Salary Cap (rule needs to be more modified, than scrapped). 5. Teams receiving public subsidies. 6. Broadcasting Don Cherry 7. Shoot out OT. Regular season should have the same rules as the playoffs.

Down by the River Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Anze Kopitar is really overrated. He used to be kind of underrated, and then everybody over-corrected. He is not elite in any particular skillset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaner Posted September 19, 2017 Author Share Posted September 19, 2017 Ooh, some of these are good ones. I think well Horvat is good, if he's your #1C, then there is no way you're going to win the cup. He's much better suited as a 2C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fanuck Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 League should contract, not expand. Bettman has virtually no real authority/decision making power - everything he's done whether it's good or bad for the game has come at the direct result of the owners orders. I don't care about growing the game in the US or internationally. Our refs are not the best in sports - they are often spiteful, vendictive and downright incompetent. The league rigged the playoffs so Dallas could win it that year because it was an emerging market. US teams get preferential treatment in many many ways. I'm worried Boeser is overrated as are many of our prospects and we'll toil in mediocrity for eternity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smithers joe Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 my only pet peeve is the salary structure. players are always saying, they want to get paid what their worth. that goes both ways. i'ld rather see players earn their salaries. if players get paid what they are worth, ticket prices wouldn't be so high. if a player has more than one sub par year, their pay check should reflect it.

48MPHSlapShot Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 AHL experience is vastly overrated. I really only think that high end young players should be sent to the AHL if they prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that they're not NHL ready.

Florida, choice of New Jersey or Islanders, and Arizona. - If Quebec City wants a team, buy Carolina. - If Seattle wants a team, buy Vegas when it hopefully fails. - I also predict Vegas will be popular until the NFL moves in. Once that's done, the team will struggle to fill seats. I dont think your second statement is all that unpopular.... ......except with NHLPA.

Darius Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 1. Change the playoff format. First overall should play 16th, Second Overall should play 15th overall etc. Who cares about the travel. 2. The league should go back to the old draft lottery odds (prior to the terrible cOilers of deadmonton raping the system) and then implement a rule where you cant win the lotto more than 2 times in 5 years. Thanks mostly to the terrible cOilers of deadmonton the league changed the draft lotto rules which resulted in teams like Vancouver and Colorado not even getting to pick top 3 last year.

I have trouble believing that 24 owners are just waiting around for the 7 "popular" kids to make all the decisions for them and tell them how the league will be run. These owners are all egotistical billionaires....they didn't get to be billionaires by just laying there and taking it up the azz from others. you're forgetting that the league bureaucracy is a small collection of close friends and family connected to mostly O6/eastern teams. When the league office has a close connection to Boston e.g., do you really think "fair" is possible when it comes to guys like Marchand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JM_ Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Mine is the new rule changes on "slashing" and face-offs. These are designed to favour less experienced players like McDavid (who sucks on the dot) and is going to be able to draw a penalty now on any stick that even comes close to contact. I bet you a coke that we'll see penalties drawn by him and Matthews for sticks that don't even make contact with them on video review. It also makes it extremely easy for the refs to call penalties late in games too, another thing we will see. The face-off changes are even worse, they are going to be kicking out and penalizing better face off Cs which will allow McPouty and Matthews to do better on face-offs.

goalie13 Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 I don't think you should get credit for a goal or an assist unless the puck touched your stick. For example: a player standing in front of the net has the puck rebound off his a$$ / arm / face / leg / wherever and go in the net. You aren't allowed to intentionally use a body part to redirect the puck in the net so in order for that goal to be legal it must be unintentional. So if it was unintentional, why should he get credit for the goal? The guy who banked the puck off another guy in order to score should get the credit.

Brad Marchand Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Crosby isn't the league's biggest whiner and hasn't been so for many years now. He's still carrying that reputation from his rookie season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhippy Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 1. I think the belief that TSN/Sportsnet give to much leaf coverage is overblown. It's the largest demographic in canada and fits their corporate head offices being in an eastern time zone. Sucks but meh 2. I think Calgary is building a great team and I am pissed that we didn't take Olatts Mattson (was screaming for him 3 years ago) and traded the 2nd round pick that became Andersson 3. The Canucks deserved to lose the 2011 SCF. Boston just beat us in to the dirt. We HAD the players to counter but management and coaching NEVER made the changes to the line up in game 6 and 7 to reflect that. 4. Mike Gillis did a world of good for this team which benning came and messed up in part. 5. Our prospect pool isn't nearly as awesome and deep as people really say it is. We're 2 good drafts in when other teams are 4 and 5 and actually competing. 6. I am entertained when I watch Oilers games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infinitecarnage Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 get rid of the loser point and the shootout. 5 on 5 ot for 7 minutes. if it ends in tie, each team gets 1 point. move on to the next game. it's regular season, no need to overdramatize it. 3 on 3 ot is an absolute embarrassment. bring back the old playoff format with a slight change; no divisions, just conferences. top 8 teams in each conference with the highest point total make the playoffs, not because you win your stupid division. i miss the old, baggy, greatly designed nike jerseys. hate the reebok era, hate almost every team's jersey in the league, even the ones that didn't change their logo i can't stand non-hockey markets having nhl teams. relocate and fold and reduce to a league of 24 or 25 teams asap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tre Mac Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Alright, you asked for it: Our jerseys are hideous We have the worst fanbase in the league(whiny trolls, bandwagoners,suits, etc.) Benning will be fired in the offseason The product on the ice is terrible to watch, only the dead-puck era was worse Hockey needs fighting and enforcers Henrik Sedin is overrated in terms of leadership I hate the new OT rules, just do 5min OT bring back ties Firing Gillis was a colossal mistake Ah felt kind of good getting that off my chest.
