Remember the National Hockey League? They finally got that little labor dispute solved and it only took them a whole season to figure it out. But now the NHL is back on the ice and several rule changes figure to make the game much more exciting. Gone are two-line passes, the clutch-and-grab style of defense and the ridiculously large goalie equipment, plus the NHL will now use shootouts to settle ties.
If you’ve only watched the NHL on TV, you are really missing out on the speed and excitement that can only be experienced in person at the arena. You need the best NHL tickets?

NHL Rules of the game
Handicapping the NHL season is a little tricky with the new rules, but look for teams with plenty of speed and offensive firepower to do well. Teams that used to win with size, clutching, grabbing and the trap defense, like the New Jersey Devils, will have to adapt and play a much faster game. And lots of superstars have changed teams, while others have retired. Mark Messier and Scott Stevens both decided to hang up their skates, and Eric Lindros is now a member of the Toronto Maple Leafs while Peter Forsberg will suit up for the Philadelphia Flyers. One player who many thought was going to retire, Steve Yzerman, is back again for the Detroit Red Wings in what might be his last shot for another Stanley Cup.
