+ - on both sides that to me kinda even it out.
bigger rink: Skilled faster players will be given time to make plays. Less injures because of less physical play. You will see more speed. Easier to fallow, for those new to hockey.
smaller rink: The hitting!, you just don't see that much hitting in international. quick plays because you have to make them with less room. Goes along with last point but the game appears faster.

I like the fact that we have a different rink/game then international play.
Funnest game I have been to was in Luleå of the SEL, but that was more to do with the fans.
I do like the way the refs called the 2010 Olympics, I would pick that part of International play over anything.
