Does it occur to you that that doesn't matter? No matter what happens half of HFboards is pissed.
Make the officials accountable for their mistakes and at the same time stop game management.
Independent body to replace the DoPS as it is a complete joke.
Patch up the LTIR and playoff cap hits to avoid what Tampa is doing. I am not saying they are cheating but it is also not healthy for the game.

Dead puck era is without question the worst era in NHL history.

Replace "Hfboards" in the original post with a single person:
It makes it very clear the intention is to point out a contradiction, not just to lament that you can't satisfy everyone. But it's not a contradiction if there are completely different people saying those two things.
You, personally, can go on and on about "people who will always bitch," but that doesn't intersect with what I'm talking about.

Stop the refs from getting in between two players fighting or stopping a fight because they don't like it. Let the guys fight if they want, enough of this anti-fighting crap.
End penalties and fines for big hits. Let them be physical. This is hockey, not soccer, people might get hurt. They know that.
Get rid of the stupid trapezoid.
Fire anyone who had anything to do with postponing games last year over ignorance.
End the "hockey is for everyone" crap. No one said it wasn't. Stop pandering to try and gain fans.
Return to an actual Canadian manufacturer for jerseys. No more Adidas and certainly no Nike.
Leave goalie gear how it is. I don't have any desire to see 9-5 games.
Take away the visor rule. Let the players choose whatever they want.
Dismantle the player safety office bullshit or whatever it is.

Make the goals an inch or two wider and higher, to make up for the bigger goalies. Change the rules for challenging to not allow coaches to challenge things that happened more than 10 seconds before the goal.

Had this discussion before but major issue game has is with player safety and officiating. Little to no standard and what we have is too lenient. Shouldn’t be blatant calls missed with such frequency. Shouldn’t allow players to get away as much as they do. It’s dangerous and it hurts the integrity of the game
Solution is simple. For league, set the standard and hold officials accountable. Encourage them to do way with the game management and emphasize safety and fairness. We need consistency, whether it’s the first minute of the regular season or last minute of the playoffs. Want to be a little lenient, fine. Not on the dangerous plays or ones that’s drastically effect the game. You can do this in multiple ways, changing the rulebook to clarify certain “grey area” is one. Using the Department of Player Safety as a guide (assuming that is addressed also) can also be a powerful tool in accomplishing that goal

There are several elements to the game that are out of the league's control.
-Coaching.. Defense, defense, defense. It doesn't matter if you can score 30 goals a season. If you don't play defense very well, you are a liability. The game is insanely defensive minded with teams crowding the front of the net. That leads into the systemic play. I feel that players are told to be less creative when it comes to offensive play - the system is just boring to watch (ie. Montreal)
-Goaltending.. Goalies below 6 ft tall are too short. Remember, Darran Pang was a goalie and he was 5'5". Teams are simply going after taller goalies nowadays. Plus, the butterfly has made goaltending effective but boring.
-Puck clearing.. It seems like players are lobbing the puck out of the zone more than ever, and with enough precision that it reaches the other side of the ice without becoming an icing.
-Skill gap.. The gap between the top players and the bottom players on a team doesn't seem to be as big when it comes to not just skill, but value and importance.

Get rid of the instigator and not allow ahl and echl to have a 10 fight limit which is bullshit. Not call every tick tac call make players battle especially in front of the net. Some more scrums post whistle. If guys dive give them the penalty only and fines. Only play teams in other conference once and play more inner division games to create more rivalries.

Make a salary cap in the playoffs.
Protect the stars of the NHL.
Allow personalities to be a thing.
Advertise Canadian hockey players in the united States more often.

Every team having enforcers and characters that are relatable the blue collar hard working players. Who would you rather watch a 4th lines with domi grimson probert vandenbussche ext or ryan carpenter perlini jokim nordstrom, ext guys that are soft can't score wont fight rarely hit are basically just plugs. When some guys wanted just enforcers out they claim they still wanted guys who were good players like Barnaby Tucker ext but most of those players are gone too. Need to bring back that physicality, that's why most people I know don't watch hockey anymore.

Make AHL, ECHL as leagues of their own. Bring relegation system to the mix.
Instead of getting awarded from being the last team, relegate the ones who finish last, don't award them!
32 teams, 2 last place teams of the regular season, gets relegated to the AHL
- the 3rd last team will play a best of 7 game series against AHL team.
| the AHL would have two different conferences, American and Canadian, the play-offs would be
played within conference, both Conference champions would be promoted to the NHL, after the best of 7 series
there would be a AHL championship game after that, like the Super Bowl, the losers of the Conference championship series
will play a 1 game play-off game, to decide the team who'll face the 3rd last NHL team |
The 29th, 28th, 27th placed teams will get the best chance to win the draft lottery.
The AHL teams will get automatic 30th pick (AHL champion), 31st pick (loser of the AHL championship game)
32nd pick(possible 3rd AHL team, but if the NHL team wins the series, that NHL team is awarded with the 32nd pick)
