Burke on a mission to increase size of NHL ice surfaces

Burke has no appetite for the larger international ice surface measuring 200 feet long and 100 feet wide, 15 feet wider than the NHL standard of 200 x 85.

Too big, he said.

He's not even convinced the so-called international hybrid (92 to 94 feet wide) used in some rinks in Finland is necessarily the way to go.

"Ninety feet," Burke said. "An extra five feet on the width, that's it. I believe it would make a big difference in the quality of hockey."

Those dimensions currently exist in a number of college rinks in the United States, most notably at Boston University's state-of-the-art Agganis Arena, where many NHL teams practise when in Boston.

Can't say I have a big issue with the ice surface size right now, but it always looks oddly small when I'm watching the game live, but I'm just a pleb that can only watch Leafs games in the upper bowl.

Good luck convincing owners to remove the first row of seats for more ice.

I find international ice makes the game slower and forces defense to play zone more instead of chasing. I wouldn't be against a slight increase, but people have to remember that Olympic/World Junior hockey is as good as it is because of the talent on the ice, not because the rink is bigger.

I need more fighting games on Steam.

I wish Marvel vs Capcom Origins was on PC. :(

Me too. I spent so many of my teenage years playing Marvel Super Hero's and Marvel vs. Capcom.

I could never keep up with the MVC sequels though. They got too crazy for me.

WB dropping a big old 'fuck you' turd on MK X PC players today won't help much.

KI Season 3 will help for PC fighting games

SF5 will REALLY help PC fighting games on Steam, especially if that Steam Workshop rumor is true.

Third Strike Online being on Steam would be FAN.Tastic.
