How would you fix ice hockey?
With the Chiefs season underway and the NHL kicking off next week, it seems like a good time to ask.
What would you do to improve the sport of hockey?
A) Shorten the NHL season so the Stanley Cup is not awarded in June. B) Make fighting a cause for disqualification. (For the next game, too, if the fight is in the third period.) C) Mandatory full-face shields. (Enough with the missing teeth already.) D) Do a better job of promoting top-tier college hockey, which manages to be entertaining without fights. E) Stand up to Don Cherry's thug/clown act, for God's sake. F) Find a way to make kids' equipment less expensive. (A tall order, I realize.) G) Go back to living with ties. (The shootout is a farce.) H) Halve the time between whistles and the ensuing faceoffs. I) Long suspensions for players even suspected of socceresque diving. J) Other.
