Which rule would you change or add in the NHL?

Question

I would drop that stupid area for the goalie behind the net!

Answer 1

1. the delay of game penalty for shooting the puck over the glass. if a player does it and its obvious than ya call it but when it sail in to the crowd down toward the other end it's kinda dumb how many games were lost to that last year because of this dumb rule also it a dumb rule to enforce when Glass is all different sizes in each of the 30 arenas

2. get ride of the trapezoid and make a new rule that if the goalie is out of his crease he's like any other player he's fair game you can check him without being called for goalie interference.

3. Instigator Rule get ride of it player had more respect for each other when they had it. Now players get away with stuff. if they didn't have that rule the Burtuzzi / Moore incident would have never happened because Brad May would have handle things.

Answer 2

there are a couple i would change, Firstly, im with you on that stupid Goalie area, its stupid and retarded.Seconf, when a player shoots a puck into the stands and gets called for delay of game, its a good rule, but needs more supervision, because sometimes a player is just trying to get the puck out of their zone, and dont mean to put it over the glass.Thirdly, i quite like the idea of no touch icing, less injuries to players, Marco Sturm hasnt been the same since he slammed horribly into the boards chasing an icing puck. And Lastly, the fine to a coach for a players that fight in the last five minutes of the third, why are we limiting fighting in the league, thats part of the glory of the game, Bettman's kinda a moron.

Answer 3

1) Make the goalie pads narrower (they should protect the goalie, not the net!).
2) Don't allow NHL players into the olympics...It should be for amateurs.

Answer 4

Limiting the goalie to where he can play the puck and the stupid rule if you shoot the puck over the ice it's a penalty.

Answer 5

I would like to see more fighting. It pumps up the team. I agree with you opn the goalie trapezoid. let them get their selves caught in trouble. That is what makes the game more interesting. And cut out most of the penalty callings from the ref..

Answer 6

i think of you makje a stable factor, yet then it may strengthen into, a minimum of i think of, how far into the line does the p.c.. ought to circulate? I propose, if it doesnt circulate it, in spite of the fact that it fairly touches the sting closer to the crease, no way is that a objective, yet there will be lots fo room for argument over it. rather, i could want if somebody ought to furnish me an extremely stable rationalization as to why off sides is a controversy. there may be an exceedingly stable reason, i ought to be switched over, its basically between the failings I dont think of I ever completely have been given. That, and that i do no longer think of its honest that a goalie can no longer head to the field. Thats retarded, I dont care if ti skill a severe scoring game and hassle-free photos...dont be a gadget, dont circulate interior the field, its fantastically hassle-free.

Answer 7

i agree on dropping the goalie area. Take away fighting completly it makes hockey look bad(trust me my borther had a hard time getting my school a hockey team because the were affraid of fighting) They need to be stricter on hits they should not be allowed to completly destory the guy thats not the point of checking and its not for entertainmant either

Answer 8

I'd make the blue lines twice or 2 1/2 times the width they are now. Makes it a little easier to gain the zone, fewer offsides, makes it a tiny bit easier to keep the puck in on the power play.

Answer 9

I would get rid of the instigator rule to allow more fighting. There are times when you need somebody to fight to stick up for a teamate. Like when your goalie gets run or something.

Answer 10

Personally, i would drop the same rule i hate for soccer, offsides. Thats like saying in basketball you aren't allowed to run a fast break.
