Do you like the no-two-line-pass rule?

Would you like to see the NHL drop the 2-line pass rule?

More breakaways because of it...

Also, what do you think about the automatic icing... no touch up required in the Olympics...?

I think I'd like the no-2-line pass rule... but I thinkI'd keep the icing touch up...

The no two line pass thing makes for better hockey, IMO. So I wouldnt mind if the NHL implimented that.

I also dont like the automatic icing rule. I like seeing players hustle to get the Icing call.

The whole cant play without your helmet thing is obviously a stupid rule.

I also saw that they blow the whistle when someone skates into the crease? Not a fan of that one either.

I absolutely LOVE the no two-line pass rule. The flow is better, faster and more break-a-ways....more exciting.

Another thing I really like is the 15 second rule about dropping the puck on the face off. I've seen it a few times where one side still wasn't ready and they dropped the puck anyways - this gives the game more flow as well.

Yeah... the no two-line-pass rule is about the only thing I like better about Olympic hockey.

I agree, it's awesome. I don't know how well it would work in the NHL. I like the fact that there aren't ten goals a game (exept the occational wings vs. Roy duel) hehe. Anyway, I'd like to see it but if a team like the wings were playing say, oh the lightning. It would get embarrassing real fast.

It might get embarrassing in a hurry or it could become the great equalizer like the 3 point shot in college basketball.

Get rif of the Red line for passes!

Automatic Icing of the puck!

Tag ups at the blue line!

Hello, and welcome to future 50-70 goal scorers!

Okay Ken, I'm with you on all but the auto icing. We're trying to eliminate whistles. And if your arguement is that would stop icing's maybe the women's hockey isn't a good example. They suck, I think our Saturday night teams could crush the chicks.
