Excellent Oly hocley ratings - Will the Yanks finally catch on?

Great rid of the SO while we are at it.

Shootouts determine the bottom playoff seeds, which is silly.

Would YOU end a baseball game with a home run derby?

Plus teams play for OT/SO for the guarantee point. IF you lose you shouldn't get shit.

I wish I could run the NHL.

Rule one, no Jew lawyers from NY shall ever be commish.

It isn't Bettman standing in the way so much as the NHLPA.

How are you going to get them agree to 1/3 less dues?

Interesting. I don't know shit about NHL politics.

Sell some cookies instead? Bobbleheads? I dunno.

Get rid of points altogether. A win is a win and a loss is a loss.

Let's pool some of our Canadian tax money together and buy the NHL. Business meetings will be held on a vBulletin forum and decisions will be made via stickied poll threads.

I'm a fucking genius.

It is a union like any other.

It would be like Ford telling the CAW they need to eliminate 1/3 of the line workers to improve quality.

fat chance.

They dont even have anyone running the NHLPA, they fired Paul Kelly, they NHL could probably get a good deal with the players if they didn't have that idiot Bettman leading the negotiations.

Some wealthy Canadian family needs to buy the whole thing. Throw enough money at the player's association to shut them up and fix the mess that the silly Americans created.

 

[tullamore]

I blame Peter Pocklington, if he never traded Gretzky to the Kings. Expansion and all these teams in the sun belt would have never happened. How the fuck does Nashville have a team. Christ almighty.

Matty, they need to play less regular season games, this would make for a better product night in and night out.

Also bring back the old divisions and playoff format.

I like the idea of bringing back the old divisions for sure.

Contract 6 teams max and relocate 4 to hockey markets.

More grooming of junior aged players in the AHL and not sent back to Jr when they are 19 - 20.

20 min OT period with 4 on 4.

 

[tullamore]

I am not a fan of the 4 on 4, I understand it opens up the game, but I am just not a fan when you play regulation with one set of rules and OT with another.
