nice changes. more scoring can only help the game. It will be interesting to see how the teams designed on defense and little scoring will adjust to the new rules.

Not sure if I like the offside TAG RULE......could be confusing, no?

Guess I will get used to it eventually.

most people can;t follow most of the fast pace action as it is, at least there will be more scoring.

yes i did . i love all the changes..

the 2 line pass and shootout rules were long overdue..

the tag up rule will help keep play moving.. no need for stopage .

i love hockey...

Question---How much time does a player have to tag up before they call offsides?

i would think he just cant get involved in the play until he tags up. if he does before crossing the blue line then he is called offsides.

Confusing..........as he could cause some sort of interference, right?

will be very interseting to see hockey totals.....if your on the right side, you may be able to make money in the beginning very easily.....but which will be the right side? up or down?

i'm sure that will be watched very closely. i think they are trying to speed up and help the offense , but not allow them any shady advantages.

if a guy is trying to get back on defense and an offensive player makes contact with him while trying to tag up , i'm sure interference will be called and the offensive player will get 2 minutes.

Many fans are going to be confused in the first few weeks of the season when they see a player that is offsides and nothing is called.

Eliminating the RED LINE in regards to two line passing is a great move in my opinion.
