Exactly, it would be incredibly counter-productive in terms of keeping the pace of the game up

Also the problem is teams will just ice it anyways. We will end up getting ten whistles each PP because of icings. At least thats what i would tell my players to do if i were the coach.

“with Pittsburgh Penguins coach Dan Bylsma and Phoenix Coyotes bench boss Dan Bylsma leading separate squads”

That Dan Bylsma sure gets around doesn’t he?

Glad to see the trapezoid removal on the list. Fun to note that Philly still hasn’t won a Cup after this Bobby Clark monstrosity was added in reaction to a specific player having a skill. Hope they remove the abomination.

Like the no-touch icing (or hybrid version). Also like the shallow nets, green goal verification line, and the curved glass at the benches. I think all these should be put into place, assuming testing does not reveal some problem with the idea.

No icing on a PK is just ridiculous, anybody who plays hockey knows how much a PK takes out of you if you’re stuck out there the entire time. There have been enough rule changes to increase goals scored, they don’t need even consider stuff like that, enough’s enough. I do like the overtime/shootout variations, no-touch icing, and removing the trapezoid though.

I like the no touch icing, so we don’t end up with Kurtis Foster situations, and the no icing on a PK forces teams to control the puck and get to center ice.

Not crazy about the no line change on offsides or the taking the faceoff back to the offsides team zone. Most offisdes aren’t intential so there is no reason to penalize that team.
