What About This Idea Coming Out Of The GM Meetings?

03/11/2014 at 9:28am EDT

from Mark Spector of Sportsnet,

Here’s one we didn’t see coming: St. Louis GM Doug Armstrong was touting moving the hashmarks further apart — from three feet in the NHL to the Olympic-sized five feet — to minimize obstruction off a faceoff.

“Lots of support for that in our (break out) group,” Detroit GM Ken Holland said. “Less obstruction, less interference off the draws. Probably would lead to less centre icemen getting kicked out … because of the jostling around.”

Who knew that was a problem?
