Ya, keep it but send the linemen back to "Hybrid Icing 101", classes. Knowledge doesn't seem to be retained if you wear stripes.Hockey Widow wrote: ↑Mon Nov 12, 2018 10:49 pmOh hell, never thought of that. Ok, I like the hybrid. Keep it the way it is.Per wrote: ↑Mon Nov 12, 2018 10:13 pmI basically agree, but then Petey can't make that bank pass to Boeser....Hockey Widow wrote: ↑Mon Nov 12, 2018 6:18 pm They really need to get rid of the hybrid icing and go to automatic icing. Some of these calls are stupid. I’m talking the one just called against the Rangers.
To further; We have hybrid icing. We have much more severe penalties for hitting from behind. Can't speak for everybody but I find
fighting for the puck scrambles behind the net, boring. Goalies don't go back there much anyways and really good players, like Gretzky, etc,
could flip the puck over the net and do wraparounds in prehistoric days:
What I am saying is it's time to restore the rink to the old format which would, hence, restore the neutral zone back to it's full length.
A faster, more entertaining game that rewards good skaters would emerge and trapping would be much harder and less effective.
Lose the trapazoids too.
This game was unfortunate. I hope it doesn't break their spirit, could've gone the other way just as easy.
Tomorrow will be similar except we'll be a little less spunky, if you believe that consecutive game shit.
