NHL is trying to add penalties to contact during a race for touch up icing- article here

that's lame. Bullshit. Just get with the times and institute no touch icing. It DOES NOT SLOW DOWN THE GAME THAT MUCH. Trust me on this one, I've watched a lot of games in the ECHL where there is no touch icing and it's just as fast and flowing. (I think college has the no-touch rule too but I'm not certain)

Anyway it eliminates injuries and that is GOOD. and will slow the game down less than penalties. STUPID.

The idea is good the execution sucks.

I have to work now. Stay tuned for this week's hockey SAB. :)
