I've taken to not watching much anymore either guccilvr, it really is ruining the game, almost turning it into a basketball on ice with the way hitting and contact in general is so taboo.
Back in the day you used to be able to get a guys number who gave you a cheap shot and get him back with a good solid hit, nowadays I wouldn't recommend doing that.
The other things I don't get is this tossing the head back when a stick or a body part comes near your face, jesus the way they're doing it this year it's like a big ass fan is pushing their heads backwards.
Then there's the hooking penalties for lifting a guys stick, now how the hell are you supposed to get the puck away from the guy if you can't lift his stick? When I played defense that was a huge part of it, now you lift the guys stick when he has the puck and you're looking at 2 for hooking.
Also slashing calls just because those piece of shit composite sticks break like twigs, I've seen one break from a one handed tap and the poor guy got a slashing call.
Jesus the NHL sure has to get it's shit together, and I really have to stop ranting about how shitty this 'new NHL' is, give me the old NHL any day against this pussy watered down league. That's another thing, the watered down talent in the league, but I'll save that for another day.
