Guys like Malhotra will have to make sure that hand stays on the stick. (Getty Images) With the Board of Governors all convening on Las Vegas -- what a tough Willie Lanier Jersey a signment -- for the NHL Awards Show on Wednesday night, they had some house cleaning to take care of.First there was the pretty easy i sue of approving the sale of the Toronto Maple Leafs. That was so expected I had already forgotten about it still needing that stamp. Also why they were all together, why not establish some rule changes?Now it was nothing earth-shattering or things that are really going to have ma sive impacts on the game like reinstituting the red line, but they are noteworthy Elijah McGuire Jersey rules changes. Obviously the powers that be are getting tired of hands playing pucks instead of sticks.The first change comes to Rule 67 regarding players catching the puck. Not a whole lot of difference but here's how Willie Gay Jersey it reads now.Basically, cover the puck with your hand to prevent an opponent from playing it -- regardle s of the location on the ice -- and you'll get hit with a two-minute penalty. Seems reasonable enough to me. The second rule change that was approved also involves stopping players from grabbing the puck.Once again, not a terribly huge departure from where we're George Karlaftis Jersey at now, but this will affect a few more players than others. Manny Malhotra, for example, frequently uses his hand to bat the puck away and win faceoffs. It's why he gets a ton of starts in the defensive zone. Now, though, it will cost a team two minutes of being down a man.Like I said, nothing that's going to dramatically alter the way the game is played, probably why the rules were pa sed with relative ease.Do you like Ben Niemann Jersey the alterations?
