I'm having a hard time figuring out how you get a player's helmet off outside of a hard check (and he doesn't have it done up tight) that isn't against the rules.

If the shootout is to stay, I want it to be 5 attempts for each team like soccer, then sudden death.

Currently with just 3 attempts, you are probably going to lose 80% of the time if you miss the first shot and the other team scores. With a best of 5, there are more scenarios and greater chance of a comeback, more drama.

Much the same way you get a glove off I'll bet

Yes. Unsportsmanlike would make more sense, but I think "You can't do that" would be far more comical.

Reduce the schedule by 10-12 games.

Wouldn't grabbing someone's helmet technically be holding?

1. No I like hockey and I never get why people complain that there’s too much hockey. Watch 10-12 less games if it’s too much.

2. They’d never go for that. That’s way too much money to lose.

The NHL is in the entertainment business. If people are entertained then they will watch. That is what counts. Maybe I should have worded it differently and used the word entertained rather than liked. I don't 'like' a shootout determining a game but I will almost always watch it because it is entertaining. And in the entertainment business being entertained = liking.

I'd rather the 3v3 be extended to 10 minutes to be honest, I don't think the NHLPA has an appetite for that however.

Ultimately the shootout serves its purpose as per the standings and tie-breakers, but I'm sure a lot of people would like to get rid of it.

From what I understand a large part of the incentive to bring OT to 3 on 3 was to get more games decided that route because its slightly more in the spirit of the game, but more importantly, games going the distance to the shootout really causes havoc with travel schedules at times.

C) OT is so intense and plays develop so quickly that the dying seconds usually matter
I don't think it's a thing either, or at least I haven't seen it. But, I do like the idea still. There have been a couple times I've seen OT end with someone still in the box, and thought it a good idea if they're not eligible for the shootout.

Literally no one would stop watching hockey if we did W-L-T 3-0-1 point system and no OT or shootouts at all.



Teams would absolutely pour it on in the dying minutes of the 3rd to go for all three points instead of a measly one point, and even if it ends in a tie, that would be more entertaining than keepaway and a skills comp.

Shouldn't have the shootout at all, but if you're going to I think; if you finish OT on the PK, you should have one less shooter in the shootout.

On average, I probably already do. By this time of the year I am completely burnt out on regular season hockey. Playoffs always come a month after fatigue has set in and I get pumped all over again. Would be great to eliminate the apathy altogether.

Less wear and tear on the players = higher quality hockey. Fewer injuries, less travel, and so on and so forth.

Absolutely, and it's more likely they increase games as they expand. It will always just be a personal pipe dream.

And hockey rinks didn't need to have netting behind the goals until a girl died from getting hit with a puck. How about we be proactive for a change this time instead of waiting for someone to die?

That's already a rule. They were enforcing it last year. Monahan and Komarov were the lead examples why the made it. Monahan was warned in last years preseason.

Last year Komarov was warned in a game then given a penalty even.

Why don't they call obvious hooks, slashes, dives and trips?



That's an odd hill of dirt you are choosing to die on.

Hill to die on? It's a question.

While they're at it, make a rule about mouth guards. Either wear one properly, or don't wear one at all. None of this chewing and dangling nonsense.

Kids are watching and they look up to these players. Helmets, visors, proper conduct, mouth guards, etc., from the players are copied by kids.
