ken kaniff Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 So the NHL is looking for way to increase scoring around the league. They want to make the nets bigger, but as Carey Price said this may increase goaltender groin injuries. So aside from increasing the size of the net here are some of my ideas to increase scoring. Get rid of the trapezoid - Most goalies in the game today aren't great puck handlers. if the trapezoid is removes more goaltenders may be caught out of their net. Goalies cant handle the puck behind the net at all - This would greatly affect coverage and their ability to stop plays. Icing on Penalty Kills - This would increase the PP percentage of all teams by quite a bit. Smaller Goalie Sticks - Perhaps instead of the huge stick they currently use a more sleek slimmer version would increase the gaps in the 5 hole and such. Goalies will get use to it after a while but still it increases the space to shoot. any other ideas? there are just thoughts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then they kill a few seconds and don't have to set up to defend entry, just take another face off. Would make for boring hockey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chon derry Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 restricting a good puck moving goalie to the trapezoid doesn't help. there,s some good puck handling goalie,s out there that could change the game,s flow, also won't have to rely on the hybrid icing rule. it,s a non factor for goalie,s who can't move the puck, and then the hybrid icing stand,s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuxfanabroad Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 I wanna stick Price into the BTTF Delorean so he can go back to the 'Gump Worsley era'! No mask Carey..don't muss up the hairstyle. Lots of changes are needed. Net size is one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuxfanabroad Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 ***RADICAL/Extreme idea*** Vary net height, in relation to 'tender's height.. I KNOW they'd never do this-but I'd love to see it. Already tired of XXXL-sized gt's. No more acrobatic Rogie Vachons... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nuxfanabroad Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Most mid-wk, Ariz/CBJ 2-1 sleepers are as exciting as a dental appt..now cue the league-apologists who'll tell you a "well-played" 1-0 barn-burner, is better than a "sloppy, poorly-played 6-4, goal-fest!" THEN they'll say.."You must not like hockey, I guess?" Ahh, caught in a recurring CDC time-loop... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tre Mac Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Penalize blocking shots, goalies cannot leave crease, goalies cannot freeze the puck unless his entire team is within the defensive zone, and ffs call hooking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Who said the NHL is looking for ways to increase scoring? The scoring is fine the way it is. If you want to see a lot of scoring - then change sports and go watch basketball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like all these. As I have said before, ban leaving both feet/skates, including goalies. How many 2-1s or 3-1s are lost by a player sliding on his belly? is that a "hockey play"?

Aircool Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Replace the puck with a tiny bouncy ball, I dare a coach to try and develop a defensive system for a bouncy ball..... #BettmanPlease Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ballisticsports. Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 just thinking quickly , If they returned to putting the red line back in play, it may force defensive errors, and if you add to it, that offside passes made from the defensive zone will return back to the defensive zone with no defensive line change and adhere to the hurry up puck drop (drop it with only 1 centre present if necessary, like it had been done before) I think would produce more goals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Kneel Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 I think the easiest way to increase scoring right away with out changing anything (net size, moving lines etc) is to make all power plays 4 on 3. -more ice = more scoring propose it GMJB bring it home baby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ojibwa72 Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 How about making goalie equipment like it was 25 years ago. That should shrink goalie size and slow them down with the weight they had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
