I stopped watching that game about half way through the 3rd, could tell Anaheim was not real thrilled. I like it when teams are getting mad on day one.
Colorado looked really good, gonna be fun seeing them in the west this season.

Goalies caught off guard as NHL enforces dormant stick length rule
The rule — a 26-inch maximum paddle length — was addressed in a Sept. 5 memo informing teams the league would be cracking down this season.
Here’s more, from In Goal:
Just like any other piece of illegal equipment, if a goalie is caught with a long paddle in a post-game inspection, they are subject to an automatic two-game suspension, the equipment manager is fined $1,000, and the team is dinged $25,000.
Unlike a player’s stick, it is not subject to in-game measurement.
That news came as a shock to “roughly half” of NHL netminders that, according to one goalie coach, used sticks with paddles longer than 26 inches.

After the lack of anything resembling a "display" in the past couple years, I'll take it...
