Remember when Ovie was a fun quote?
The hockey establishment took care of that.
Everyone's supposed to play and act like Mr. Beige himself, Jonathan Toews.

The NHL wants New Jersey Devil hockey. For everybody. And it's working. But now you have ideas floating around of decreasing goalie equipment size and increasing the size of nets.
This is the same league who, instead of removing shootouts, decided to introduce a 3v3 OT gimmick to lower the number of shootouts that occur. This is pond hockey stuff. Nothing wrong with 4v4 or 5v5 and then a tie. But that would be boring. Unlike... NJD hockey? Because logic.
