Idea for more scoring: penalty shot before every power play

[The Wizz]

Would this work?

If the NHL isn't interested in calling more penalties, why don't they make the penalties called more exciting?

The player that was wronged gets a penalty shot, and if he doesn't score, his team then gets a regular two minute power play.

Too complicated? A slap in the face of tradition? Let me know.

Nope. Too complicated.

Takes too much team out of the game.

 

[LordNeverLose]

Horrible

 

[BruinLVGA]

Horrible

I second the motion.

Counter proposal: Each team starts the game tied 10-10. At the end of each period, both teams get an additional 5 goals. Scoring would be through the roof!

I know people want more goals, but ideas like these are...

Hello summer.

I like the outside-the-box thinking but it's too much IMO.

Perhaps when a team is already shorthanded, if they take a second penalty, they can choose either be down 5 on 3 or face a penalty shot.

 

[RORbacon]

No..

 

[jw2]

Really dumb.

Can we make a separate forum for the "need more goals" people?

 

[kirby11]

Sorry, OP, but pass on this one.

IMO, just "more goals" created by gimmicks isn't exactly what the NHL needs. A more exciting product that highlights player skill and creativity is.

Penalty shots should only happen when they are warranted. Shootouts should go away forever too.

Stop ****ing with the game

 

[Del Preston]

Only on odd-numbered nights.

 

[Gnashville]

Each goal counts six points with a extra point shootout to follow. Also 3 points for hitting the post or crossbar, and two points to the defense if they kill off a 5-3 PP

Let this die please

 

[Volodya Krutov]

Something to increase goal scoring without killing the spirit of the game is to "change" the goalposts/crossbar structure of the net to improve the % of shots hitting the posts and going in. I don't know what is the average numbers of pucks that hit the post over a game but these shots just rarely ends up as a goal.

Imo the game will be healthier when we get more scoring 5 on 5, with higher quality goals. Boosting scoring by emphasizing special teams seems forced and will just lead to more diving and puts a bigger focus on refs to determine the outcome.

 

[Lord Helix]

Install a 3 point line.

 

[eviohh26*]

Worst idea ever.

 

[LeafFever]

That's changing the game far too much. Make the damn ice bigger!

I consider myself to be in the crowd that resists most change, but I wouldn't be opposed to this

Trim goalie equipment call obstruction and hooking fairly. That's all we need for scoring to get back to reasonable levels.
