Rule 76.2
By the way, I meant to mention one other random observation from Saturday's game. The change to Rule 76.2 is quite discombobulating, and will take some time getting used to.
It used to be that the only face-offs right at centre ice were to start a period, after a goal, or after an accidental or incorrect whistle. Now there's a couple extra ones every period (puck deflected out of play, penalty in the neutral zone, etc.).
If you're watching at anything less than full attention, which for me is >90% of the time, then there's a few uneasy seconds where you're thinking did I miss a goal? That was nowhere near the net was it?
Anyway, fair warning. I guarantee you that sometime in October you'll get back from the fridge to the TV, see them facing off at centre, and think OH SHIT! What'd I miss!

I'm not sure how much I trust your scouting report now.
I noticed that at the Hitmen game tonight and was somewhat confused. Good to know.
Also confusing: no one actually seems aware that obvious missed passes are grounds for waving off icing. I'm pretty sure this is an NHL problem as well as a WHL problem, but I can't be certain.
santa merda, that's not a bad thing! now you can make up the score yourself! imagine your own replays! make laser sounds as pucks bounce off sprawling shot-blockers!
Changes in penalty shots, interference rules and the new 9 face off dots
