Is there going to be a wide ice surface (which is better than small ice surfaces, which the NHL uses, which is why Japanese womens hockey is better than the NHL, because wide ice surfaces are better than small ice surfaces) option in the next NHL?

Since the idea of a wide ice surface was brought up many months ago.. more have climbed on board the "larger ice solution".

Burke is the biggest mouth in favour of larger ice..
but guys like guys like Ray Shero, and Garth Snow also favour this idea.

Burke has worked in some of the NHL's most senior management ranks during his career... so when he speaks up on a substantial rule change it means something.

You can keep pounding away on this topic.. but with each passing year the players get bigger and bigger making an ice dimension set in 1895 more and more obsolete.

if the average player were 5'10" and 160 lbs the current NHL dimensions would be fine.
but that is not the case.

the NCAA has the right idea.

Every team is gonna have to spend 480 million bucks on a new rink with 30k seats obviously. Only viable way.

looks like you brian burke will be the "coaches first point of contact with upper management" for team usa in Sochi because the US GM had facial surgery and can not fly because he can't handle the change in air pressure.

actually the way Burke proposes it.. it'll be 2 rows.

also, that is not how the leafs work

what the leafs will do is replace 2 rows of platinums where the first 2 rows of the golds are....
then replace 2 rows of gold where the first 2 rows of red are..
and so on .. and so forth.
and so .. what will happen is the ACC will lose 2 rows of its least expensive seats.

even if its 4 rows. it still the least expensive seats in the arena and the luxury boxes remain untouched.

[image loading]

if they can do all these outdoor games... they can manage to renovate arenas.

as players continue to grow in size this change becomes the only reasonable solution.

oduya being there over hedman is still pretty funny

Our coach is in love with Chicago and Detroit, so I get why Oduya is there. Oduya and Hjalmarsson is a two-player deal. Hedman is a better player than both, but Oduya and Hjalmarsson are used to playing with eachother, so it would be unwise to split them up.

What I will never understand is why they picked Edler and Tallinder over Hedman. Edler have been pathetic this season, and is a danger defensively, and Tallinder is not a elite defenseman. Hedman on the other hand has been carrying Tampa's defense, and has been productive offensively as well.

Speaking of Tampa, why didn't the Czech play Radko Gudas?

the bottom bowl is not 'cheap' and losing 2-4 rows from anywhere in is a lot of money lost over the course of a season

but keep 'entertaining' the idea that owners will throw away money

That's definitely true about Edler. He's been flaming dogshit this season. Tallinder has been ok, but he's nothing special.

Just do not get no Hedman

to be fair, the most valuable seats in the house are the luxury boxes, not the 4 front rows. I am honestly surprised that more teams dont eliminate mid-bowl seats for box space.

Burke has stated a larger ice surface will lower injuries. if he sells the top NHL minds on that then that justifies the cost.
every injury costs money.

furthermore, in the ultra long term a larger playing surface will lead to larger arena capacities for any new arena.
only slightly larger but still larger.

the larger the playing surface of the sport the greater the capacity of the stadium

boxing/mma < basketball < hockey < baseball < american football < european football < auto racing oval

yes, you can theoretically stick an MMA event in a giant domed stadium, but for serious viewing a small intimate venue is what satisfies a serious MMA/boxing fan. Hence, the MGM Grand is your standard size of venue for a combat sport.

Ugh, only couple of hours till Finland plays their first game! Got to stay home to watch at least the first two periods, then head to Uni. So take heart that others have to suffer these somewhat nonsensical game times as well.
