i like the rule change. The faceoff has become to specialized. What would be wrong if it became a ground ball battle?
What's wrong is that more kids will be injured. I wonder if you will still be in favor when your the hospital with your son and he has a serious concussion.
From groundball battle ????? Dunb statement.
How is it a dumb statement?? Without clean wins:
1.The wing middies will be colliding around the ball more frequently, running in full force towards a loose ball.
2. The F/O men will Jam each other, increasing the chances of head collision.
3. Expect many more slashing injuries around the x area.
The "rule-makers" should be making changes that will reduce the chances of injury, not increase it!
If you are such an advocate for safety, and the face-off presents all the dangers that you have stated, you have made a wonderful case for not having faceoffs throughout the game. Your argument loses both ways!!!!!!
