The NHL now has two Octobers under its belt since the lockout ended and the game is better even if fewer fans are watching.
Through Monday night’s games, 166 in total, compared to the same period last season, the NHL has had slightly fewer goals, power plays and fans - and a few more fights.
“I think the game is much better to watch than it was last year at the beginning,” Buffalo Sabres centre Daniel Briere said Tuesday.
Players, coaches and referees alike were feeling their way through a crash course in the NHL’s new rules last October, the biggest change being the league’s crackdown on obstruction and interference.
This season’s opening month wasn’t so confusing.
