The NHL  released this video outlining the rule changes for 2010-2011. Brush up, so you’re not yelling at the refs for a bad call that’s actually a good call and everyone around you knows it.  No one wants to be that guy.  Thank God for some of these stricter rules – the slo-mo shots of blindisde hits to the head is terrible to watch.

Warning Chuck, Savvy’s in there.  (Pens fan hangs her head in shame.)  There’s also one of Greener getting creamed – cringe.  God bless defensemen.

Habs’ Mike Cammalleri got himself suspended for the season opener for slashing Isles rookie Nino Niederreiter – first to the head, then to the ankle.  Nino may have thrown a questionable hit prior in the play, but children, listen to your mother.  Stabbing someone in the face with a hockey stick like you’re grilling a steak is not acceptable.  Now go sit in the corner while the season starts without you.
