Now that the NHL and the Players’ Association have FINALLY come to an agreement on a new CBA, it’ll be interesting to see what happens next. The draft is today at 4PM EST and the main event will be finding out which lucky team will get Sidney Crosby in the special lottery just for him. If the Flames get him, I would have no problems with that 🙂 But I’m also interested in finding out which new rule changes will be implemented. Apparently a big crack down on the clutch ‘n’ grab obstruction is on the way, but we’ve heard this one many times before; the refs call it like crazy in the first two months of the season and then they put their whistles away. Hopefully this coming season we’ll get a new NHL with some better-late-than-never changes like no-touch icing, smaller goalie equipment (but still allow them to play the puck out of their crease) and ditching the red line.
