    Some of these I find interesting. Looking at the events for Wednesday like the Hybrid Icing Rule, which I really don't know how exactly it works. I need to look into that. The faceoff by whistle should NOT happen, AT ALL. I love the way its done now. So much better than a whistle... Its actually an entertaining faceoff. The overtime is kinda interesting. I find these all kind interesting. Three minutes of 4-on-4; three minutes of 3-on-3; three minutes of 2-on- 2 followed by shootout (5 players per team) Seeing a 3-on-3 and a 2-on-2 would be funny to see. I can picture a 2-on-2 to be amazing if you have talent like Crosby, Ovi, Kane, Kovy, and others like them as well as great defenders who have speed, I can only imagine. I hope they record this. A verification goal line would be kinda cool, dont know how well it will work. I like the idea of no icing the puck while being shorthanded. The only from the second day that sticks out is... "Second referee located off the playing surface." How would that work? Lol.. Like one watching a TV or what?

    The ones I like:
    No line change for team committing an offside
    Line changes zone in front of each bench
    No touch icing

    Ones I don't like:
    Face-off variation (face-off controlled by whistle in place of traditional puck drop)
    * Overtime: three minutes of 4-on-4; three minutes of 3-on-3; three minutes of 2-on- 2 followed by shootout (5 players per team).
    No icing the puck while shorthanded

    For the overtime rule, i wouldn't mind if it stopped at 3 on 3 and then went to shootouts. 2 on 2? sounds lame and too weird
