I learned something about this year tonight....anything can happen....I'm watching the Sharks- Blues and following the Bruins-Penguins games and both my teams are again getting thier collective azzes handed to them. Sharks down by 3, Bruins down by 2...
My Wife talks me into going out to dinner, we leave for dinner. Come home the Sharks scored 4 GOALS in the 3rd, and the Bruins 2 to tie and a third to WIN in OT. Both teams WIN!!! Look at these scores! Bruins-7 Pens-6 (Crosby gets #1)... Sharks score 7, Blues 6....Atlanta SCORES 8!, 3 more end in shootouts! WOW.... Dont leave the game or the T.V. early, you might miss it all.

 I left a WHL(junior hockey league that mirrors NHL rules and which most NHL players come from) game early tonite because my team was down 4 - 2 with 8 minutes to go and I hate traffic........I missed my team scoring 3 goals in 3 minutes /  Hearing your team win on the radio when you just left the game is about as bittersweet as you can get.

and as far as not leaving the game or TV, that has always been true in hockey, as far as I'm concerned.... Things have always happened in a matter of seconds in hockey, things have always changed very quickly.... Thas why I love the game.

Back in 1998(when the trap was starting to take off in popularity) my local team won the Memorial Cup(North America Junior Hockey Supremecy). Driving back home from the game with my friends we got to talking about how this year, even though they won more games then ever before, was just about the most boring year. The players won using a system instead of a melding of talent....sure they all were quite talented because no system in the World is going to win you a championship of that caliber without it; but it was the system that really won it for them. We fondly recalled better and greater teams in their history and wondered aloud how they could never get out of the Division to play for the championship........the answer came to us all at once...Kamloops(rival city) was using the trap and we finally got by them by playing their game

These rules changes aren't going to change the fact that some teams will use systems..... it will just change the systems that they use, and force them to create new ones.....

I have yet to see a single team using the trap this year. IT IS DEAD. As you watch a game see how the Nuetral zone is used now for strictly transition, and teams glide through. Watch an old Jersy or Wild Game...they spent half the game in the Nuetral zone. Now if you aren't ready to head back fast, and set up Defense, it's Break-away time for the other guy! Also on Goalie Equipt- Giggy is having a bit of trouble in Anaheim, but have you seen Luongo in florida? WOW...2 shutouts in 2 games. He is faster with the smaller Equipt.
