Well I agree in theory but it would be difficult and time consuming to change the rules. Perhaps a system like 3 "points" for a goal 2 for a direct pass leading to a goal and 1 for a secondary pass. But the problems comes up of shortchanging those people who pile up the assists, but don't score alot of goals. Does this mean that offensively they are inferior to the goal scorers? In my opinion no, take them away and someone is missing alot of feeds..... Anyway, it would be difficult to decide who gets a 2 point assist and who gets the one point assists as well, and the box scores would be constaly chaning through out the game as the officials review tapes to aware points..... still a good idea all the same.... Pat Ellis p.s. GO BRUINS GO UMAINE BLACK BEARS still number 1.....
