dylanmarsh, thanks for the link!
here's a summary of what it proposed...
Former GM and player Bobby Smith recommends a minor but original rule change that would help the lack of goals and wide-open play in today's NHL: Make the red and blue lines wider (i.e., make 'em each 6ft. wide -- currently, they're 1ft. wide).
This would artificially add several feet to the neutral zone and the offensive zone, giving attackers slightly more room and defenders farther to skate. Smith also suggests adjusting the offside rule so that other players can enter the zone when the puck carrier puts the puck onto, not over, the blue line.
