The NHL Research and Development is in day three of their gameplay changes. Junior, college and 1 minor player are practicing them out to see if the changes will take place.
These are the changes being worked on :
Obstruction (strong enforcement).
Tag up offside rule.
Hurry-up faceoff.
No touch icing with the following exceptions: an attempted pass or a pinching defenseman.
No line changes for team that has just iced the puck.
Smaller goalie equipment.
Offensive team sets up second (instead of defensive team) on faceoffs.
No subs on off-setting penalties.
Each game will have three, 15-minute periods. Once concluded, there will be an additional five minutes of 4-on-4 followed by five more minutes of 3-on-3, which is then concluded by a five-man shootout.
Also, according to last week's Kiplinger letter which if you don't know is a financial market analysis that comes out of DC every week, predicts that that when the NHL comes back on, some teams will move or move back to Canada because the Canadian dollar is much stronger than here in the states. Kiplinger is very very very rarely wrong with their predictions. They predict how bills will pass before they really do.
