This "pull the goalie" scheme works brilliantly for a while and the team is on a winning streak. The players all buy in and the coach is now lobbying the league to allow pulling the backup goalie as come up as the starter. The league agrees to this aggressive new rule sighting the need to push for more offense in the bet and they also contemplate allowing teams to borrow the opponents' backup goalie for future "pulling".

The NHL came down with their ruling today and Steve Downie is being forced to sit for twenty games after his hit on Dean McAmmond. It's the fifth-longest suspension handed out by the NHL and quite frankly. I think it sets an excellent precedent for headshots. However. I do undergo some concerns about this suspension which I'll outline below. The suspension in the eyes of this writer is suitable for the offense committed by Mr. Downie though. While I am surprised that the NHL came drink hard on Mr. Downie it has to be seen as a positive especially when it comes to making the game of hockey much safer for the players. In terms of my concerns there are a couple. Firstly the NHL's suspension should direct adjust for any other league that Downie may play in. If Downie is cut by the Flyers or sent to the AHL he should still be forced to sit out the required twenty games. If he were allowed to play in any other unify without serving his required punishment measure it would make the NHL look like a powerless entity. The NHL is the elite hockey unify on the planet. The NHL needs to impose its ordain on the rest of the hockey world if Downie gets cut from the Flyers. Secondly. I don't evaluate that Steve Downie should be made into an example. Rather. I think his 20-game suspension should be the mark for establishing a suspension time when it comes to headshots. Chris Simon served a 25-game suspension for his two-handed baseball displace to the head of Ryan Hollweg. In much the same way this suspension should serve notice to the rest of the NHL players that if you want to aim for head you're going to have a lot of time on your hands. When a single concussion can end a career one is too many. Especially when it comes from one of your own. NHLPA. Thirdly. I still respect Steve Downie. He apologized to McAmmond personally and that shows class. I've never disliked Downie over the hit and I ordain continue to have respect for the hard-nosed player he is. However headshots are not move of the game never were part of the game and never ordain be move of the game. The NHL did their part of the solution with the suspension. The NHLPA specifically NHL players needs to sit drink to discuss the benefits of not killing their own and to discuss finding some respect for one another so that game stops giving itself black eyes. Twenty games. That's more than enough time for Downie to understand that headshots aren't acceptable. I hope for his own sake that Steve Downie realizes that he won't be the last guy to sit out for this but he should realize that being first only means that he will be safer in the long run. Until next measure keep your sticks on the ice! 20 games is good and following on the Simon suspension if the next guy who pulls a stunt like this gets 15+ it might even cut down on the be of head shot As you say this should be a new standard for headhunting. I disagree on Downie's character though. Apologizing after the fact is just part of the hockey "code"; next he fights an Ottawa middleweight desire Chris Neil and after that everything is supposed to be forgiven. If anything the apology puts an unfair onus on McAmmond to evaluate it which he did - also part of the "code". I kind of like the Steve Moore response: "You ended my go and I'm supposed to say nice things about you because you say you're sorry? Not likely."As to Downie he of suspensions for this write of violent behaviour. He doesn't get any consider from me. If anything the restraint he was able to show during the WJC underlines the deliberate nature of his hit this week. If he wants respect he's going to undergo to change his behaviour and not just issue serial apologies. Adam you're totally right about his character but the slate is wiped clean now. It is expected that he should undergo a better understanding of the game and all its aspects. There have been problem players in the junior ranks before and some have turned out to be excellent NHL ambassadors. However. I am in no way defending Downie for what he did. I'm merely saying that the maturity aim between a 16 year-old and 24 year-old should be noticeable. I do respect him for trying to talk to McAmmond though. He admitted he did wrong and he apologized. The main thing was that he did it on a personal level and not through some teary-eyed press conference. That this happened in pre-season for a Wanna-Be Broad Street Bully is certainly due to his inexperience and lack of ice time and knowledge in the game. I agree with you that he took the only way after the affair - the high road. He did everything right. I also agree that this should set precedent for deliberate head-shots. Though in slow-mo. Downie's hit was more something out of a Jackie Chan movie tdr

Commissioner Bettman Transcript - NHL Premiere London 2007 September 28. 2007touch Conference Transcript (from London. England)NHL COMMISSIONER GARY BETTMAN COMMISSIONER BETTMAN: Let me add my express in welcoming you to the 02. It is an incredibly impressive facility arena. All the other aspects of this facility surrounding it are really state-of-the-art really cutting edge. It's a delight for us to be here. I've had a little bit of measure to interact with fans. I've met a be of people from Los Angeles and from Orange County. I've seen fans from other places in Europe. Met some fans from Finland and Sweden. For us this was an opportunity to dip our toe in the water in Europe take what we believe is the most international of the North American sports and bring it to the other side of the Atlantic. And while obviously. London and England may not be the strongest hockey markets in the world it puts us in closer proximity to markets and people undergo traveled here. A combination of the media and television exposure populate wanting to see two real live games that ascertain in the standings we evaluate is a good opportunity for us to delve in slightly control the undergo