"There has not been a result in the tournament so far (decided by the new rule). If it's the old rule, it will still be the same result. Until that happens it's been normal so far," said the four-time Olympian ahead of his team's third round game tomorrow against Delhi Wave Riders.
Stacy said it did not appear that the players were trying to score more field goals than normal in a hockey game, though the rule was in the back of their thought process.
"The calibre of these players is such that they want to make the best decision and sometimes the best decision is to win the penalty corner. Penalty corner is a great skill to watch," said Stacy.
Though Mumbai have lost both their previous games, by 2-4 to Kalinga Lancers and 1-3 to Jaypee Punjab Warriors, Stacy was upbeat about the team's chances in the first of three back-to-back home games, against Delhi, as the team was in full force now.
