Restoring the 2 line pass….NOT THAT SIMPLE

Restoring the red line will just open another can of worms, unless the other changes to the neutral zone are also reversed.
When they opened the game (supposedly) eliminating the 2 line pass, they also shortened the neutral zone by moving the blue line 2 ft closer to center ice**. They have also changed the faceoff positions. With the 2 line pass, the faceoff position was where the pass originated, but they have since changed the rules regarding the position of the faceoffs.
What would they do now..? According to today\‘s game logic a faceoff caused by a 2 line pass would be deep in the zone (faceoff circle right next to the net).
**At the same time, they moved the goal line back 2 ft. Increasing the defensive zone by 4 ft and making it nearly impossible to defend the points on the power play. This is one of the main reasons most teams best defense on the penalty kill is to collapse into the slot and try to block shots.

A quick look at ESG after 59-60 games.
After seeing many playoff series do a 180 once the officials put their whistles in their pockets,
I always pay attention to ESG stats.

B2B Games & Shutouts

Always, been curious about B2B games and how often playing the day before creates shutout opportunities.
I began highlighting (**) the losing teams that played the previous day. Half way through I noticed it was kind of interesting that some of the shutouts were bv teams that had played the day before, so I backtracked and recorded all of those (##).
I only listed the teams that have recorded shutouts.
The shutouts-against, for the teams that have not recorded a shutout, is left for another day.

Each morning after checking the Box Scores, I go to the standings, and then the stats to see what has changed. Much does not make sense because of the unbalanced schedule, which seems even worse this year. At the end of the season, each team has completed the same number of games. It is possible to then grasp the big picture…except that…by then, the big picture is just history. As each team passes the 20 game benchmark, it just seems hard to comprehend because the other teams are above or below that measuring stick. I decided to freeze the stats at 20 games for each team, and compare them after all had played their 20th game.
