Ah, man why is Don Cherry now on a kilt forum. Any credit he had as a hockey announcer has been lost since he became a media whore, doing any commercial they ask him too.

Kilted in Detroit! Now that's tough.... LOL
Kevin, the modern trap (as instituted by the Devils) is one that's a version of the flowing-overload from the 1960's. The big difference is that the talent pool in the NHL is such that there are not the number of breakaway skaters on each team. This means that the modern trap will frustrate teams into breaking it with mis-directed, long passes. Miss one pass, and the trap works. Make the pass, and you may just do some good. By negating the red line, there are opportunities to hit floaters (like the notorious Jaromir Jagr and Sergei Federov) and make the defense pull back.
As for the last time I saw a good open-ice hip check... one guy... Kevin Stevens. No elbows like Chelios, and no knees like Kasparitis. Good, clean, knock you on your mamma's backside checks! He's murder to play against, but REALLY knows how to take a guy out. Before that? Barclay, Bob and Billy Plager.
As for the shoot-out, I have NO PROBLEM with a new idea to bring the casual fans back to the game. With the labour dispute, and subsequent lock-out, they're gonna need whatever they can get. I really don't see it sticking around for more than a couple seasons, but we'll see. This one just seems to be a ploy for drawing fans back... although I'll love to see it while it's here.
