There was no 2004-05 NHL season due to a major pay dispute and strike action by the NHLPA. However that is now in the past and the 2005-06 season will start soon with several rule changes. The 3 most important ones are...
1 - The red center line will be removed to allow for longer passes without eliminating the 2 line pass rule.
2 - Goaltender equipment (padding) will be reduced.
3 - Should a game still be tied after the usual period of 4v4 overtime it will go to a shootout.
Anyway, technical stuff over so here's the most important start date.
5th October 2005
New Jersey Devils vs Pittsburgh Penguins
