Same ol' same ol', for the most part, but what's this all about?
Burke, meanwhile, wants to discuss some possible rule changes: a modified icing rule, which he's pushed for years, a hybrid solution where the chase for the puck is decided around the hash marks instead of the end boards, thus saving on dangerous injuries; wider blue lines, the theory being it would keep the puck in play more in the offensive zone; and ringette lines in the defensive zone, forcing players to get there before making his outlet pass. Burke believes with no red line now, it's too easy for defensemen.
I've got no problem with the first two rules, I actually like them... but what? Ringette lines in the defensive zone? Too easy to make an outlet pass? Am I missing something here?
There is a huge risk in making one of those long stretch passes. Those things are very easy to intercept, and can result in costly turnovers. I feel like Burke is talking some crazy shit, or I'm just not understanding. Am I picking up what he's laying down here? Does anyone else have a different interpretation of this?
