The reason they put the trapazoid in there is to help with scoring. <BR/><BR/>When a team dumps the puck in the offensive zone the goalie will just come out and throw is back up the ice without the 'zoidJayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18363195356751422035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4343012534610867297.post-73031336939815709392008-08-07T01:48:00.000-04:002008-08-07T01:48:00.000-04:00Making the nets bigger would probably be the worst thing for die-hard fans of the NHL since the lockout. I can't stand basketball for the soul reason that there is just WAY too much scoring. There is absolutely zero tension until the 4th and that's if the game is close.<BR/><BR/>But I digress. <BR/><BR/>Low scoring games is what hockey is all about. The reason we all stand up and go nuts during a goal is because they are rare and thus more fun. The feeling of a goal would really get cheated if they happened more often. And a few inches really does matter if you think about how many times you hear that TING of the goal post.<BR/><BR/>#2 and #5 would be great but unfortunately I think the goalies are going to be confined to the trapezoid and the NHL to the backwoods of cable for awhile. No wonder Melrose left, eh?Found Vinylhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03740030391391786693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4343012534610867297.post-48300726529293044952008-08-06T11:13:00.000-04:002008-08-06T11:13:00.000-04:00Oh, I realize that the rules will never be fully enforced all season long. That's just too much to hope for. And you're right - probably the nets will never be made bigger. Which is both a good thing and a bad thing, I think. But a girl can hope, can't she?<BR/><BR/>The NHL network does re-broadcast games during the off-season, tho. And you can watch those online, I think, at NHL.com. And ESPN Classic will also show the occasional older hockey game as well. Oh, and Hulu (www.hulu.com) also offers NHL games online. So there are games to watch during the off-season, if you need to get your fix.<BR/><BR/>You're not the only one who never tires of hockey. Trust me, getting burned out like I do sometimes, I'm definitely in the minority on this one.Cassiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02617914597426524412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4343012534610867297.post-85204412357369114792008-08-05T21:38:00.000-04:002008-08-05T21:38:00.000-04:00Amen to #'s 2 and 5. Actually that would be double amens because those suggestions are gggrrrreeeaaattttt!. But, a big thumbs down to #4. I know I hear that suggestion all the time but surely I'm not the only one that never gets tired of hockey. I wish that after the season is over some station would broadcast or rebroadcast certain really important games and even, maybe, just some random ones and then on one night some historic (older) games. I am not totally crazy about enlarging the nets and as for #3, that is NEVER going to happen. It would be nice if it would but don't think it will.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
