I don't see how touch-up icing keeps the game flowing. The second a defenseman touches it, it's over. I'd say more than 1/2 the time, there is no race to the puck anyway, the defenseman just gets there ahead of another player.Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16915451441847158764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4071712146412684191.post-39815754746150916892008-03-24T23:32:00.000-04:002008-03-24T23:32:00.000-04:00yeah I just dont want to think too much about the ...yeah I just dont want to think too much about the points and the opponents thing. One game at a time. that way we stay sane. ;)<BR/><BR/>And I totally, 100% without a doubt in my mind think that the NHL should have NO TOUCH ICING! Every other damn level of hockey has it. Touch-up icing can and does lead to dangerous situations. It usually isn't intentional or malicious but 2 guys racing to the puck and running (face first) into the boards (haha) is NOT GOOD. <BR/><BR/>Those talking heads can whine all they want about how it slows down the game but they are full of crap. I've watched a couple hundred games at the ECHL/AHL and NCAA Divison I level and the no-touch icing doesn't effect the flow of the game at all, other than to prevent badnessss. <BR/><BR/>/steps off soapbox. ;)S.A.M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17506479286542011522noreply@blogger.com
