They won't because they don't want defensemen getting murdered on the forecheck.

Ginette Reno posted:It's really not. Hooking isn't a penalty either unless it's water ski level. NHL penalties right now are tripping, high sticks, boarding, and hooking but only if it's a huge water ski type hook and not just a lil tug. hockey is dumb as hell. i'm gonna go watch some indoor soccer or something.

That said the game is still ten times more watchable than 03-04. Go back and watch that Lighting/Flames series and look at what was let go back then. It's not quite that bad now, so there's that.

For unrelated reasons though And if I recall correctly they made a real effort to call obstruction penalties in 05-06, scoring sharply rose almost entirely because power plays sharply rose as players refused to stop holding and interfering no matter how much it was called, and then the officials promptly resumed not calling those penalties and scoring levels made their way right back to pre-lockout levels. And the longer we go on the better defensive (that is, the art of holding and interference) coaching and conditioning gets, the worse it gets. It's not just the scoring levels on their own (though come on, 5-4 games are always more fun than 2-1 games) it's more that when I want to watch hockey I end up having to watch wrestling half the time Ginette Reno posted:That said the game is still ten times more watchable than 03-04. Go back and watch that Lighting/Flames series and look at what was let go back then. It's not quite that bad now, so there's that. I actually did this just like 2 months ago and it IS very close to that bad again now. The main difference at this point is the lack of two-line pass offsides (which was always retarded) and the much greater willingness of teams to ice the puck on purpose because they were allowed to change lines.

im well aware of the issues with the "new nhl" solutions, but at least they tried, and we had 2 seasons where 100 points wasnt a mythical total for giants. now theyre just being lazy about it.

Wow, how did that blatant hold not get called on the Capitals with 15 seconds left? edit - Number 42 on the Caps had number 55 in a literal bear hug from behind. 42s right hand reached out, grabbed 55s shoulder and pulled him back and then wrapped his left arm around him from the other side.
