1. Put back the red line - No. Game is infinitely better with no red line. Although my 80's NHL dad wants it back in. Not sure why.
2. Remove or inverse the trapezoid. - Remove and make goalies playing the puck behind the line fair game.
3. 3 on 3 overtime - Yes. Wouldn't mind if they did a full 10 min 3v3 vs the staggered version they are coming out with. Skip the 4v4. With 10 min of 3v3 games are almost guaranteed to end during that time.
4. Unlimited 4 on 4 overtime (full intermission after 3rd period) - I'd take it, but they won't go for it. The games have to end.
5. Eliminate shootout (and replace with what? ties?) - Don't mind the shootout. Just don't want points for losing in it (or OT)
6. 5 shooters instead of 3 in the shootout - Meh. Wouldn't change much but make the SO longer.
7. 3 points for regulation win - Only if they continue to give points for losing, and if so, the points add up to 3 regardless (IE if you get a point for losing in OT/SO, the winning team only gets 2 pts)
8. Eliminate fighting (game misconduct) - Don't mind automatic ejections for fighting, but it's pretty well gone already anyways.
9. Larger nets - Absolutely not. Nothing wrong with the amount of scoring in the NHL, plus this is a terrible way to try and increase it.
10. Must serve full two minutes when penalized (regardless of # of goals scored) - This is interesting. Would allow.
11. Shorthanded team cannot ice the puck. - Also interesting. Would allow.
12. Penalty ends when shorthanded goal is scored. - I also don't mind this.
13. Delayed penalty, offending team must exit zone in possession of the puck to stop play. - Kind of weird. What zone? They could be in any zone. In the Ozone, do they have to skate back? This one gets annoying because what "possession" means is different depending on the situation. Sometimes they blow it down when a player one hand pokes the puck. Other times they don't unless the player has full control (which is what it's supposed to be). If the refs call this consistently no changes need to be made.
14. Abolish over the glass penalty. - Nope I like it. They are all accidental now, but it's definitely used as a way to stop the play without the penalty. Purposely throw the puck over the glass? That's definition of "delay of game". We don't give leeway for accidents on other penalties, why should this be different? Having it challengable by the Coach I would be ok with.
15. Team gets extra point for scoring 5 goals or more. - No. That's ridiculous.
16. Eliminate blue lines, must bring puck across red line but once it's across, passes can go anywhere. - Not a fan. It also would bring the red line back in and make what were two line passes into offsides. Makes the Ozone bigger, but I'm not sure that helps offence as much as the stretch pass does.
17. Players can ONLY change on the fly not allowed at whistles. - Interesting, but no.
18. Eliminate faceoffs after offsides, just clear the zone and allow the defending to bring puck across their own blue line. - Also interesting. This is essentially what delayed offside is, but what happens if a player ignores the delay offside? Something has to. Penalty? Maybe take the faceoff all the way down automatically?
