With all the other changes I think this may be the one year that they stick to their no obstrution rules, however I'm reserving judgment until December.

And I hope that if the new rules stick for the regular season that they will call the game the same way in the playoffs.

2nd period
interference 0:03; interference 0:22;

3rd period
holding 6:49; holding 10:31;
too many men 12:02; holding 16:38.

Well that will certainly help with the flow of the game.
I didn't see the game but it does appear that either the players were getting the message as it progressed or the refs were ready to start the regular season by the end of the first period.
10-6-4

As usual, by the end of Janurary they'll be down to their one per month whistle exchange maintenance schedule.
