I'm not even sure why some of the old rules in NHL still applies. The two most common examples of goal or no goal rules that really suck are the high stick rule and the kicking the puck into the net rule. Sure, these rules were put in place a long, long, very long time ago for safety reasons, but times have changed. If these rules are removed, there wouldn't be so much controversy and the games would go a lot faster without any contest and without any review. If it's in, it's in.
