I'm not conceding that it would work, but if it did, the NHL would not go for it - it would increase the size of the net or something. The last thing the NHL wants is lower-scoring games.

Are there enough people that big? And I know Bilmore's comment about them getting stuck in the ice because of the skates was a joke, but they do actually have to wear skates. And skate at least occasionally. That, I think, would be the kicker.

Speaking of which, internationally I think all championship OT is now 4 on 4. The NHL should carry that into the playoffs. There's no way what is happening right now can continue. Ottawa is the only team left now that is exciting - that's pathetic.

Although I like your 4 on 4 idea, I have to disagree with you about the excitement. Did you watch the Ducks and the Wild last night? There were odd man (hi e/o!) rushes, breakways, killer saves by both Jiggy and Rollie, and two shorthanded goals. You are right that the Senators' offense -- when they are on -- is simply a thing of beauty, but I loved last night's game.

And now that we're on hockey, if anyone cares, unlike what the call in shows etc are saying, Brodeur is not having an affair with his wife's sister. It's his wife's brother's wife.

Well, I'm glad we got that sorted out. Speaking of goalies, it sounds like Mister Bean may not come back from the Czech Republic after hearing what Not Bobby Clarke had to say. More sturm und drang for the Pumpkin Orange. Perhaps Not Bobby thought that Roman hired Lindros' father as an agent or something.
