Why would there need to be a "hurry up" rule?
I seem to recall them having something similar a while back where there were certain circumstances where 2 consecutive faceoff violations would result in a minor. Might have been on the PK.
because the team that is penalized for icing should not be allowed to allow their players to rest by using delay tactics imo... which we see a lot of...
2 consecutive faceoff violations is always a minor for delay of game.
I don't really care but I don't see why the spin-o-rama had to be banned
Sorry for double-posting the rules in another thread. I'm hella-sick, and didn't check the "Around the League" thread first.

If this disease takes you, I will tell tales of your compassion...
The NHL released the rule changes for the upcoming season.
Here's The Quick Rundown:
1) Trapezoid extended by two feet on both sides of the goal posts
2) Clipping, charging, elbowing, interference, kneeing, head-butting and butt-ending go from being regular penalties to "Physical Fouls" - the second offence within the same season earns a one-game suspension.
3) "Spin-O-Rama" no longer allowed in shootouts.
4) Video Goal Judges given more power in goal reviews.
5) a defending player will now get a 2-minute "Tripping" penalty on a diving play to break up the puck (like, for instance, when diving forward with your stick to try and break up a breakaway), regardless of whether the defending player touches the puck first or not (old rule: if the defending player touched the puck first - no penalty)
6) Higher fines for repeat "diving" offenders (looking at you, Kesler). Head coaches will now be eligible for fines for diving players as well.
7) 2-minute "delay of game" penalties for face-off delay tactics when a team has iced the puck.
8) Coaches no longer have to submit a 3-player list for shootouts.
9) Some changes on where the faceoff will be when the puck is out of bounds.
10) Hash marks in the circles will be international-sized (ie: bigger).
It's a parasite, apparently. I'm on some pretty serious meds.
If anyone ever tells you that Indonesia is some tropical paradise, you tell 'em otherwise.

And #10 is interesting, it's probably meant to discourage teams from doing the blades of steel period intro because now they will get too tired with the bigger circles. Good they are taking this seriously
I like most of them but there are a couple that are odd..
Like Lenny said, #5 is one I don't think I will like..
The other odd one is the one game suspension for repeated "physical fouls". I get that Kneeing and head butting, butt ending should be in there, but Interference? Charging? I've seen people get 2 or 3 of those in the same game let alone in the same season. Interference especially.
Not the minor penalties. Game misconducts resulting from one of those violations. The accumulation of 2 game misconducts on the back of any of those "physical fouls" will get an automatic one game suspension.
