Does anyone know the reasoning behind the new stick down during face-off rule? How is it different than what it was and why should I hate it?

It's the league's attempt at generating offense instead of calling their own penalties to begin with

Don't know the reasoning for the change, but previously it was the visiting team that had to have their stick down first I believe.

I'll just nod and smile...Seems pointless when you initiate a rule that has called back three goals already in the coaches challange

I haven't watched any non sabres games this year but I've noticed less linesman f***ery with regards to faceoffs. I'm sure it's happened but I don't recall seeing anyone getting thrown out of the circle.

Kane makes a nice clean hit and pops the glass out - no penalty, no injury, no more 1st period.

 

No suspension. It seems like Kane has more hits in the first period than the whole team combined.
