a completely unrealistic and impossible way to save the NHL

[Triumph36]

terrible, terrible ideas.

I think the ice should peak in the middle and be sloped down towards the ends.
The goalie will always be struggling to keep from falling into his own net and it will be good times for everyone.

Also, one player on the ice at all times has to be playing with a baseball bat instead of a regular hockey stick.

And both teams get 10 cans of silly-string that they can use to try to blind their opponents.

With 2 minutes left in the period a big pinata filled with Hershey's kisses will rain down on the ice and the players have to try to skate through all the chocolate for the rest of the period.

Micro,

Replace the Hershey's kisses with M&M's and I think you're onto something.

i thought this would be a good idea. many will probably find it stupid.

1. tar and feather gary bettman
2. drag him through the streets of winnipeg on the back of a zamboni
3. move atlanta, st. louis, phoenix, carolina, nashville and columbus to quebec, vancouver, toronto (if NY can have 2 teams, toronto and vancouver should too), winnipeg, hamilton, and london.
4. contract florida and washington
5. reassign the 28 teams into a canadian conference of 14 teams and an american conference of 14 teams.
6. reduce schedule to 70 games.
7. american teams only play american, canadian only plays canadian save for an 8 game "interleague" period.
8. stanley cup finals = canadian conference champion vs american conference champion
9. ?????????
10. profit

1. I like
2. I like
3. St. Louis and Columbus work as hockey markets. Ohio could use at least one team.
4. Florida needs to go just so Buffalo can have the Amerks backs (I wonder how many understand this). Washington can stay but Ovechkin should be contracted.
5. If it was possible to have a Canadian conference and an American conference I would actually enjoy it. There isn't anything wrong with the current status though.
6. Nah
7. Meh
8. Would people care about a USA vs Canada matchup south of the border? Maybe more than Edmonton vs Carolina or Ottawa vs Anaheim. Oh wait...
9. League go bye bye
10. Probably not

"just so Buffalo can have the Amerks backs (I wonder how many understand this)."


I do.

[Nick B.]

What about the point system? I think it should switch to 3-0 for regulation and 2-1 for overtime.

[HajiShirazu]

Are the Canadian teams going to have a huge edge now that their money is worth way more than the American teams? Wait, they have to pay Canadian taxes though...

Mexican Pesos will be the new official currency of the NHL.

All the referees have to wear big, purple sombreros.

The penalty box will now be a phone-booth type structure right on the center dot. The booth spins around rapidly through the duration of the penalty so that all the fans can giggle when his penalty is over and he stumbles out of the box all dizzy.

Face-offs will be changed from a quick-drop of the puck to the referee shooting it straight up into the air with one of those air-gun thingees.
