I do remember seeing him briefly on the sidelines with no decals at all. The only player with no decals. Just struck me as odd.

Also why is the schedule spaced out so much? For example the Islanders played yesterday, now they don't play again until Friday. It's not like football where you're getting hit every single play. To complicate things for you further: Touch-icing changed to hybrid icing a couple years ago in the NHL and semi-pro hockey. In lower levels of hockey (junior hockey, Canadian university hockey, beer league, etc.) automatic aka no-touch icing in the norm. I can only speculate on reasons the schedule being spaced out the way it is for the NHL: travel time, venue availability (anything from NBA games to the circus or even Dora the Explorer shows messing with that), trying (I said trying - not succeeding) to create a balance for each team. Also, back to back to back games would wear on even the best conditioned hockey players after a while; worn out players would more be susceptible to injuries and just in general wouldn't be able to play at their top level.

That's a new experiment this year. The NCAA led it to be that if it worked the men would adopt it soon. "I believe in Auburn and love it!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
