from Eric Duhatschek of the Globe and Mail,
For Brendan Shanahan, one of the architects of change, the view from ice level, two-and-half-years after the lockout, looks pretty good. Not perfect, but considering where the NHL was in the not-too-distant past, not bad at all.
“What I like most is people don’t call it the new NHL anymore, they’re used to it now,” Shanahan was saying Wednesday morning, as his New York Rangers began a swing through Western Canada. “Every once in a while you’ll see an old playoff series on that hockey channel. You just sit and watch that now and it’s ‘oh my god, look at that hook, look at that guy getting mobbed or held.’

That’s too funny. My friend and I had the exact same conversation New Year’s Eve after watching some of the classic games on the NHL network and the Comcast SportsNet classic Flyers’ games they played from earlier this decade. The stuff that went on then, it is soo much faster of a game now. Some of the old games, I felt like I was watching one of the adult league games I play in with all the clutching, grabbing, and dare I say, slowness of it.
