> There were no blue lines only a red line? I must be having a really bad morning, because that still isn't what I meant. Here goes again: For purposes of normal, boring, off-sides (player crosses into offensive zone before the puck), there was no change. You still must be on-sides to continue the play, and you always had to be. However, assuming you ARE on-sides, you can still be called for a two line pass. In the pros, the red line counts as a line; in college, the red line does not count, but you can still be nailed for a two line pass by going behind your blue line to ahead of your opponents'. At least, I think you can. Some posts seems to suggest that this is perfectly legal, and I begin to doubt that I've ever seen it called, except by Gallagher, which as all ECAC fans knows, means nothing. Icing is yet another issue, and the post about the change in icing rules (moving the icing line up from the blue to the red) makes me begin to believe that this is the rule change that the person from whom my original information came was remembering, and it got garbled somewhere between him and me. We now return to our regularly scheduled game of "telephone". Greg Cambridge Let's Go Red!
