I'm not sure if the new rules favor small teams over big teams - what's to say big, physical teams can't play within the rules of hockey and not fight? Minnesota's Dr. "wait a minute, let me shuffle my lines one more time" Woog was a big proponent of this rules change. I personally think he might regret it, since Minnesota lead the league with DQs last year and the current goph squad has several hot heads on it who will probably be DQed at least once. I think this new rule change is good, but I think it's going to back fire on the Wooger.
