People like to complain that there are parts of hockey they don’t like. From the way the league calls penalties or suspensions, to the lack of exciting trades, and so on.
So, I’m going to come up with a plan to make hockey better so everyone will be happy.
First, let’s talk about those penalties. The refs never call the rulebook, or when they do it’s based on some arbitrary amount the league wants so there aren’t too many powerplays. So, first step is we make refs call all penalties, even the most minor thing. The smallest slash, the tiniest hook, the most innocent of holds, and so on.
