This question made me think about a fascinating quirk in putting in a game card for a nhl game.
I think it is a quirk personally anyways.
I believe that having 4 lines of forwards and 4 pairs of dmen would be so much safer for player safety over the length of a season that it could cut down on injury lost games significantly.
I believe defensemen are over burdened somewhat in the latter stages of games by fresher forwards. Dmen take a beating by being out numbered by forwards continually.
I wouldn't mind a game card to allow 23 players instead of 21. It would be a safer, fresher and faster paced game game i believe
Yes maybe i am the quirky one i know ). I would like to see the opportunity to have four set lines including set pairs of defensemen included.
Just a wrinkle i think would be fun.
When 4th. liners play 6-7 minutes a night, it would be easier to dress fewer forwards.
