So no to 4x4 and a noner to International ice.

Maybe we need to encourage coaches to be more innovative instead of falling back on defensive positions and winning games 2-1 and 3-1 to save their jobs.
Getting rid of the loser point would be a start. As long as it's there, coaches will play it safe to ensure a point. Can you imagine if the NFL did this? During a tied game teams would just run out the last 5 minutes to ensure overtime.

NHL is so gimmicky. Just have a simple W-L-T table. If no goal after 10 minutes of 4 on 4 overtime, it's a tie.
