NHL general managers came to Florida at this time last year looking for clarity and consistency on goalie interference -- in between their golf games, fishing trips and pool-side chats, of course.
They got it when the decision was made that the league's hockey operations department would have the final say on netminders getting bumped or run over in the crease.
GMs opened their meetings at the posh Boca Beach Club resort on Monday by going over numbers from this season to date that show scoring, even-strength goals and comebacks are up, while hitting has remained at the same level compared to recent years. Managers also broke out into smaller groups to discuss a variety of topics, including pucks crossing the goal line after the whistle, high-sticking infractions that warrant two- or four-minute penalties and goalies losing helmets during play.
