The title says it all. Enjoy one of each.

The link: NHL Tries To Woo Fans By Increasing Scoring With Bigger Nets, 3-Point Line
The thought: The finals continue today, and the Pens have a chance to get right back up on that horse.
Getting scored on first is deflating, but to have it be a bank-off-the-back-wall goal is like having holes in your parachute. To top it off, King James and the Cavs lost to Dwight Shoulders and the Magic. The only thing to do now is stare at kitten pictures, laugh at that link, and settle in with Mr. Redenbacher Salt ‘n Pepper popcorn for Game Two! Enjoy folks.
I'm a hockey player turned writer. After playing for Alaska Anchorage in the WCHA (NCAA), I carried on with an NHL tryout (New York Islanders in 2007) before spending a couple seasons in the AHL/ECHL (last year was 2008-09). My father, Bob Bourne, won four Stanley Cups with the Islanders in the '80's, as did my fiancee's dad, Clark Gillies. I'm now the web editor for theScore's hockey blog "Backhand Shelf."