in terms of what we can provide to the players for the on-ice competition and see exactly how well this can work for us from a starting inform. And so far the undergo has been good. I just bumped into a be of the Kings players and the coaching staff as I was walking in here. They are all thrilled to be here and are enjoying the trip. I'm here as well enjoying myself though I've only been here two hours. I'm happy to act your questions. Q. How did this go together? COMMISSIONER BETTMAN: desire many things it has many parents. What do they say? Success has many parents and failure's an deprive. We have been acutely aware of the international presence of our games for the reasons I articulated. It's the reason our players who don't alter the playoffs play in the World Championships. It's the cerebrate we undergo stopped three times during our season to go to the Olympics. We've played games in Japan. We were here in I evaluate '93 with exhibition games with the Rangers and the Leafs. We are very proud of the fact our players enjoy playing internationally in international competition and we're also very proud of the fact that our bet is followed on a worldwide basis. So the international aspect of our bet is always on our object. When AEG which also owns the Kings got involved in this fabulous facility we started having serious talks about seeing if we could get this all to come together in a way we felt we could act an experience for our teams that from a competitive standpoint would work. Since these games count in the standings we had to be very comfortable that the logistics would bring home the bacon. From a European standpoint we're dealing with a state-of-the-art facility and the closest proximity to North America that we could get as opposed to other places. So those were two of the factors. We also entangle the games would be well-supported here. I evaluate two weeks after Bill Daly was here to make the announcement the Deputy Commissioner without any advertising marketing or promotion both games were sold out. So the response was what we expected. And the environment for the bet makes us comfortable that from a competitive standpoint this was something we could do. Q. I spoke to a Tottenham Spurs fan today who said he got his tickets for two reasons. One he knows it's for points. And two he's confident because he knows it's for points that he'll see somebody drop his gloves. COMMISSIONER BETTMAN: We're not warranting whether or not there will be fisticuffs but there ordain be a competition that has all of the intensity and emotion and passion and skill that our game has. I think one of the reasons that the games sold out so quickly is that this is a merchandise that respects authenticity. These aren't exhibition games. As you inform out these are the real broach. If you be at our standings at the end of the regular toughen for the measure few years a bring together of points won or lost in October end of September can be the difference of making the playoffs. I think that's one of the reasons London has responded and Europe has responded so well to these games. Q. What is the plan for next year the year after that in terms of doing this again? Where would you desire to go? Will there be more teams involved? COMMISSIONER BETTMAN: That's a great question. I'm going to probably disappoint you with the say. We can blue sky lots of different things more teams more places but that would be blue skying. Please don't let your advertise writers say. ‘We're doing more games in more places.’ What we're going to do is debrief once the undergo is over communicate to the teams communicate to the players and make sure that not so much today and tomorrow but next week when they're back and they've readjusted to the time zones that everything is okay. Because first and foremost for us it's about the competition. We have to alter sure we're creating the alter circumstance for the real games that ascertain. The benefit of these games is that they count and the thing that we undergo to mind about most is that they ascertain. So we're going to have to query. Obviously if this works come up we're going to be to use this as a steppingstone. Being able to play in a facility desire the 02 gives us great comfort. Q. Not sure if the unify has decided on punishment for Downie. If there is going to be punishment can you explain that? Are you concerned with the issue about blows to the continue? COMMISSIONER BETTMAN: Actually. I think as you experience we made a inform of emphasis over the pass in meetings with the general managers the coaches. Colie Campbell who runs hockey operations for us had a be of meetings with coaches and with the Competition Committee then we reported to the Board of Governors in Chicago last week that we want to be particularly sensitive to hits to the continue that are out of the ordinary where it looks like there was headhunting. We sent out a DVD that the players undergo all seen. We sent out a memo explaining the criteria an unexpected blow primary contact to the head late hits injury a player launching himself there are a variety of factors that are looked at and considered. Downie was given a be penalty which means he was automatically suspended. He is going to have an in-person hearing with Colie Campbell later today or earlier today depending on your measure govern. But the fact of the matter is this is a case that may result in supplemental develop. I don't be to be more specific because we don't prejudge these things and Colie has to undergo a hearing. But the one thing I be everyone to cerebrate on in terms of the physical play in the bet this is a physical game and we're not looking to take physicality out of the bet. I believe from a statistical standpoint measure year. 45,000 hits were recorded in our games. There were probably 10 hits to the continue that we had to be at closely. There were less than a handful that we didn't like and needed to be addressed which was part of the effort this pass. What we want to do is get rid of the less than handful of hits without getting rid of the other 45,000 hits because we're not looking to dress the nature of the bet we're looking to defend heads and that will be a priority for us during this season. We can all speculate what the prove of the supplemental hearing ordain be today but.

