1) The idea behind increasing scoring is improving the actual play, not redefining non-goals as goals.
2) This goes completely against increasing scoring as it will allow players to "accidentally" shoot it over again. Also, I don't know why people think the refs should have discretion on every call. If you high stick a guy its a high stick, you need to be in control of your stick at all times. If you put your free hand on an opponent its a holding. Refs don't get to decide if something is a penalty so much as they decide whether or not something actually happened or not.
3) Agree completely, hate the shoot-out.
4) Indifferent here, I see the pros and cons either way.
5) The refs already swallow their whistles too much as is. A horrible non-call that takes away a scoring chance ruins the flow more than if it actually gets called. I hate how people say that a ref is "making the game all about them" when they actually call penalties. Non-calls influence the game just as much as soft calls if not more.
then that horrible non call should be included in the 100% a penalty catagory shouldnt it?
