With this many teams in the NHL, they employ a vast majority of players thatdon't deserve to be there, the league is wattered down talent wise, the majority of the 3rd and 4th line players would be lucky to get an ECHL contract let alone and NHL one. I have played the game for 22 of my 26 years and have played all over Ontario and Quebec and even in the USA. Hockey has been in a steep decline since the instigator rule came in and now tough guys don't know if they should protect their players or get kicked out of the game.
As for taking away the redline, can you imagine how many candyassed NHLer's would sit in the neutral zone and wait for the puck because they are afraid to hit. I believe they are called cheerypickers
The NHL wants to expand the neutral zone by 2 feet and the easiest solution is to move the net's back 2 feet where they were before and all is solved.
Refferee's need to be held responsible for missed calls fines or something must be given out. I hate Roenick but now respect the shit out of him for doing what he did. About 11 years ago that ref Angus gave me a shitty holding penalty and i shot the puck at him got him in the shins, i got suspended but hey it shows he's always been a shitty ref.
Just wanted to put in my 2 cents thanks