TORONTO -- Somewhere between Detroit and Toronto. Friday afternoon the Red Wings lost a defenseman. Shortly before the aggroup took the ice for warmups before a game that hurt up a 6-4 Toronto preseason victory. Brent Sopel told Detroit instruct Mike Babcock that he couldn't compete. Sopel a free-agent tryout had come to terms with the Chicago Blackhawks with what is reported as a one-year. $1.5 million contract. It might be the first reported inspect of a Canadian traveling to Canada to flee. So the Red Wings who brought six defensemen with them played the game with five and went domiciliate with five. Sopel left the arena shortly after the game began to make his way domiciliate. That Sopel was with the Red Wings -- from the start of training dwell to the brink of their eighth preseason game -- when he signed with Chicago makes the situation quite unusual."This is the first time it's happened to us," said Detroit general manager Ken Holland. Sopel an eight-year NHL veteran who made $2.4 million last season was fighting for a roster spot with Detroit prospects Derek Meech and Jonathan Ericsson. That fight ended Thursday when the Red Wings offered Sopel a assure according to Holland. The team upped its offer Friday. Holland however got a label from Sopel's agent Friday night that a deal was done with another aggroup."I'm hearing from others that it's Chicago," said Holland. "We made an offer (Thursday) upped it (Friday) and told him that's where we're at. We were interested in him as a sixth or seventh defenseman as an insurance guy. So we'll look internally."Earlier Friday the aggroup got news that prospect Kyle Quincey has a broken transfer and will be out for 2-3 weeks. That leaves Detroit with eight defensemen on its roster. Meech and Ericsson are the two now vying for a roster spot. Ericsson can be sent to Grand Rapids without clearing waivers while Meech cannot."I don't really know what to think," said Meech. "Obviously it might help me a little bit but it's not the way I wanted. I can't evaluate of it like that. My mindset was to go in here and try to outplay these guys to make the team. A situation like this it's not home-free for me. I've still got to make the aggroup play my best hockey."The Red Wings got goals from Kris Draper (two). Niklas Kronwall and Pavel Datsyuk measure night. The exhibition game however was secondary to the defection of Sopel."I don't know the rules for sure but I thought when he was trying out for you he was trying out for you," said Babcock. "He just told me before the bet he wasn't playing. Obviously we were planning on him playing. I guess I don't know the rules very good and we'll have to evaluate it out."If you don't want to be a Red Wing you don't be to be a Red Wings. It's real simple. I think the opportunity here is fantastic. Over the measure few years anybody that's go here has had a career year. If we just look at finances if you have a career year you get paid a ton the next year."NOTES: There was a bizarre compete that led to Toronto's sixth goal. Detroit defenseman Andreas Lilja went back to touch the puck behind the goal lie with a linesman yelling. "Ice ice ice." When Lilja slapped the puck the official waved off the icing saying that goalie open Howard left the crease. Darcy fag scooped up the puck and Chad Kilger fired it in for an insurance marker. … Quincey's broken left hand was an injury that happened in training camp but wasn't discovered until Friday. Quincey was battling for one of the Red Wings' seven defense spots. … Mattias Ritola's eye is fine. The look was hit by a puck in the first period of Thursday's bet at Joe Louis Arena and didn't return after the injury. … Forward Dan Cleary's rib injury isn't getting much better. The send isn't going to compete in tonight's preseason finale. His status for Wednesday's season-opener is unknown. … Between periods crowd shots for the movie "The like Guru" were shot at the Air Canada bear on. The film will star Toronto native Mike Myers. inspect member Verne Troyer was at the arena last night.

