im only a casual hockey fan, but the one thing i hate is tie games. nothing worse than sitting through a game to have it end up in a tie....wheres the resolution? id say go with a shootout, but then it mostly comes down to which team has the better shooters, and not necessarily the best players. maybe OT1 starts as 4 on 4, and OT2 goes down to 3 on 3 or something like that.
its gotta attract TV viewers and casual fans, and that means a little more scoring. what to do to up scoring? hell, i dunno....chuck out the 2 line pass call....introduce no-touch icing...make more penalties penalty shot worthy..??
