Not the Net thing Again?

Why are they getting into this 'larger net' talk again? Will increasing the goal total by a couple goals a game make it more bearable to watch? Probably not. There would still be no hitting, way too many power plays and some teams would still play the same boring, defensive style. Sure, goalies are larger than they were years ago, but they are not the problem with the game. Their equipment was getting out-of-hand, so the NHL put restrictions on it. The style of game is the problem, there are only a handful of teams that are exciting to watch. Would larger nets make a Columbus-New Jersey better? Not a chance. Both teams try to lull their opponents to sleep and hope they catch a break.

Increasing the size of the ice would be a better option, as it would give players more room to maneuver. Problem with this is that owners would have to take out a few rows of the expensive seats, so this won't happen. I'm not saying to make it the Olympic size, but a bit larger would help open up the game.

Wellwood Injures Groin

Kyle Wellwood left yesterday's practice earlier than expected with a suspected groin injury. Maurice doesn't think that it is too serious and he should be able to go Friday against Chicago.
