Proposed NHL Rule Changes
So we didn't make the NHL's annual GM meeting, again. But fear not, here are our proposed rule changes for next season. Enjoy!
Improve The Organ Music
An NHL game without organ music is a burger without cheese and relish. Organ music is part of the institution of hockey, but often it's dated and in some arenas; extinct. Kids don't even hear it anymore. When the Boston Bruins started playing Daft Punk on the organ, crowds loved it. I propose that each month, the organist learns the top 20 single chart. Mix things up a bit. No Miley Cyrus though.
Penalty Shoot-Outs
There's nothing wrong with a shoot-out, but they could be better. I propose that after the fifth round, the coaches have to take a shot each. I reckon Mike Babcock would have this nailed, and let's face it; the Wings need all the help they can get. If it's still a tie after six rounds, the mascots take a shot each.
Zamboni Encroachment
During overtime, Zambonis patrol the boards providing a moving obstacle. Celebrity drivers are encouraged.
Alex's Suggested Rules
More Early Game Brawls Allowed
Who didn't love the completely unlikely Canucks v Flames brawl this season? I say there should more random moments like this in Hockey as it adds an extra spice to the game and depending on how many players are thrown out, it can make for a compelling battle for the game ahead!
Player With Worst Penalty Minutes Given End of Season Punishment
The league is forever trying to clamp down on repeat offenders such as resident thugzilla Raffi Torres with his numerous bans; I say long winded suspensions are one thing, but making them feel bad about it is quite another. So come end of term, fans should get to see this guy totally humiliated. Suggested punishments include being chased by a bear around home arena, being forced to fight Zdeno Chara, or listen to John Tortorella recite poetry.
Each Team Must Have A Twitter Correspondent
Every eternal bench warmer loves to fill their non playing time with game updates and comments about their daily lives- well as amusing as Luongo's twitter HQ has been, I feel each team should assign one non playing member to be the official in game twitter user- would make any player going through a rough patch something to do- though could lead to long winded rants!
