Yes! Yes!!! Way to go, Dally!! BTW--although it's my least favorite side of hockey, I noted with interest the morning NHL highlights on ESPN included a protracted fight between Drake's former NMU teammate Jim Hiller of the Kings and an opponent who got some incredible number of penalty minutes in that one game--like 100+! > Subject: New Rules > > Thanks to Mike for posting the new rules.

Here the NHL finally goes to HAVING the teams skate shorthanded on coincidental minors to increase the speed, scoring, excitement, and college hockey takes a step backward! Boo! I LOVE 4-on-4.
