Ive said it before, and I'll say it again, if I wanted to watch end to end rushes, I'd go watch basketball. The only thing hockey needs to open up the game, without adding endless coast-to-coasters, is to make the refs accountable for their shitty calls (or no calls). If you removed the cluching, grabbing, hooking, and interference from the game by actually calling those penalties, and not just ignore them on a whim, flow would return to the game, and offenses would explode. Its all just proper use of the existing rules.
