I hadn't picked it up in the pre-season, but apparently a backman can now be penalised for attempting to raise an eyebrow with suspected intent of exhaling on the arms of a forward. It's a shame this rule wasn't in place in the 2002-2009 seasons. If it had been, BBBBH may have kicked 500+ goals a season (assuming a 67% accuracy rate). Instead, he was usually done for shepherding or dissent for protesting at being sodomised by a defender who was simultaneously hitting with an axe.
By the way, if Mattner lungeing into Riewoldt was a free, why wasn't Riewoldt's lunge into Mattner 2.4 seconds earlier a free?
