from Eric Duhatschek of the Globe and Mail,
He doesn’t serve on the National Hockey League’s competition committee, but maybe he should. Minnesota Wild general manager Doug Risebrough made a persuasive argument this week for respecting NHL tradition and history (he believes the league needs to market and emphasize the things that work in the game), but he added an interesting twist in the ongoing debate over what to do about goal-scoring, which continues to lag and drag, no matter how much they talk about the so-called new era….
So Risebrough’s solution: Instead of widening the nets, he thought the league could consider introducing a basketball style “key” in front of the goals, in which perhaps only one defender could take up residence at a time. Instead of restricting where a goaltender could play the puck behind the net, you’d reduce the number of defenders that could help him out in front.
read on... and many more hockey topics…
