Prompt 2
I do believe trick plays have a place in hockey and we're gonna see more of them in the future. The game is heading in the right direction but we're like 10-20 years away for the old mentality to be almost gone completely. I'm not even talking about goons fighting, I'm referring to the numerous stupid non written rules about hockey. Like we have a 5 nothing lead, let's just dump the puck, avoid big hits and play the trap. God forbid we try something cool or fancy in that situation or one of our best player is gonna get Zegrasd. Too many retaliation plays lead to players to believe creativity is a bad option. I know we're at a point where we won't reinvent the game, but as long as we teach all the young players to play the same way it's not helping for sure. The dumbest thing is the refereeing, the regular season and playoffs in the NHL are two different leagues. If you stop calling anything, of course teams playing physical will have an advantage over a team relying on skills. ![]() |
