Fact is hockey is changing towards a more ballet style game.
I love seeing the speed and skill of the game now but the lack of physicality makes it hard not to puke.
The NHL will have to enforce change again at some point when the pendulum swinging hits a tulip patch and it starts to hit their pocket book harder.
It's inevitable.
The NHL is losing hard core fans more and more and just like in real life when it's time for the pansy patrol to pay their dues they will disappear.
The NHL got into bed with Satan when they put the wants of the vocal minority casual fan ahead of their bread and butter.
A rival league with more traditional standards wouldn't surprise me and is certain to happen at some point albeit possibly decades away.
