I find hockey to be very boring the last few years. I watch nothing outside the Flames, not even playoffs. Even the Flames this year I'll watch a period here and there.

It's really not a great product. 5 on 5, suffocating defensive systems, bad passing. You'd basically have to watch 10 games to get 1 decent game and maybe one really nice play in that decent game.

I really enjoy the open ice 3 on 3. 4 on 4 is not bad but even that is being coached now. 3 on 3 allows players to be creative.

I don't care what the traditionalists say, those are dying off anyways. To keep the interest and bring in new fans NHL better move over to more open ice, 3 on 3.

I want to see breakaway, post to post saves, end to end rushes. I don't if the scoring increases or not but chances and creativity has to.
