Looking at the picture below, especially at the forwards behind, where's the formfitting on the RBK edge jerseys now? THey changed the jerseys for that. I bet nobody liked them and they found a way to avoid the formfitting thing. What a waste of money and time, re-inventing the wheel isn't that easy after all. Players aren't 11% faster anymore?

That's a nice beard turco has there!

Can you tell me how that was a goal? I always thought it was written in the rulebook that when a opponent is in the crease and creates obstruction on the goalie, the goals isn't allowed.

I like the new NHL with more scoring chances, but when an obvious "refused goal" is allowed, I just stop watching, it's not fun to see a league going against it's own rule just for the sake of it. Before moving on the shot, Holmstrom's right skate was also in the crease.

They got rid of the "in the crease" rule for this year

I think that is really stupid taking away that rule. I mean come on thats crazy.

Yes, he does wear knee pads. It sucks the Seadogs went with him.

The rule is still there, they just don't care to apply it. Why causing interference on any player is a penalty except if it's against a goalie????

It's as unfair as if American League Baseball's umpires were allowing a smaller strike zone for pinch hitters just to generate more points.

I love how Mayer's V3's have the Sea Dogs' logo instead of the velocity logo

They moved to a more "traditional" feeling jersey in like Nov. or Dec. after too many issues with the Edge ones.

I knew they changed the front part of the Edge jersey to use the traditional material, but I think the jerseys are getting looser and looser as the year goes by. The form fitting was slowly phased out. I've just realized today while looking at pictures from today and pictures from the beginning of the season.

Oh, those silver pads are sexy.

Nope, from what I was told they were able to go to a looser feel back then as well. Players were bitching too much. I definitely think it's more apparent now, but also not all teams made the jump at first and it's been escalating.
