Less goalie padding, More accountability for the refs.
Less no games day like today.
There's nothing sacred about it. It's an invention; the feast of Christmas predates JC. It had a different name before, look it up. I don't really care though, they need a break once in a while during a 82 games season and this is a good opportunity for it.These men have families. I appreciate the NHL for not having games on Christmas/Christmas Eve. This policies reeks of class and integrity (or NHLPA union clout, not sure which).
The NFL/NBA are money ****** so they take husbands and fathers away from their families on what many consider the most sacred holiday.
I've read interviews with NFL players that hate playing on Christmas/Thanksgiving but they have no choice.
This year is a rare NFL exception as all teams must play on Sunday for week 17 so as to impart no playoff advantage.
The NHL needs less Canadian Zealotry and more Evangelism for the Game to those who don't get or understand the sport.
The NHL needs more LA's, Van's, Ana's, SJ's and less Babies.
