Hasnt reached TSN yet but RDS is reporting.
It will be hard to ever watch hockey again. Strongly considering quitting on all pro sports and focusing on the WHL and other minor leagues.

When the two line pass existed, made the neutral zone important and it also made for stylistic differences in attacks. Once they got rid of that, it just became end-to-end hockey which makes for less of a build-up to a goal and less of an emotional experience when one gets scored.
Don't get me started on 3 on 3 OT and shootouts. They're fucking bullshit, even more crap that makes for better highlights while ruining the game itself.
Yep, and all of these rules punish defensive teams and defensive defensemen, as well as teams that invested large portions of their salary cap to defense and goalies. Even the way they structured the Vegas expansion draft, the rules around how many forwards and how many defensemen you could protect also punished teams that had 3-4 defensive superstars, instead of just 1-2. The entire thing is always about increasing goals and encouraging highlight reel moments, with complete disrespect or even outright contempt for old school hockey.
I agree completely.
