regardless, welcome back Hockey!

I think it will take some more time for the officials and the players to adjust to the new rules. I watched mostly the Coyotes-Canucks (when I finally found it on a free preview channel for the Center Ice package) which had good flow, maybe because the West Coast teams tend to play a more free flowing style anyway. The new rules will certainly highlight the goal scorers and the power players who can skate through defensemen so long as they aren't being hooked or held.
When I'm in the NHL I'll like the new rules.
