on the cycle Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Get rid of the trapazoid, get rid of the 3rd man in rule and get rid of the instigator rule and dont call stupid unsportsmanlike penalties when players are taunting to each other or just battling This Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoot the Puck!!!! Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Automatic penalty for lifting the puck over the glass in the defensive zone. Raise the glass so it's the same height as behind the net. That way if the puck is shot over, you know it's on purpose. Keep the trapezoid as a safe zone. Goaile can play puck outside the trapezoid but is not considered untouchable. Keep o/t and s/o but change point system to 3 point games, whereby you don't get a point for losing. Reg or O/T win :3 pts. S/O win: 2 pts. Reg or O/T loss: 0 pts. S/O loss: 1 pt. Change icing : Puck shot from inside your defensive zone blue line: ICING. This is usually where you are trying to ice the puck. Puck shot outside your blueline: NO ICING. This is usually a missed pass or bad judgement on part of player or linesman.

grail2011 Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Toss the instigator rule , and let goalies cross center !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoot the Puck!!!! Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 When a goalie gets a penalty he should have to go to the penalty box and be replaced by his backup for the two minutes. Interesting..........team goes down 2 men (both goalies in box)....hmmmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teen Icarus Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Any call or play can be video reviewable, and by doing so the coach uses their timeout. If the call needs to be changed, the coach keeps the time out. If the call stands, coach loses their time out. It will never happen as the NHL protects its refs like nothing else, but it's nice to dream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmm Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 I would keep the rule, but change the penalty for it. I think it could be a good rule, if treated like icing. No line change, face-off in your own zone. I think the rule is good. for those who do not remember, players used to flip the puck over the boards often to avoid icings. I would make the change that the team could use their time out to negate one "puck over glass penalty" per game, provided the time out was still available.

lmm Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 To give the appearance that all teams are competitive. There were only 6 teams below .500 last year. Without that, there would be 12...bad for "business". Coming out as "Sports Entertainment " has not been bad for the WWE. Treating your clientele as fools is not good for business either.

lmm Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 1. I like the Mike Smith rule, however I think they should not have immunity outside their crease, (that is why they have a crease)2. abolish the Gary Smith rule, it is counter to the idea of having goalies play the puck.3. institute the Billy Smith rule, ie, Goalies not penalized for protecting their crease, provided they stay below the neck and they players are actually in the crease.4. abolish the glove hand pass. Offense killer. Interesting they instituted the recent rule regarding gloved faceoffs but let the glove pass stand. Confusing.5. abolish the defensive slide6. do not let goalies return for icing.7. make goalies serve time in box, as mentioned above. Not the second goalie.

Baggins Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 and ditch the shootout Nope. I hate tie games. It's like getting a handshake at the end of a date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baggins Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 put a zebra in the booth to call flagrant dives and goalie interference, let the lone ref decide the tempo of the game Refs shouldn't "decide" anything. They should just enforce the rule book. I hate pick and choose reffing, make up calls, and dumbest of all - retaliation calls. If they actually called the first penalty there wouldn't be a retaliation! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Mind Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 One that I would love but would never happen: make all playoff series a best of 3. That way injuries don't factor in nearly as much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostsof1915 Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 - Drop the instigator rule. - 5 minute major for all stick infractions above the shoulder. (Remember how multiple generations kept the stick at waist level or on the ice?) - No contact with the goalie in the blue paint. But if the goalie is outside he's fair game. - No trapezoid. - Flipping the puck out from the defensive zone, does not lead to a penalty, but a faceoff in the zone and the defensive team can't do a line change. - Hand pass, means a whistle and the game is stopped. - Back to a one ref system. - Expand the ice surface to halfway between NHL and International size. At the end of every season. Have 3 players, the head coach, and GM from each team fly to a specific location. Bring every referee and linesman. Have the league go through the rulebook with video examples of each penalty. That way players, managers and officials know what IS a penalty, and what isn't. That way everyone is on the same page. (no pun intended). - Make helmets safer and enforce players strap them on. Maybe use memory foam or something to try and provide more protection. Also all pads should have some type of ultra tough gel cushions. So that a hit by an elbow pad doesn't injure the other player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyoung Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 Make it 4on4, take away offsides, icings and contact. We will call it roller hockey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Heffy Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 3 points for regulation win. Allow each team a certian amount of vetos for officials they don't want working their games Only penalize the diver on embellishment calls Implement a coaches challenge for especially egregious calls One ref only (there aren't enough acceptable quality ones to implement 2 ref system) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erkayloomeh Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 Interesting..........team goes down 2 men (both goalies in box)....hmmmmmwell not really. I've also petitioned for a three goalie system where teams have to dress three goaltenders and two have to share the game. You know, since the league wants so much parity.

jmahyoung Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 First get rid of the reffing style where penalties are not called for entertainment. It's completely subjective on behalf of the ref and can really screw some teams in critical times. All penalties must be called. If you don't want to kill penalties all game then stop hooking guys faster than you. Second the "Mike Smith Rule" when a goalie abuses his immunity to obstruct another player from the puck, he's called for interference or delay of game. No more shootouts. Ten minutes 4 on 4 overtime and if no one wins then no one gets a point. You can only gets points for winning. It's either a dive or a legit penalty. Have the guts to call one or the other. I really like this idea. Either you win in RT or OT or you get no points. That should solve the playing-for-a-point problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostsof1915 Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 2 points for a regulation win 1 point for an overtime/shootout win 0 points for a loss. Good teams that win in regulation should be rewarded. And a loss is a loss. AV would probably blow his stack if that happened, then you can't play for the 0-0 tie.

ABNuck Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 Sure but as long as you are automatically suspended for fighting after a clean hit or attacking a player for delivering clean one to your teamate. THIS. Perhaps the dumbest thing in modern hockey...the so-called "answering the bell" crap. It's gutless and instigated by punks who have no idea about true sportsmanship. Yes, if you clock a guy with a dirty hit, then you need to answer for it. But if a star player wants to disrespect the game by dangling with his head down, then he's gonna get what he deserves.

lmm Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 What's the Gary smith rule?the Gary Smith rule is the one that makes it a penalty for goalies to handle the puck on the far side of center ice.Back in early expansion days Gary played for the Seals, or was it the California Golden Seals, ( they had more names than the Canucks have jerseys). He used to catch the puck, drop it and head up ice. The NHL in its wisdom thought that it impinged on the integrity of the game and invoked the rule banning goalies from handling the puck north of center.Given the celebration of Marty Turco et al the rule seems dated.the only time I remember seeing it called, Alex Auld was skating to his bench in the second period and touched the puck just as he crossed center, nullifying a delayed penalty.
