The NHL game is getting choked by the size of the players. Every team has a number of guys well over that 6ft 200+ lb mark. There just isn't as much room to operate as there was back in the day when the averag forward was 5-10 and 185lbs. Make the surface bigger call the clutching and stick work closer and the game will flow more naturally
Do you skate, Flipper? That could be fun to watch...

I think the last thing we need is somebody as accident prone as Flipper to strap some sharp metal to the bottoms of his feet.

Has anyone ever run themselves over with their own skates before? I saw someone do that with a car on Monty Python before, but I'm having a hard time envisioning someone doing that with ice skates. Perhaps Flipper could help paint the picture for me? :P
From the halls of ivy...

It is not my intention to do away with government. It is rather to make it work - work with us, not over us; stand by our side, not ride on our back. Government can and must provide opportunity, not smother it; foster productivity, not stifle it. ~Ronald Reagan

My little brother fell once and managed to cut his finger on his own skate blade. Lots of blood, but no real damage.
