Maybe when you guys are referencing a play, you could post a video? Have no idea what you're talking about.

Why is it always goalie equipment that must be changed? I completely agree that the nets should stay the same size, but does the game really need more goals? While a few goalies are in agreements to the measurements and new sizing, this is kind of ludicrous. Imagine there's suddenly too many goals and the NHL decides to start changing the flexes on players' sticks to ensure scoring goes down... The pad sizing was changed a few years ago and save percentage has actually risen... While some fans may think the game needs more goals, I honestly love the way the game is now. Just my input, but then again it seems many fans are leaning towards the "more scoring" route.

There will be complaints about lack of goals. There will never be complaints about too many goals. Just how it is.

There could be complaints about too many PP's leading to more goals like immediately following the 04-05 lockout, but not about the actual goals. Similar to football and the rules favoring the offense. It's not the scores, it's how they get there.

Defenses are so suffocating now that goalies need to be shrunk. Coaches find ways to slow the game down no matter what rules get put in place, but you can't slow down a more form fitting goalie jersey or equipment.

Flyers shootout win (!!!) against the best team in the league. Feeling good about our playoff chances, and think we'll give whomever a run for their money. But I'm fully expecting an L against the Sens on Saturday. We always seem to play up or down to our opponent. Luckily the playoffs feature only good teams!

Just watched the Flyers Caps game... Man, the ref really let the Flyers get away with a lot that game. Seems like the league wants a tight wildcard race to end the season as there was some questionable calls/no calls in that game that all went the Flyers way.

P.S. Didn't the Caps have a PP in the O.T.? Yes, I believe they did.
