This was pretty obvious last night, especially the “drive the lane, right of way” analysis during the intermission. I am glad these guys hold zero weight in the rule making for the NHL. If they got their way and hockey turns to basketball, so any team with 2 elite players and spare parts becomes a dynasty I am out.

I honestly think the networks want it back to the Gretzky years. Non contact on the elite player who racks up crazy points. The networks love it, and the player becomes the team just like the NBA. The refs can get in on the action to to make sure the right team wins. We can watch the same team win 4 years in a row, it would be amazing, and I won’t watch.
