The tripping penalty change sucks. I liked that if a player was chasing an opponent with the puck he still had a chance to legally break up the play if he swept at the puck and contacted it even if the player trips after losing possession. Now if a player gets a stride on a defender there is no legal way to take away possession outside of a penalty. We are going to see a lot more tripping minors now that used to be considered a great defensive play.
