Won't change how guys play but mentally it's going to help, getting a goal called back because a guy pushed you off balance enough that your skate came off the ice 1cm after working your ass off for what might have been 1 of 3 scoring chances during a tight game sucks balls.

And MLB when a player might have separated from the base for a quarter of a second by a quarter of an inch while sliding head first at full speed. I'm kind of on the fence with how obvious it should be in real time, but I'd also wish they would put an 'official' in the booth who is only there to review calls... there's no reason to deal with iPads and bullshit. And there's also the argument of using more technology, whether it's for calling balls and strikes or whatever.... but, at least putting more cameras around blue lines, goal lines, etc; would help speed things up, too.... and people dedicated to watching those feeds and immediately starting to review without needing a whistle first. |

The NHL offsides rule is needlessly complicated. The entire blue line should be counted as being onside. Instead, the rule differentiates between entering the zone vs leaving the zone. In the latter scenario, for the puck to leave the offensive zone, the entire puck must cross the blue line.

Full schedule is out. Avs and Blues open up the season against each other.

My first thought was... why not just schedule 4 Avalanche/Blues games in St. Louis, followed by 4 in Colorado... then the Blues can travel somewhere else for 4 games and then go home, while Colorado starts their next 4 game home stand. ...granted, that would leave out one Canadian team each round.
Looks like they're doing pairs of games though, so they are reducing travel some while still trying to have some normalcy with the schedule. |

Also - damn. The Avs have 12 home games and 4 road games in March. That's...different.

Kind of crazy that the NHL will be back before the Chiefs play again.

This season should be crazy. For example, having Calgary and Edmonton playing each other 10 times in 4 months should lead to a blood bath.
It'll be interesting to see the biggest rivalries that come out of this format. The role of "Goon" may see a comeback. |

The Avs have a stretch of 4 games against the Wild. That will be interesting to see.
