:happy: :happy: :happy: NHL is back

I know some here don't like hockey, but I love it and this past winter was painful without it!!!
Hopefully with the cap, the Bruins will be able to compete for the cup instead of having to watch Colorado, Detriot,New Jersey and a few other teams who spend all the money necessary to win it all!!!
Plus with the state the game is in now, the teams will be bending over backwards to bring back the fans, as in lower ticket prices so the average fan can afford to take their family to games like how I got to go see Bobby Orr and the rest of the big bad bruins lots of times when I was a kid!!! :buds: :buds:

just wish that they'd cut down instead of increase # of playoff teams. i like the rule changes( except goalie gear ). playoff hockey is most intense!

what are the new rule changes?

no red line, smaller goalie pads, shootout at end of 1st overtime, and more fighting :laughs: (just kidding on that one)

my god, they're gonna turn it into roller hockey :tm:

I'm all for smaller pads. More fightingwill definately bring the fans back :D
Old school hockey :musc:

anybody remember how tough jay miller was? he and john kordic- epic.

no red line, ......so they are eliminating icing and two-line passes......???

That will just make it more exiting. No red line means more breakaways and goals. Icing will probably be at the blue line. To many ties in the regular season with the first overtime rule.

Miller, Byers and one of my favorites, Stan Jonathan. Couldn't have been more than 5'9" and would absolutely light up guys that went 6'2" :hihi:

b's drafted a kid named wacey rabbit- with a name like that he can't miss.

No more red line means no more trap, NJ Devils, most boring style of play ever. Just about killed the game for me. About time. Open up game. Need to make rink bigger too. Guys are too damned big now and more space is needed. Too many teams. Go back to the original six. Old time hockey. Paul

This will be the first time the original six don't play regular season games, no Blackhawks or Red Wings on the B's schedule.
Sports on TV are my reality shows, so I'm psyched they're back on.
Go Bruins!!!
