Yes to the bolded. No to bigger nets.
If the Cold War taught the world anything, Europeans are born leaders.

NHL just needs to go back to no tolerance when it comes to penalties.
Or maybe make the neutral zone smaller.

Good Luck Lightning GAF. Should be a fun one tonight.
All you have to do is forecheck, and hope the Pacioretty doesn't get a breakaway, that's it.
Hehe

Make all minor penalties 4 mins. Fighting and other majors get you ejected.

41 > 38
What is a "coyotes?"
it's not fair
even after we scored like 5 goals over a month period, the habs still haven't outscored the leafs
the 3rd place overall team has less goals than than the 27th
caaareeeeeeeeeey
Plinko alt!
That sounds like a bunch of euro commie stuff

what's even crazier?
they have the exact same Sh% = 7.8% (which is about league average)
the column on the right is their Sv% (this is at 5v5 btw)

Man we would be in the bottom Spot and on the hunt for McDavid if it wasn't for Price.

Everyone's gotta wear visors...safety!
Safety is for pussies.
I drive with my seatbelt off and doors wide open. Anyone who honks or swerves out of the way are just jealous of my freedom.
Fuck.

Hockey players are bigger, faster, and more talented these days, but so are goalies. Technology and analytics are pretty substantial so strategies are more abundant. Goalie equipment was cut down, power plays start in the offensive zone, and the two-line pass was eliminated as well. New penalties like the controversial puck over glass were introduced, and I think there's a headshot penalty as well.
Yet power plays are down: in the 2005-2006 season, one team had 541 opportunities and the highest scoring rate was 22.1.%. This season, the most opportunities is 248 even though the top team has a 25.3% efficiency. So while the scoring rate hasn't changed much, teams are getting about half as many opportunities as 10 years ago. Imagine if Detroit (top PP team this year) had twice as many power plays? That's an extra 60-odd goals, almost 1 more goal per game.
The top scorer in 2005-06: Joe Thornton with 125 points. You have to go down to #25 on that list to find a PPG player (Shanahan with 81 points in 82 games). This season there might be a handful of players who hit 80+ points.
It just seems like a natural evolution of the game. The ice hasn't changed but the players are bigger, faster, and stronger, so there's less room to move. Add to that coaching chess matches and bigger, more talented goalies and it's hard to find a weakness.

Bishop has a cool Goalie Mask
You can't really compare any normal season to the one directly after the 04-05 lockout, scoring was really inflated that season.
