NHL set to finally confirm Nationals Park in Washington as site of this year's Winter Classic between Caps, Hawks.

Fun, I love when it's in baseball stadiums.

Patrick Kane says he is skating without a knee brace. He needs to make sure he can play without it, but the knee feels back to normal.

That icing faceoff rule is interesting, something that I didn't really notice.

 

The Spin-O-Rama rule makes sense, they say the puck is still moving "forward", but not really.

I'm fine with all of them.

 

The wing taking the draw to waste 10 seconds had to go, easy change. Good with the spinorama gone as well.

 

In other news, HBO not doing 24/7, hopefully someone else picks it up or NHL does it.

It happens a lot, and every team started to do it last year, especially in the playoffs.

 

On most of them, the puck nor the player are moving forward, but another complaint I have is when the skate would make contact with the goalie on it, moving them out.

If anyone other than Bruce Boudreau was coaching the Anaheim Ducks, Teemu Selanne believes he would be reporting for training camp with his former teammates on Thursday morning and continuing his NHL career.

On paper Richards is so much better than what we have had there even at this point in his career. I still think we could do better in theory but its a big upgrade.

In Dallas? Nice.
