New rules for next season:
https://www.tsn.ca/nhl-expands-video...offs-1.1326194
VANCOUVER — The NHL is expanding its video review process to allow an unlimited number of coaching challenges to address concerns raised after several notable missed calls during the playoffs.
The new freedoms, however, come at a price.
On Thursday, the league's general managers approved lifting limits on the number of times a coach can challenge a play during the game for goalie interference, offside and added the element of possible missed calls that would have resulted in a stoppage in play before a goal was scored.
On the downside, the first challenge that proves unsuccessful will result in a minor penalty. A second unsuccessful challenge in the same game would result in a double minor.
The league also will allow officials review major penalties to determine whether the call was accurate. Upon review, the referee would then have the option to reduce a major penalty to a minor.
...
In addition, referees can review double-minor penalties for high-sticking to determine whether the player was struck by an opponent or his own or teammate's stick. If determined it was not an opposing stick, then the penalty would be rescinded, something Bettman said would have happened only four times last season.
GMs also approved rules to reduce the number of faceoffs in the neutral zone. Faceoffs will now be held in the offensive zone even if the attacking team was responsible for the puck going out of bounds.
Teams awarded a power play will now have the choice to determine which offensive zone circle to hold the ensuing faceoff.
The league also added a safety rule, requiring a player to either leave the ice or retrieve his helmet should his helmet come off during a play. The only exception comes if the player is in a position to play the puck when his helmet falls off.
Opponents will be issued a minor penalty for roughing if they're deemed to have knocked off a player's helmet on purpose.
Re: rule changes.
Why can't Gary Bettman get #MeToo'd or butt AIDS or fatal anal implosion or something?!?? At least he hasn't made the nets bigger.
I pray to Jeebus that the Bench Minors reduce the number of video reviews. I think it will, but only for the first 20 games.
Big fan of the major penalty review and having to get your helmet if it comes off during play, however I do not like the face off rules. Why in the fuck should the faceoff occur in the attacking zone if the attacking zone player caused the puck to go out of play? Thats going to be used to "reset" when they are just cycling the puck and unable to get a shot off.

Yeah that's the only rule I don't get. Can't break through the neutral zone? Ice the puck and start the next play in their zone! I'd like to hear their rationale for that rule change.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Cap recapture penalty incoming! The Ghost of Roberto Luongo will take up ~3M of Vancouver's cap space for the next 3 years. Which is peanuts compared to what happens to the Preds if Weber retires early.

Stupid Canucks.
The salary cap era gives us all sorts of new reasons to laugh at jerk teams.
His career numbers are great too. Very surprising to me but understandable as he flew under the radar for years in Florida.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

As someone who grew up in Vancouver, he had quite the personality, very funny guy... look up his Twitter account. Would have loved for him to come to the Flames and win a cup
Hopefully he goes into broadcasting now...great goalie but also super entertaining!
Michael Ferland is a Canuck.
Our team lost some grit and are smaller this off season.
Let see who might be coming in.
