I can't stand the more goals argument. Go watch basketball if all you watch the sport for is the actual act of the puck/ball going into the net/hoop.
The best part about hockey is how incredibly hard it is to score goals, and watching guys sacrifice the body to both score and to prevent goals.
The only thing hockey needs to do is:
1. Make the regular season win-loss-tie, or at least introduce the 3pt system if you keep the current format.
2. Get rid of the dumbass trapezoid. It probably prevents more goals than it promotes. Goalies screw up all the time behind the net handling the puck, why keep them from doing so?
3. Pipe dream, but get rid of TV timeouts.
