Players are already allowed to redirect the puck, even in the crease.Players should be allowed to redirect the puck using their skate so long as it takes place outside of the crease

For offsides, I'd like to see the rule changed to skate on/behind the line, regardless if it's in the air.No. Bad idea. Offsides are fine the way they are.
They're not penalized. If you're in the first period, 5 on 5, and you take a shot that is frozen by the goalie or have zone pressure, you don't start the next period in their zone. Why should the PP be any different? If you clear the puck on the PP and the period ends, why should the PP get a faceoff in your own end?Don't allow icing by the PK team. Would force them to carry it out of the zone and create more scoring on the PP.
If a team is on the PP at the start of a period, the opening faceoff is in the attack zone not at centre ice. As it is now, the PP team is penalized by the fact the period ends and they have to face off at centre.

I can get on board with this. Gives teams and incentive to go for it in regular time. OT and shootout are gimmicky so they shouldn't be of equal point value for that kind of a win. Oilers won last night but I still hate the 3 on 3 scrimmage OT format.2 points for a regulation win
1 point for an overtime/shootout win
0 points for a loss
It can be wider, but they can already have their skate on the blue.Make the blue lines wider, and change the rule to allow players to have their skate on the blue paint, rather than having to stay on the white in the neutral zone before the puck gets in.
This would make rushes more fun to watch, and also give the D more space to hold the zone once they’ve gained it

Players are allowed to have their skate on the blue line when entering the zone. The Blue line is considered part of whatever zone the puck is in so if the puck is in.Make the blue lines wider, and change the rule to allow players to have their skate on the blue paint, rather than having to stay on the white in the neutral zone before the puck gets in.

Agree 100%, not sure what the league should do about OT and shootouts though. I think going back to ties after regulation is out of the question at this point, but maybe ties after a scoreless overtime period is a possibility? Whatever they do, they need to get rid of the shootout.I can get on board with this. Gives teams and incentive to go for it in regular time.

He's saying if the PP starts at the beginning of a period, not just if it carries over to the next period. Every PP is supposed to start in the offensive zone but if someone takes a minor penalty after the buzzer and a fresh PP starts at the beginning of the following period, the faceoff is still at center ice.They're not penalized.

I'm pretty sure the rule is "A player is on-side when either of his skates are in contact with, or on his own side of the line"I thought you needed one skate in the white before the puck crosses, unless you’re the guy with the puck

Can't hear the sound at work. What does he say?
But the stoppages, my god. The PK unit would just ice the puck regardless anyway. A single powerplay would take 30 minutes of real time. With probably not much increased scoring.Nope. Just nope.
I wouldn't mind seeing icing called during PKs.

If you're skating into the zone, the top of the line enters the new zone. If you're skating back to your own zone, or if the puck comes out, the bottom of your line exits that zone. However, when exiting the zone, you're skate makes no difference.Ya but their is a difference between enetering the zone, and holding the zone I think.
When enetering the zone the players with out the puck need to have at least one skate in the white in the neutral zone. Once the puck is in the zone and on side, the D have to get it back into the white of the neutral zone, for anyone to be off side again.
