1.) Every goal is reviewable. The do it in the NFL, and it does not slow the game down that much. In most instances it will take seconds.
2.) Any goal directed in with a skate is a good goal BUT, the skate MUST remain on the ice. You can't have guys kicking at pucks, it's too ****ing dangerous. In fact, I'd bring in a policy where if the review shows your skate left the ice to kick the puck it's "no goal" AND your team is issued a 2:00 penalty. That will be a cut and dry rule and keep players blades on the ice.
Not sure I like a no goal or leaves the ice penalty here-mostly because sometimes a player is picking up their feet while screening a goalie to avoid the puck hitting their skate and it deflects in anyway.
But I am okay with that part being discretion and am not sure how many goals would be called back so it may be a fair trade off.
7.) Get rid of the "broken stick" slashing penalty. A slash should be a stick on body foul, not a stick on stick foul. Slashing down on a players stick should be perfectly acceptable, calling the penalty ONLY when the stick is broken or the stick is knocked out of a players hands is FAR too subjective.
Not sure I agree-slashing and breaking an opponents stick does give you an advantage. But not all contacts that breaks a stick is a slash.
I think it's annoying when players drop their sticks to draw a penalty-that one shouldn't be.
8.) Bring in a coach's challenge system. Each coach gets 2 challenges per game. If you get the challenge wrong, your team is issued a 2:00 penalty. This will keep "mis-use" of the challenge system in check.
9.) The "intended to blow the whistle" rule is horse ****. Players play until they hear a whistle, the play is live until the whistle is blown. Why make **** up as you go along?
Not really a fan of coach's challenge but totally agree on getting ridnofnthe dead in the head rule.
Play should be real whistle to real whistle not when a ref decides he intended to blow it when he didn't.
