    I do like the talk of changing OT to be longer or included more 4v4/3v3 time. No doubt in my mind the players will go for that. I doubt there's a guy in the league who will sit there and say they think winning an OT game proves who the better team is.
    Agreed but they have to do something to deal with those concussion (This is getting crazy...injuries are part of the job but this is too much here) Changing the players equipment seems like a better idea though (Too damn hard...those hitting don't feel a thing but those getting hit= KO ) and IMO...a 3 vs 3 OT would be more exciting to watch than a shoot-out.

    I agree... the return of the red line is too much of a risk to the game being any fun to watch. We'll have a lot of dead puck, sloooooow, St Louise style games where people just don't give a crap.

    Changing the gear and having zero tolerance for head-shots is the best solution if the NHL is serious about cracking down.

    There's also a bit of talk about a hybrid touch-icing rule where you race to the dots... sounds just stupid. Icing just has to be a respect thing.

    Good to see Markov back (and surviving his first game ...first game since November 2010!)

    yeah I hate the idea of putting the red line back in, slows the game down. I would like to see them get rid of the trapezoid though. Let the goalies handle the puck, I feel like the trapezoid creates more situations for injuries something that the NHL is looking to decrease. Personally I like the shootout but if they wanted to get rid of it for 3-3 OT or 5 min of 4-4 then 5 min of 3-3 I would be in favor of it. 3-3 hockey is pretty fun to watch.


    I am fixed

    I agree with all of this

    I had an idea with icing - it should be the players on the ice when the play is called for icing must stay ... that way if a player can get to the bench and change before the whistle blows is ok. However - if the new player is not on the ice when the whistle blows - the team has the faceoff shorthanded and the player can join the play as soon as the puck is dropped.

    If the new player is on the ice before the tired player gets off and the whistle blows - then he is not allowed to stay - OR - and this will never fly... the team is assessed a too many men on the ice penalty.

    The reason that I thought this - would be that goalie's would then be able to play the puck before the icing and try to catch the players heading for the bench.

    just a thought

    Thanks to Goofy for my sig

    Yeah, because it didn't work for the 70 odd years that there was a red line

    Just listen to any one of the old media guys talk about this on sports radio. I haven't heard a single person in favor of it. It's a really, really bad idea that will kill neutral zone play, just in hopes that it will prevent concussions

    It took talks from 1980 to 2005 for someone to actually smarten up and take it out. It's no wonder the IIHF hasn't had it for 30 years or so.

    No, no, I'm all in favor of changing the rules to the game every few years or so, it's awesome

    I really hope they bring back the glowing puck too

    I also hate the fact that some shoot-outs (which are now completely boring BTW thanks to using them to decide OT, but I digress) go too long. I think that if it's still tied after 4 players take their shots in the OT shoot-out, they should play Rock, Paper, Scissors, Lizard, Spock

    They should also make the nets bigger, we need more scoring for the ADD crowd because the fastest team sport on the planet still isn't entertaining enough.

    Plus, when there is a disputed goal, instead of going to instant replay, I think the 2 goalies should have a fistfight at center ice, that will decide if the goal counts or not

    I get your disdain for the constant changes, but I think you're underestimating the power the red-line would have. We're not talking about a goofy little change here. The game is FINALLY at a great pace for the first time since before the lock-out. The red line would kick the legs out from under the table. Return of the 'Dead-Puck Era.'

    You're against nerfing the league to get rid of concussions, but that's exactly what this move would be for.

    I still say leave touch icing and the open neutral zone alone, get rid of shootouts and football gear in the NHL, and leave everything else the way it is. The tweaking isn't going to stop ever though which as you illustrated, is annoying

    It passed...but won't go through so don't worry GF The NHLPA has to agree with it remember? ....with the CBA expiring those 2 won't agree on pretty much everything till its done and signed (I'd rather see those new rules pass than a lockout btw...)
    BTW: Crosby WILL play against the Rangers Thursday.
