http://espn.go.com/nhl/story/_/id/11141174/salary-cap-rise-again-record-revenues 1. scrape of the ice before overtime instead of before the shootout to give a cleaner surface to play on, and having teams change direction after the third period to create a longer change to the benches. 2. faceoff infractions after icings, which could result in a delay-of-game penalty 3. increasing the size of the trapezoid behind the net 4. the configuration of faceoff circles 5. tougher penalties for embellishment Ok with #1, makes sense. Ok with #2 as players purposely getting kicked out slows the game down, but no need to call for a penalty and slow the game even further. Just drop the puck. The trapezoid is a joke to begin with. Remove it altogether. Don't care about #4 #5 will only lead to more whining
