A few things I don't get about the NHL:

1. Next season's schedule. While I do want to see more Interconference play, I do *NOT* want an excuse for the NHL to showcase their new-NHL posterboy Cindy Crosby around the country. It currently takes away from divisional play, particularly the Atlantic division, the nastiest division in the NHL. Rivalries and heat get people through the door, not diving pretty boys.

2. Refs being harder on defense. Defense makes hockey. Don't make bullshit calls just so there are more scoring opportunities. Don't reward scrawny figure-skating faggots who happen to be a good shot. Don't punish the tankish bulldozers who play a more physical game on the ice. Don't make professional hockey into Disney On Ice. This is hockey. People expect to see full contact.

3. Goalies. They're making the nets bigger and the equipment smaller. Hockey is NOT basketball.

4. Visors. They're considering making visors mandatory. They're hazardous in scrums. They fog up and impair your vision. They're just clunky and not important. If you take a stick to the face under the visor, there's more of a chance that you'll get fucked up more.

5. Fairweather media saturation. A few seasons ago, Pittsburgh had the worst record and atrocious attendance. Last season, Philly had the worst record but still had good attendance numbers. Philly kept its attendance up, but Pittsburgh only recently had a big jump on attendance because of media saturation and fairweather faggots in Pittsburgh. What the fuck.

Only one question remains: is Gary Bettman the greatest troll to ever live?

Stop buying your visors at Wal-Mart. NHL-quality visors have an anti-fog coating.

I don't get how getting hit while wearing a visor could cause more damage..

The day my Bruins start wearing visors is the day I give up on sports.

Well, in that case, at least we had someone who COULD buy those tickets, unlike the owner before Mario took over,who basically ruined that franchise, and had the State of Pennsylvania come in and help out and keep them from moving.

State? Huh? When did that happen? Bettman, sure. PA, not so much.

Meh, if it became a team wide thing like it is on the Habs though.

Lucic or Thornton with a visor would be strange.

(1) More brawling gets people through the door.
(2) Brawlers make good hockey.
(3) Goalies should be bigger. That way brawlers will be more important than scorers.
(4) Equipment should be tweaked to make fighting easier.
(5) If you weren't brawling in the parking lot when things were bad, you don't deserve to come see people brawl on the ice when things are good.
(6) More brawling.
(7) MORE brawling.
(8) MORE BRAWLING.
(9) MOAR BRAWLINGZ!

Bettman should be canned, hockey is not a scoring league. And his replacement should find a way to award points for one player beating the shit out of another player.

4 random times each period, for one minute, the lights go off and the puck and goal light up. During this time, goals are worth 2 points. Upon a goal, the lights will come back on until next darktime
