Hate that about NHL style 'game management'. But its so predictable. What it means for NY is they know now they can play not on the edge, but over the edge in the third. Its an advantage to have that kind of assurance.
Always amazed that teams like the Devils and Wild can go through decades of changes, new coaches, new line up, even acquiring offence first players, still play the same old boring trap style year after year.
He may rue the day he declined 7 x 7
But I hope not.
So disappointed with Ferland and Virtanen. This was the kind of game they should have stood out in. Sick of watching other teams immediately go into gang fight mode....even with Edlers accidental clip in front of the net. I have yet to see any kind of that energy even from players like JV and MF who should be wired that way.

"The new expanded rule will also allow Hockey Operations to provide guidance to referees on goal and potential goal plays where the referee has blown his whistle (or intended to blow his whistle) after having lost sight of the puck."
