By Aaron Holm -
Peverley missed some time at the beginning of this season while he was being treated for an irregular heartbeat which he was diagnosed with this past fall. Big stick-tap to the Stars training staff as well as the first responders whom got him off the bench and were able to get the situation under control. Their reaction to critical situations like these leaves me in complete awe. They do amazing work in horrible situations.
Last nights game in Dallas would be postponed, with the remainder of it to be made up at an undetermined later date. The hockey world came together to offer up their thoughts and prayers to the Stars organization and the Peverley family. It goes to show you, that although we fight, on and off the ice, post annoying gifs in other teams blogs and can generally be unpleasant towards one another at times, the hockey world tends to come together in times like these to show strength through support for those affected by tragedy.
Doctors and Jim Lites did address the media last night after Peverley was transported to the hospital and was stable and receiving treatment.

You forgot to get rid of the goalie trapezoid, otherwise these all seem like no-brainers to me. Hadn't thought much about adjusting faceoffs, but I like where he's taking that. No penalties for getting tossed though. There would always be somebody in the box then.
