i was really not much more than a casual hockey fan before. and the lockout pretty much showed me that i didn't really miss it all that much.

besides i think some of the new rules are just down right farging stupid (the fighting penalties in the last 5 minutes, was there even another reason to watch a 4-0 game with 5 minutes left other than the fights)

the nhl and the players union really screwed to pooch on this one

yep...on the least used site in internet history

QuoteINSTIGATOR Hoyda RULE


A player who instigates a fight in the final five minutes of a game will receive a game misconduct and an automatic one-game suspension. The length of suspension would double for each additional incident.

As well, the player's Coach will be fined $10,000 -- a fine that would double for each such incident.

Booooooooo

Fights were the only good thing about hockey. That and beer. Fights and beer were the only good things about going to hockey games.

QuoteOFFICIATING POINTS OF EMPHASIS

    * Zero tolerance on Interference, Hooking and Holding/Obstruction.

    * Goaltenders who play the puck behind the goal line but outside the designated puck handling area will be penalized for delay of game.

    * Goaltenders will be penalized for delaying the game if they "freeze" the puck unnecessarily.

    * Any player who shoots the puck directly over the glass in his defending zone will be penalized for delay of game.

All good rules that at first will cause more penalties, but in time will REALLY affect the frequency of stoppage of play, making the game faster and smoother and not so stop and go.

Didn't vote, because my answer wasn't there.  I can take or leave hockey; if I caught a game I was interested, I'd watch for awhile and I'd pay a bit more attention when playoffs rolled around.  Won't be much different in the future, I'd think.
