The "New Rule" was ignored in Fairbanks this weekend, as both teams, the
ref, and the 2 ASSISTANT REFEREES (they're not just linesmen anymore) all
warmed up before all periods. I agree, it's a silly rule.
 
The more interesting new rule is the "No need to tag up when coming out of
the penalty box" rule. The intent was, I understand, to create more
breakaways, and it certainly did, as Sean Fraser blew in twice for UAF
scores, seconds after serving his two minutes. Goalies are going to hate
this one-- looks like a jailbreak several times a game.