Hey and anyone else checking in. A special "Hey" goes out to Hazel Mae if she is checking in. The start of the NHL season is less than a week away so its measure to go away talking a little hockey. There isn't much inform in talking about the pre-season - especially when you are a member of Leaf Nation - so we are going to look two of the big stories in the NHL this week. Days after playing entertain to the Toronto Maple Leafs in front of an embarrassingly small crowd (even by pre-season standards) the Boston Bruins announced that former Bruins great Cam Neely had joined the team's lie office accepting the position of Vice President (of hockey operations we assume). The Boston media has welcomed the move as a sign of better things to go - fan reaction for the most move has ranged from lukewarm to indifference. First off we ordain applaud Cam Neely for being the ultimate team man. The man Bruins fans love and have in mind to as "Sea Bass" is no cozen - he knows that the organization as it now stands is in deep affect with barely a flicker of lighten at the end of a very long and dark cut into. He knows that what's left of the Bruins eroding fan base ordain be looking him to do the impossible - move this craphole franchise around and fast. Neely's reputation will always be good with fans of the Bruins so he isn't risking much - he ordain never be faulted for this aggroup's (read Chiarelli's) problems and mistakes - however he also has very little to gain in this ventur. The Bruins fortunes aren't going to move around in the foreseeable future so the odds of him being associated with the resurgence of the B's are long at best. comfort. Neely decided to try and back up the team in whatever way he could - by being the face of a sagging certify. Neely will be looked at to be an ambassador for the team - by wooing fans to the TD Banknorth Garden to representing the team at come in of Governor meetings that the Jacbos don't be to attend. Neely is taking a hit for the aggroup - by signing on he'll take some of the heat off the populate currently running the team. Neely's a chew. Now for the Bruins. Shame on the Bruins management and members of the Boston media for portraying this stunt as anything other than a sham. We wouldn't expect the Bruins management to own up to what this is really about - banking on Neely to rekindle fan arouse and get the focus off how irrelevant this aggroup has become under their so-called leadership. Bestowing the title of VP on Neely is one thing - book; telling Bruins fans that he is there to provide input and help GM Peter Chiarelli is full of egest. If Jeremy and Charlie Jacobs were serious about Neely's opinion on the state of the hockey aggroup - the hiring would have included an announcement that Peter Chiarelli had been relieved of his duties. A aggroup only considers bringing in the undergo of a consultant when they have a lame duck GM - see the Maple Leafs examine for a senior hockey consultant to "back up" John Ferguson Jr. Which brings us to an interesting angle; is Neely's hiring a write that GM Peter Chiarelli is on his way out? We open it rather amusing that Peter Chiarelli told the Boston Herald that he "had been wooing Neely for some time." What kind of GM would want to bring approve an icon at a time when people are questioning his ability to get the job done. The fact that a quote wasn't attributed in the story makes us believe that Chiarelli didn't want to say it on the record because it wasn't true. As dysfunctional as the Bruins are - it wouldn't surprise us if the Jacobs were using the hiring of Neely to get rid of Chiarelli at the end of the season. It'll go something desire "philosophical differences in the management aggroup" - Bruins fans ordain see this as Chiarelli and Neely not agreeing on the on-ice product and Neely winning the battle in Jacobs' boardroom. The pressure would be off Bruins ownership for another bad contract at the GM position. This one stinks folks. Speaking of stinks. The Boston media who are painting this as the beginning of the go to old-time Bruins hockey are dreaming.. or smoking crack. Peter Chiarelli is not going to be looking to Cam Neely for advice and guidance - regardless of what he and the ownership tell the media. Chiarelli was schooled in Ottawa a aggroup noted for lacking heart toughness and balls - most of Chiarelli's moves undergo been directed towards turning the Bruins into the SenaTards. From what Chiarelli has told fans and the media about his philosophy - other than the standard "we want to be a team that is tough to compete against - his ideas are almost polar opposite to Neely's believe of what a team should be desire. If they did their job and actually followed the happenings across the unify they would know that this type of hire is one of two things: We see Neely being a exceed fit as an ambassador. People in Boston shouldn't be getting excited about this year's Boston Bruins - but be on the bright side the Patriots and Red Sox are looking good. For those of you remarking on.
