Initially, I wasn't crazy about the elimination of the two line pass violation. Maybe it had something to do with watching hockey for 35 or so years. Either I'm used to it or just plain like how it opened up the game more. Now, I'm not so sure I want to see the red line brought back to the NHL. I don't know if correlating injuries to the elimination of the red line is accurate or not. Sure, injuries increased, especially concussions. One thing that changed is the awareness of concussions today. We really don't know how many players went out on the ice in the past that wouldn't be allowed in the lineup today. With that in mind, I'm not convinced the injury statistics would have changed very much over the last 20 years or more. How many injuries still occur on icing touch ups? Most icings are fairly straight forward, meaning there's a lone defenseman casually skating back for the touch up. I still like a tight game when there's a race for the puck. I say keep the current icing rules. Sure, get rid of the trapezoid and let the goalie be a part time 3rd defensemen.
