I take it you also like the new rules? I'm one of the very few that likes them, at least on the New York Ranger forum. I think they open up the game considerably. For about a decade there, it was getting to be like watching paint dry. I still think a larger ice surface is needed, but these new rules have definitely helped.

I also always felt there should be no restraining whatsoever from behind. If your man got by you, well that's tough, you're beaten. You shouldn't be permitted to grab them from behind in any way shape or form. Glad they're finally calling those infractions.
