The way to make the game better is to make the ice larger. I'm sorry, but every player has fun playing on international rinks. They talk about it being a transition after playing in the NHL rinks for a season, but it IS better.
Even if the NHL made their rinks bigger than they are now, but not as large as the International rink sizes, it would be a big factor. I wonder why the NHL didn't force all new buildings to be capable of expanding the ice size in the future if the NHL called for it? There were so many rinks built in the 1990s, and so many people talking about the trap and making the ice bigger.
I don't know how the Isles have done so poorly. Although I don't know how St Louis has done so well, so

Can I get some (if only temporary) love for my hometown St. Louis Blues? As a season ticket holder, I've seen many games live this year...and this team is really playing great. Coach Andy Murray has them extremely well prepared for each game. MUCH BETTER than at the beginning of the season.
Come on people!!!! Islanders got a win finally last night against the lowly Flyers. Did anybody see that spear that Jason Blake put on Sid The Kid?
