Don't mind either rule. I think hybrid icing does work having watched plenty of NHL, it just takes away some unnecessary risk. Though it does give us more to moan at the officials about when they get it wrong!

A huge number at Panthers games probably dont watch NHL so will have no idea what hybrid icing is. |

Don't mind either and expected both to be implemented for this season
Personally I'd rather see no touch icing used to avoid collisions (purely because I feel the less judgement officials have to make the better really)
However having said that have no issue with both

This makes these games very booring to watch. |

Bit crazy the blue lines don't have to move till next season, so some clubs will not be implementing this year..... talk about lack of consistency! Will some of our smaller ices have space to reduce the centre ice by 3m?

I can't recall exactly where I read it but I seem to remember that non-IIHF standard sized rinks wouldn't have to reduce the neutral ice by 3m, instead reducing it by a ratio consistent with the dimensions of the rink compared to standard. I'll have a poke about, see if I can find a link to the article. |

Barely watched any NHL, so will be a tad confusing at first for me & many others. More guesswork involved then:
"In instances where the puck is shot around the end boards, travels down the ice and comes out the other end, the linesman has to determine who would have touched the puck first."
Though would have thought this would be the defending team about 95% of the time!
