Nouvelles règles pour l'année prochaine

Citation :

NEW YORK (CP) - There might be more penalty shots during NHL games next season after the board of governors tweaked some rules Wednesday.

A player may now be awarded a free shot if he is fouled on a clear breakaway anywhere in the neutral or attacking zones. Previously, a penalty shot was awarded only when a player on a clear breakaway was fouled on the attacking side of the centre line.

Rules on faceoffs, interference and misconduct penalties were also tweaked.

All faceoffs must now be conducted at one of the nine dots painted on the rink. Some faceoffs, such as when a puck left the playing surface, were previously held on unmarked ice parallel to the dot nearest the place where the puck left the playing surface.

The interference rule was altered so referees can at their discretion assess a major penalty and a game misconduct when an injury results from an act of interference. Previously, only a minor penalty could be assessed for interference.

The term "gross misconduct" was eliminated from the rule book. A game misconduct will now be assessed, and accumulated game misconduct penalties can lead to fines or suspensions.

La règles sur l'interference elle est déjà officieusement appelé "the Chris Neil rule" comme était appelé "la règle anti-Brodeur" la règle du trapèze derrière la zone du gardien

Brind'amour (pour les face-offs) et Pronger (pour l'obstruction) vont faire la gueule la saison prochaine.

The quintessential team player is ready to be recognized with the ultimate individual honor.

When the Hockey Hall of Fame's selection committee meets today to announce this year's inductees, Scott Stevens will probably be tending to his garden or working on plans for the farmhouse he has been renovating in Somerset County. The former Devils defenseman said the days aren't long enough for the work that needs to be done on the property, but he will gladly step away for the call from Toronto that he dreamed about during his playing days.

"I'm very excited about it," Stevens said earlier this week. "There are probably two things I thought about during my playing career, and they were winning the Stanley Cup and the chance of making the Hall of Fame. To be recognized with other great players is a big thing."

Along with former Rangers captain Mark Messier, Stevens would seem a lock to be named to the Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility. Players must be out of the game for three years to be considered; Stevens and Messier played their last NHL games during the 2003-04 season, even though their official retirements did not come until after the 2004-05 lockout.

Ron Francis and Al MacInnis are expected to complete this year's class. Former Devils Igor Larionov and Claude Lemieux will almost surely have to wait.

"Obviously I played with Mark Messier for a short time at the end of his career," Atlanta Thrashers center Bobby Holik said from his Florida home. "There is not enough I can say about Scotty Stevens. He was the best defenseman in the league by far when I played with him (with the Devils from 1992 to 2002).

"I saw him every day. He was the type of player you'd build a team around. What an impact he had. Scotty and Claude (Lemieux) made the biggest impacts on me in my career."

Stevens, 43, played 22 NHL seasons, 13 of them for the Devils. He was captain of all three Stanley Cup championship teams (1995, 2000, 2003) and won the Conn Smythe Trophy as most valuable player of the 2000 playoffs.

Kenan voilà pourquoi on retire un maillot ! Naméoh !

Although he started his NHL career with the Washington Capitals and played one season in St. Louis before being awarded to the Devils in 1991 as compensation for the Blues' signing of free agent Brendan Shanahan, it was in New Jersey where Stevens established his legacy as one of the greatest defensemen of all time.

"At this point in my life, this is nice," Stevens said. "If there were no Stanley Cups, maybe it would have been different (in the eyes of the selection committee). I think being the captain on those championship teams was my greatest accomplishment. I guess this will almost be like the finishing touch on a long and fun career."

Peter Stastny and Viacheslav Fetisov, both former Devils, are in the Hall of Fame. But unlike Stevens, neither was at the peak of his playing days while wearing a Devils sweater.

"I'm very proud to be a part of this organization and to have won three Stanley Cups with them," he said. "To be the first Devils player to go into the Hall of Fame is something. It's something I'll remember and hope that others follow."

Stevens played 1,635 career NHL games and scored 908 points (196 goals, 712 assists). He never won a Norris Trophy, many believing he was robbed when Ray Bourque won in the closest voting ever in 1994. With the Devils, he had 430 points (93 goals, 337 assists) and 1,007 penalty minutes in 956 games.

He was named the hardest hitter in NHL history by The Hockey News several years ago.

"Scotty is The Captain," the Devils' Scott Gomez said. "He's it. Just watching him night in and night out you realized what a true competitor he was. One of the greatest ever. Such a leader. He didn't have to say anything."

Scott Stevens, Hall of Famer, will say it all.

Stevens recalled visiting the Hall in 2000.

"It was neat. I remember how big it was and all of the stuff they collected over the years," he said. "I found it interesting to see the stuff players actually wore."

He called it an honor to be going in with Messier, a bitter rival on the ice, even though Stevens would not yet be eligible had it not been for the lockout.

"No regrets. I think everything happens for a reason," Stevens said. "I've been very fortunate and lucky. Look at the St. Louis (compensation) thing. If that hadn't happened, maybe I wouldn't have won a Cup. This is neat. There is nothing more rewarding (than the Hall of Fame) when your career is over."

Cela dit il a des gros clients en face aussi leur première année d'élligibilité : MacInnis, Francis, ... en plus de tous les autres ...

(parceque Messier est quasiment certain d'en être ...)

Ba oui.. McInnis & Franchis vont y'aller aussi
ça fait 4 et hop
L'année prochaine y'aura du Larionov et du Claude Lemieux.. qui méritent mais pas devant ce prestigieux Top4

et mous' je te l'avais dit
