The technique has evolved greatly over the years. Bigger nets? Smaller gear? Defense has evolved as well with all this neutral zone trapping and TBL's 1-3-1 Defense, you think it's really the goalie's fault that the game is lower scoring?<br /><br />Hey, you want higher scoring? why not put a soccer net in the rink. Why not just play with empty nets the whole game?<br /><br />You're an idiot. It's about end-to-end scoring chances that make the game exciting. Not how many goals you can rack up. Why do you think no one gives a crap about ameteur street hockey where the scores are like 16-12 ever game?J.Homnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9215652504344172254.post-72598696882957495612012-01-18T09:12:49.478-05:002012-01-18T09:12:49.478-05:00Schriebs is the best to listen too.

It's one of the best parts of winter. I had mine on today. Got another pair ready to go for tomorrow.<br /><br />Good points about the goalie equipment. To increase scoring, it also wouldn't hurt if coaches allowed the skilled guys to play their games. You know, loosen things up a bit.<br /><br />I think that the reason Ottawa's scoring more than expected is that Maclean's giving the guys the freedom to create, especially the D. <br /><br />Maybe if Maclean wins coach of the year, and the Sens continue to do well, the copycat NHL will start to see the light.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
