Let's see:

1. When a team loses a "good way", we'll give them credit for half a win (no problem)

2. To decide multi-hour full tilt games, league will use a ridiculous gimmick individual skills competition that has nothing to do with a regular hockey game. (no problem)

3. Since that wasn't stupid enough, league will double down and add a second 3 on 3 gimmick to decide games, I mean to decide who will get credit for a win and who will get credit for half a win. (no problem)

4. Everybody will rave about how great and exciting 3 on 3 is, while failing to point out that the reason it seems that way is that the 60 minutes that preceded it are generally so dull and boring. (no problem)

5. League will pretend to care about head injuries, but tolerate and mildly encourage two huge athletes to pummel each other in the head because it's "part of the fibre of the game". (no problem)

6. League will have an annual all-star game that nobody really cares about and play it in a way that has absolutely nothing to do with the style of any other game in the history of ever because a final score of 15-13 isn't a farce at all. But it doesn't matter because nobody could actually sit through the full 60 minutes of it anyway. (no problem).

7. Deciding that the showcase all-star "game" won't really be a "game" at all and instead be a contrived 4 team tournament that has nothing to do with anything (no problem)

8. For years and years, league will announce the rosters for the all-star game and you'd need to form an expedition to find a press release that draws any interest or brings publicity to the league. (no problem)

9. Because people vote for it, an irrelevant John Scott will be take 1 whole spot out of 50 guys and be an honorary captain for 3 hours at one meaningless game. Oops, I forgot, it's not even a game.

BOYCOTT!!!!!!!! FARCE!!!!!!!! THEY'RE RUINING THE INTEGRITY OF THE LEAGUE!!!!!!
