People who complain about hockey celebrations, or about players who smile too much in interviews. It's still a freaking game.

"Mason Raymond"

Shootouts

Kerr/Simmer combination is brutal, just awful. I try not to complain too much because everyone hates broadcast whining in the GT, but they actually lessen my enjoyment of the game

"With numbers"

Chicken winging to draw a holding-the-stick penalty

Nick kypreos taking himself too serious, and the ever present "Blue steel" poses for the camera.

Allowing the oilers to use the term rebuild. Let's just all agree that the suck and will for a long long time

Has anyone mentioned the "Forever Flame" garbage; really hoping Burke ends it altogether.

The assumption that anyone who trains with Gary Roberts is some super athlete. Roberts isn't even the head trainer, he works with a team that has been training top athletes for years and got Roberts to attach his name for publicity. Amazing that the top guys in the NHL don't train with him.

I'd like to ban the overbearing expectation of perfection we place on our young players...especially when these kids play for Canada.

It's a Canadian thing I get it...

Get rid of the "loser point". I hate it.

2 points - regulation / OT win
1 point - shootout win
0 points - loss of any kind

The shootout and the delay of game penalty for shooting the puck over the glass. It should be treated the same as an icing instead.

I will show my age here...

Was a time that you could tell a guy's position by his number.

1 and 30 and over...Goaltenders

2 through 7 D-men

8 through 29 Forwards.

Was a tradition...now lost.

Oh...and as far as banning...

besides my prior entry of mascots (Down with "Tommy Hawk!, an embarrassment to true Blackhawk fans!)

Throwing Slimy sea creatures onto the ice (or rodents)...the ONLY thing that should ever be thrown from the stands are hats!
