The Illegal Rule That Forced the NHL to Change Forever

Did the NHL actually save hockey by changing the rules, or did they accidentally kill the heart and soul of the sport just to please corporate sponsors? In this video, we are breaking down the biggest rule changes in NHL history, comparing the brutal, lawless 1990s "Clutch and Grab" era to today's lightning-fast, high-scoring modern era. From the infamous 1999 Brett Hull crease goal to the death of the hockey enforcer, the removal of the two-line pass, and the invention of the goalie trapezoid rule—we cover it all. We look at both sides of the coin: Did the new era make the game electric, or did it turn a legendary, gritty sport into a soft entertainment product run by corporate accountants?
