5. Hendrik Bonmann Jersey . The Minor Penalty Shot - Rule changed in 1941(photo: District Sports Page)Goalies have it pretty rough. Before the exclusion of the spin-o-rama play, most rule changes certainly werent made with a goalies best interest in mind. Smaller pads, bigger net, the dreaded trapezoid. But at least they can be thankful that the minor penalty shot rule from 1941 no longer exists. A shot which was awarded to an opposing team if a goalie committed a minor delay of game infraction.What is a minor penalty shot? The shooter was granted an open shot at the goalie from 28 feet out. Think a free kick in soccer without the wall. The shooter could skate up to the puck for their shot, so long as they didnt pass the line when they fired the puck. Brian Rolston may have wanted to lobby for reinstating this rule before his retirement.4. Goalies Cant Freeze The Puck - 1929(photo: City of Toronto Archives)There was a rule change that stated that goalies could not freeze the puck, and if they did it would result in a faceoff 10 feet away from the goal. And heres the kicker, during the faceoff, no player except for the goalie was allowed to be between the faceoff circle and the goal line. Thats right, if a goalie froze the puck, the ensuing faceoff would have all the players north of the faceoff circle except for the guy taking the faceoff and the goalie. Incredible! 3. Allowing Forward Passes - Rule Changed in 1929(photo: What Culture)This ones the rule that essentially changed everything. Hockey transformed from a bizzaro game of rugby, to the fast paced, higher scoring sport that is today. Youve got to think a rule like this caused a higher amount of offsides calls with the number of attackers trying to position themselves behind the puck. Not to mention the difficulty of correctly calling such a rule, considering the speed of play. You thought the flying V was useless before? Imagine how inffective it wouldve been with the predictability of knowing the puck had to be continuously passed backward. We gotta say, whoever originally came up with the idea of disallowing forward passes must have been a special type of Cake Eater. Tough, but fair title.2. Stand-Up Goalies Eliminated - Rule Changed in 1917(photo: SB Nation)In 1917, the rule that penalized a goalie for dropping to the ground was removed. Yes, this does indeed mean that prior to 1917, anytime a goalie dropped to the butterfly, his team received a minor penalty. Imagine how significant this rule change was and how the "hockey purists" must have been in quite the uproar. "How is anyone supposed to score with the goalies dropping to their knees like that? Youre ruining the game!" 1. Player Not Allowed to Use Goal-tending Equipment When Replacing Goalie - Rule Changed in 1937(photo: YouTube) Nowadays if a goalie commits any sort of penalty below a game misconduct, they still have the luxury of remaining on the ice and having one of their teammates serve the two to five minutes for them. However, before the 1941 season, this was not the case. If a goalie did the crime, he served the time.So what, right? You might be saying, thats what a backup goalies for. Well, before 1937, it was a position player who was tasked with replacing the penalized goalie and heres the kicker; the substitutes werent allowed to borrow any of the goal-tending equipment. No leg pads, no blocker, no glove, not even the stick. If that rule had still existed in up until 90s, wed have to wager that any team featuring Ron Hextall in net would be the most scored against in the league by a healthy sum. Roman Burki Jersey . Before that, Rousey needed a total 23 minutes and 26 seconds to take care of her last eight opponents - and one of those fights lasted 10 minutes and 58 seconds. Omer Toprak Jersey . "I never commented to anyone that I wanted out," he explained. "My heart is with this group and making the playoffs." Kesler added that the rumours are "completely false" that he asked to be traded - recently or ever. http://www.dortmundfcshop.com/c-16-sokratis-papastathopoulos-fc-borussia-dortmund-jersey.aspx .C. - Nick Merkley and Damon Severson each had a goal and two assists as the Kelowna Rockets downed the visiting Seattle Thunderbirds 6-3 on Saturday in Western Hockey League playoff action.MINNEAPOLIS -- Keeping things simple is working just fine for the Houston Rockets. Dwight Howard had 18 points and 15 rebounds, and the surging Rockets used a fourth-quarter push to hold off the Minnesota Timberwolves 107-89 Monday night for their sixth consecutive victory. Chandler Parsons had 20 points and James Harden scored 19 for the Rockets, who have won six straight for the first time since taking seven in a row in January 2012. All five starters scored in double figures for Houston, which has won nine of 11 and 14 of 18. "Its just not trying to make the spectacular play, giving up good shots for great shots, not forcing anything. Thats what weve been doing really good lately and its a lot more fun to play that way," Parsons said. "We have so many talented guys, we can be so balanced every single night." The short-handed Timberwolves do not have that luxury right now. Back after missing one game with a bruised left quadriceps, Kevin Love led Minnesota with 31 points and 10 rebounds. Chase Budinger had 15 points as a fill-in starter and Alexey Shved scored 11 off the bench for the Timberwolves, who have lost four straight and six of seven. Ricky Rubio, who had three straight games in double figures, including a career-best 25 points on Saturday, was 2 of 10 for seven points. Loves strong game -- including a career-best 23 first-half points -- was needed because Minnesota played without starting guard Kevin Martin (broken thumb) and centre Nikola Pekovic (right ankle bursitis). Timberwolves coach Rick Adelman also was absent due to personal reasons. He is expected back Wednesday. Assistant coach Terry Porter filled in for Adelman, but was left scratching his head. "Unfortunately for us, we couldnt make shots," Porter said. "Guys that normally make shots struggled. We had good looks, but just couldnt knock them down. On those misses, they ran out, got some easy baskets and extended the lead." After its 15-point lead had dwindled to four, Houston scored the first 11 points of the fourth quarter to push its cushion to 93-78. Parsons had a pair of fast-break layups and a dunk to spark the run. This time, tthe Rockets did not let Minnesota counter with a run, outscoring the Timberwolves 25-11 in the quarter -- Minnesotas lowest-scoring period of the year. Park Joo-Ho Jersey. "Its almost been like that three games in a row where weve been in pretty good position, either ahead or right within striking distance," Love said. "Then in those first few minutes the other team just gets off to a better start than you do and pushes the lead up. We just need to be better in the fourth quarter." Howard said the key surge came about because the Rockets slowed things down. "We didnt try to rush shots and rush down the floor and take bad shots. We took our time, shared the ball and got good shots," he said. "We do an excellent job of sharing the ball and finding an open man. When we do that its hard for teams to decide what theyre going to do, if theyre going to double out the posts or stay with the 3-point shooters. We just want to make teams make tough decisions on the floor." Down by nine at the break, Minnesota scored the first six points of the second half, but Patrick Beverley had five of his 14 points as Houston countered with a 12-0 spurt to extend its lead to 79-64. The Rockets then began to work the shot clock, but couldnt get shots to fall. Instead, a 12-3 run got Minnesota within four heading into the fourth quarter. Behind 10 points from Harden -- including a pair of 3-pointers -- Houston led 34-28 after one. Love had 17 points in the quarter, including 15 straight at one point for the Timberwolves. Houston had two dunks and a pair of layups as part of a 10-2 run that bumped the lead to 56-45 with 3:43 to play in the second. The Rockets led 67-58 at the break, the most points Minnesota has allowed in a first half this season. NOTES: The Timberwolves were 21 for 21 from the free throw line, but had no attempts in the fourth quarter. ... Houston, which averages an NBA-high 31.22 free throw attempts per game, had just 20. ... Minnesota starting forward Corey Brewer and centre Ronny Turiaf were a combined 3 for 8, scoring just seven points in 48 minutes. ... Houston is home Wednesday against Washington, its lone home game in an eight-game span.
