Board of Governor’s Meetings

  1. LTIR - not on agenda but discussed, Daly asked Exec oommittee to come back if they believe change neededf
  2. Rule changes -
    1. Can’t sit with leg over board for line change
    2. If goalie removed by concussion spotter, spare goalie gets warm up
    3. Coach challenge - can challenge any high stick - before had to be double minor or major
    4. Coach challenge - puck over glass - challenge if deflected - need to get right because if wrong go 2 men down
    5. Reviewed 3 on 3 but are content

Zach Hyman at 48 goals

McDavid 14 Assists away from 100 with 15 games to go. Been done 13 times, by 3 players.

Matthews 5 point game 57 G with 14 to play - prob not going to make 70, what do you think he will hit?

Will teams “load manage” players heading to end of season?
