooo

wings are 10-1, so far you cant really say their old and slow

NEW rules? I was still learning the old ones. I give up on watching football.

Weak?? The red wings??? Damn we havent been looking at the same stats LOL

Ahhh...now I understand...Canada. That explains it.

I love hockey and it seems that these new rules have really sped up the game. Seems like there used to be so many stoppages for two line passes and icing and stuff that just stalls the game. I'm love'n this new way.

The new rules kick ass.. The game is at a much better pace now and the action is more non-stop... The older guys do not know how to deal with it esp after taking a year off then coming back to a game that WAY faster then they knew for the last 10 yrs..

Me too, I love watching those exciting fights between the players. The rules are now too tight and games are really exciting. :thumbsup

these penalties are a fucking joke.. the game has become more of a newbie fan thing and a money maker than a rough sport like it used to be..

I'm all for the removal of the center line, the goalies pads being smaller and the bigger zones.

But the shootouts and the penalties are fucking pathetic!

huh? You are kidding right???

Newbie fan thing?? No way! The quality of the hockey played is actually much better now! Any real hockey fan is happy with these new rules! And I'm definitly no "newbie fan" LOL
