[TheBannermen]

No ones going to agree to put two points in jeopardy for nostalgia.

 

[JayKing]

As lomg as every single team has to have 1 game with wooden sticks then sure.

 

[SolidusAKA]

Dont faux wooden carbon sticks exist? You could do something like that?

They should also play without helmets. Goalies have to go back to the old masks too.

That's like telling professional golfers that they have to play the British open with wood shaft clubs.
The majority of the players in the NHL today have probably never played with a wooden stick.

Classic.

also players should have to ride ostriches

You forgot smaller pads, net size, hacking, 2 line pass rule, 1 ref, like come on dont half ass your criticism man

 

[Maplebeasts]

That's like telling them to use the old skates where it was just shoes with the blades attached. Nostalgia is good in modertion

Old fashion looking sticks like they do with pads would work, not actual wood sticks.

What happens when we take some NHL young stars,
 like Jordan Eberle, Jake Gardiner and Morgan Rielly 
out of their comfort zones, and 
give them good old fashioned wooden sticks?

McGill 1890s? That was from a half century before he played his first game! Nice try.

Do you understand how that's different than asking players to use retro equipment?

Retro equipment? You must be 15.

Playing outside is worse than anything.
Cold, wind, snow, bad ice, site lines, new boards, new equipment, etc

More NHL players have played more games with wood sticks than they've played games outdoors in their lives.
