They got rid of the wrong rule (2-line pass instead of offsides)

[PurpleMouse]

A possibly goofy, possibly bad, but possibly effective idea I'd like to see tested is to nullify icing if the attacking team has a player over the center red line when the puck is iced. This would reward speed (could also reward offensive cheating) and open up the option of a long-range dump-in as an attacking play, meaning that teams might often choose to play a defender farther back in their own zone in order to defend against such plays. That could make it more difficult for teams to play with defensive postures that force offside plays.

I've always argued this. I don't see any negatives although give coaches enough time they can make anything boring I"m sure.

Remove the bluelines only use redline for offside meaning u need to carry puck in first over redline this would make pp an pk very interesting .Would also open up the offence .

remove all penalties, remove all whistles, remove all lines, let them kill each other... problem solved

see how simple it is...

It's completely unworkable. On the rush the forwards without the puck just bull-rush the net. The defence has no choice but to follow them. This leaves a monstrous hole for the puck carrier to either skate into or hit a late defenceman joining the rush. It would be completely impossible to play defence against the rush at all. Increasing scoring is one thing, but this would probably lead to more goals than we saw in the 80s, and that's way too much.

Yep this is pretty much roller hockey. One forward stretches the rink and takes a defensemen with him, making it a 3 on 3 ..which is a ton of room to operate.

Getting rid of the two-line pass was probably the best thing that happened to hockey.
