Such discussions are not identified overtly but exist when the value of Hart trophies are discussed giving changing criteria and procedures over time. Comparables between one and two goalie system eras. Scheduling nuances and impacts.
The rule changes - forward passing, Red Line introduction, icing, etc.
1969 IIHF adopting basically NA/NHL rules to facilitate competition.
All there. Sorry you missed it.Part of the prelude which is ongoing to every project.
Are these really all directly related to what I harp on all the time, and what we are discussing now, which is growth of the talent pool feeding the NHL? What do rule changes, scheduling, etc. have to do with the obvious growth of the sport from its infancy to the modern era? It all meshes together like the universe but you seem to be avoiding my actual argument, like usual.
I’ll give credit where credit is due and you have a lot of knowledge of these topics. I just wouldn’t go to you for an unbiased view about the talent pool and how it’s changed over time or how that impacts the league.
