I was watching a Preseason NHL show a few nights ago on one of the MSG channels, and the commentators said that the back and both sides of the nets in the NHL will be reduced by 4" this season. They went on to say that the size of the outside areas of the nets in previous NHL seasons varied from rink-to-rink, but will now become standard as noted. Former Ranger and now commentator, Dave Maloney, remarked that #99 would of had 10,000 points if the change being made this season was in place when The Great One played.
Has anybody else heard about this? Also, will said change be made for college hockey this season? In any event, I see this change resulting in more goals entering and exiting the net quicker and the resulting need for more instant replays.
Thoughts?
