The NHL Board of Govenors approved some rule "tweaks" today. The 3 changes include:
- Increase to the allowed maximum curve on a stick.
- Alterations to curve violation penalties (including near draconian measures against teams complaining about an opposing player's stick during shoot-outs)
- Enhanced diving penalties/fines.
Basically, it looks like the League is trying to increase shooter power and decrease diving.
Works for me.
