New and improved NHL? Maybe...

Bob Sturm, cynic of the highest order when it comes to the massively-changed NHL, likes what he saw on opening night:
If you read my comments regularly, one of my main questions was “will the intimidation and physicality of the sport I love still be there if you place all these new rules in the game?” Again, if one game is any indication, yes. There were plenty of big hits thanks to Brendan Morrow, Sean Avery, Steve Ott, and others. And there was a fair amount of bad feelings between the teams after whistles, which I endorse.

This is great news, and I hope we keep hearing reviews like this. Stay tuned...
