The NHL calls WAY too many penalties nowadays. The purpose of the new rules was to speed up the game, and this does nothing but disrupt the flow of the game. I went to the Sharks-Blues game last Friday and there were like 6 penalties called in the first 10 minutes of the game. They're way too strict with hooking and player interference. And I don't like how when there's a screen in front of the net, the defensemen can't hit the player in front, so now the defensement has to play in front of the foward. Plus, cross checks to the back was the cause of many fights, something that's lacking in the "new" NHL.
Sorry, I don't know anyone else who likes hockey..I had to vent.
