Yo Boo! - Vitamin E - 01-31-2008

There's a rumor going around that Slapshots in the shoot out are being looked at as a danger to goalies.

One of the franchises that is being looked at are you Flames. The worry is that teams will put players with the hardest shots on the ice early in the shootout to 'soften' the goalie to give fags like Iginla a better chance of scoring later.

Randy 'The Ass Man' Shaver from KARE11 had a worry that the NHL would look to rule out slapshots entirely from the NHL. Saying that players during the game don't really get a chance to stop 10 feet out wind up and let a blaster go without defensemen pressuring the shooter to hurry. Then he compared shootout slapshots to the injuries sustained by college pitchers facing batters using aluminum bats.

Thoughts?
