Point/Counterpoint With Stan & Dave: Hockey Sticks

Stan Fischler and I continue our spirited debates about hockey for Game On!

In our lastest Point/Counterpoint, we address the use of composite sticks vs. traditional (wooden) sticks.

The Maven feels hockey players should use wooden sticks only, like baseball, but I couldn't disagree more. If the majority of players in the NHL are using the composite sticks, there's gotta be something to it.

Point/Counterpoint With Stan & Dave: SO Penalty Issues

It's been a very eventful series of debates between Stan Fischler and I so far.

In our latest edition of Point/Counterpoint, I suggest that players who finish overtime in the penalty box should not be allowed to participate in the shootout.

Stan, on the other hand, has a wacky idea.

Point/Counterpoint With Stan & Dave: OT Penalty Minutes

First we went head-to-head on mandatory visors and then Stan went overboard about playing NHL games in Europe.

Now, Stan is trying to stick it to my belief that there should only be one-minute penalties in overtime.
