What Stupid Or Unreasonable Thing Do You Want To See In Hockey/NHL?

[GodEmperor]

Ideas I had:
Every 10 years you merge 2 teams and they play 20 games in both "home" locations, 8 teams make the playoffs
Gold medal winning teams get to send up to 4 teams next tournament that don't play each other until the finals
You fine boring players for giving the same old answers after games

I'd like to see a clean hit not turn into a pansy fest on the ice.

Far fetched, I know.

 

[snipes]

Hits to the head Scott Stevens style.

It's irrational and I don't really want to see players get hurt and I'm glad we're protecting the players. But as a fan and someone who grew up in an era where that side of the game was encouraged there are times I miss some of the real nastiness hockey used to have.

 

[TheAngryHank]

Banning visors , I miss face washes.

 

[Wo Yorfat]

Tiger goalies.

 

[bukwas]

Shock collars on refs.

 

[Royal Thunder]

Give the coaches megaphones

 

[BM14]

I'd like my sticks to not be regularly priced at $300/each, too.

Another unreasonable request.

Exotic dancers performing on the ice between periods. Would that be an unreasonable request?

 

[Jaleel619]

Two teams teaming up to win champsionships/tank for top picks and swap roles every 5-10 years, lopsided trades galore, 2 cap spaces, and then 3 teams get together to beat the two teams and it keeps compounding until its basically just the all stars of the west vs east and then teams start sabotaging and hiring spies and infilitrate other teams plans until Canada finally builds a wall and makes their own mega team and that's how world war 3 started everybody.

No I think it's completely reasonable, as a matter of fact, I have forwarded your idea to my contacts in the NHL (many).

i like the behind the scenes GM stuff about player trades, evaluations, hirings and firings. Maybe there are cameras rolling during the season for every team, they keep all that footage secret. Then in the offseason all the footage is released so it gives us something to mull on during the summer.

 

[jetsforever]

No commercial breaks

 

[Rubi]

I think they should place an open broadcast mic on both benches during the game. That would add color to the games. Nothing like a little reality TV. Leave the refs mics on too.

Edit: forgot about the penalty boxes. That should be real interesting.

 

[solidprospect]

No refs.

 

[kingsholygrail]

Line brawls!

 

[Batmike]

no offsides, no goalies and everyone wears goalie gear.

 

[Zombotron]

Extra timeouts awarded for scoring shorthanded, sponsored by Doritos

 

[29Potvins]

Home-team goalie gets 1 "cluster-puck" usage per month or season, whereby, at the goalie's discretion, 20-30 pucks can be shot outward from a contraption located inside the net.
Best uses: ruin breakaways, or just to cause chaos on the ice for a couple of minutes.

The islanders killing off a penalty

 

[BoldNewLettuce]

Lazer skates

 

[Drake1588]

Teams play 60 minutes, at the end of which they play five more minutes, and then the game ends in a tie. You get two points for a win, zero points for a loss, and one point for a tie. Regular season.
Unlimited sudden death in the playoffs.
Five on five under all circumstances at all times.

 

[Macbanan]

Teams can sell draft picks for points.

Picks can be sold for goals in the playoff. First round pick is 3 goals, second is 2 goals, third is 1 goal.

If you voluntarily play shorthanded for 2 minutes you can have 6 skaters on for 2 minutes later.

 

[Viqsi]

A return to wooden sticks for all players, to correspond with the constant demands for smaller goalie equipment.

 

[Uncle Scrooge]

Every team to have their own Brad Marchand
