Hockey is an amazing game to watch. The speed, the skill, the drama, the personalities (as long as they’re not rookies or goalies), and the intensity are a pure joy to behold. Nowhere is this truer than in the National Hockey League, the premier professional hockey league in North America and indeed the world. The best players from all over the globe dream of playing in the NHL and competing for the Stanley Cup. The constant tinkering with the game’s rules has allowed for continuous product improvement that makes the game more exciting for fans to watch. Since the lockout, the clutching and grabbing and trapping that stifled offensive creativity and dulled fans to sleep has been shoved aside, making the game better in every facet. The NHL has changed the rules about hooking and holding, made goaltending equipment smaller, prevented teams from buying championships via the salary cap, and removed the red line to open up the offence.

Except for one.
