GSG Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 GMs want to focus on faceoffs The NHL general managers formed a consensus to recommend two changes on faceoffs. One recommendation will be to move the hash marks from three feet apart to five feet apart, similar to the Olympic rules, to prevent the jostling for position along the boards that often happens before the drop of a puck. "And [it] allows the quicker player to to get to the puck and generate scoring chances," said Blues GM Doug Armstrong, who proposed the move to IIHF hashmarks. The other change will be a recommendation that moves the player taking the faceoff back 12 to 18 inches after a violation is committed rather than kick them out of the circle completely. The second violation remains a two-minute penalty, one that is rarely called. That helps prevent the strategy of sending in a winger whose only goal is to get kicked out of the faceoff circle before the center is sent in to win a faceoff. Quote Link to comment

GSG Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 A Cold War Philly Beatdown, Illustrated The story follows the Flyers' Ed Van Impe on game day as CSKA heads to South Philly on the last leg of a North American tour. The Soviets were undefeated before meeting the two-time defending champions in the Spectrum. The Flyers, being the Flyers, play a physical game, culminating with a devastating check from Van Impe that leaves Valeri Kharlamov doubled over on the ice. The Soviets leave the ice in protest, delaying the game 17 minutes before coming back out. They'd lose the game 4-1. Quote Link to comment

GSG Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 March Madness indeed The Red Wings Won On A Buzzer-Beater The sad thing is, Pittsburgh scored 3 or 4 of the Red Wings' goals by deflections off their own guys, including the game winner Quote Link to comment

That was some real man's hockey right there. No helmets. Wonder if those flows and fros provided any protection. LOL. Quote Link to comment
