From today's Globe......I wasn't aware of this one:
Beginning next season, the NHL will penalize players who don’t immediately go to the bench after losing their helmet.
B's can't win with Krug in the top 4 or two 5-9. defensemen in the lineup.

total defensive liability, easily replaced
we shall see, I`ve always been able to forgive TK for his defensive shortcomings for what he brings at the other end of the ice.I will be more than happy to eat crow IF and only IF he continues to play this well defensively next season.
I have to ask- WTF has this guy been until now??? Up until the playoffs this season he'd been a ****ing train wreck in his own end, showed zero interest in doing anything about it and basically got mauled by larger players. Maybe a switch got flipped on inside him Hopefully it remains on.

Stupid....
Just another unnecessary rule that will give an already inept group of officials another thing to screw up.

You know Marchand will be practicing ripping helmets off all summer now.LOL! Great. It will make strategic sense to "accidentally" take a good player's helmet off whenever possible. I get the rule, but I don't like it one bit.
Maybe insurance purposes, I’m not sure. It doesn’t happen very often anyway, and if a player went head first into another player or the boards, it wouldn’t be good.What is the purpose of this rule? They treat these grown men like mites.
Sadly it will probably take a full season to add the obvious counter penalty for deliberately removing another players helmet.
Love on the main boards that the STL fan's perspective on Krug's hit last night was that he should have gotten a penalty because he skated like really fast and hit Thomas like really hard. lofl

He POWER SKATED into him.
Then he got shown the video that showed Krug crossing over 3 times and gliding 15 feet, and he was like "It doesn't matter!"
Pierre Lebrun tweeted about it last night saying it should be a penalty... I know those hits don’t happen as often these days, but I guess he wasn’t watching hockey 5+ years ago. I think most Canadian media members are babies.
Yep! Every time I go there I'm amazed at the level of stupid I see. I guess it's me that's dumb though because I'm literally surprised every time by how stupid it is.
