That's what every team does.

It was more empty than normal. And that was due to the snow.

- Wetbandit1



Many of the games are empty, snow or no snow.

The game against Ottawa on tuesday had easily 7,000 empty seats.
Same with the Detroit game ealier this year.

The support isn't here. Losing has taken its toll

Reducing the goalie equipment to what it was even 10 years ago would increase scoring

You mean play 4 on 4 all the time?

Definitely

(frank) 3 on 3. It's stupid.

I might be the only one who loved the 8 games in the division for those 2? years.

Would be nice.

Yep.

Meh.

Nope, me too Divisions are mostly meaningless now in terms of rivalries. We play Pittsburgh 4 times a year and Toronto 5? It's dumb. Go back to segregating the conferences, please. I don't need to see Colorado twice a year, I'd way rather see Ottawa 8 times in a grudge match scenario

Didn't say he couldn't. Just kind of funny to see him there, not that I was there either.

He allegedly had one beer and then muttered something about not being a good idea to be there and left allegedly

Lol @ good strip club

More like death row for adult dancers

Well, if Bogo was at a peeler bar in Buffalo, there's a good chance he ended up pulling something else beside his groin muscle...

(frank) every single one of you who even enjoyed TFA or TLJ, you killed Star Wars in a way George Lucas couln't have done on his worst day, btw, his worst day: When he "Sold his baby to white slavers".

He actually said that after the Disney sale.

I liked the 8 division games, but I would have to think with the division structure, which was different back then, the best you could do is 6. Four is too few.

4v4 hockey is a joke
Goalie equipment definitely shouldn't ever get bigger at this point
3v3 OT is a joke
I think every team should play in every building at least once per season
Interference happens almost every single dump-in, but agree, they call it and it stops
Instigator penalty was always a joke
2 icings in a row by the same line should 100% be a 2-minute delay of game minor

I'll take it one step further:

No free icing on a penalty kill -or- make a penalty be full duration.
Eliminate the trapezoid
If the puck hits the netting, it stays in play
No high-sticking whistle
Push the blue lines closer to center-ice, expanding offensive zone space (solves the issue of NHL sized rink, IMO)
Any kind of hook or slash from behind to a player un-evaded to the goalie results in a penalty shot
Shootout goals count toward season totals


off the top of my head.
