Brett For Commish?
The always outspoken Brett Hull offers up his top ten ideas for improving the NHL game at The Hockey News.com:
1. GO BACK TO THE ONE-REF SYSTEM
2. CRACK DOWN ON DIVING
3. FOSTER RIVALRIES
4. NO MAXIMUM CURVE FOR STICKS
5. GET RID OF INSTIGATOR RULE
6. MAKE HOCKEY A PUCK-CONTROL GAME
7. INTRODUCE HURRY-UP FACEOFFS
8. NO MORE POINT TO THE LOSING TEAM
9. PROTECT CANADIAN TEAMS
10. GET A NEW CBA DONE
There are further details for each proposal at The Hockey News link. My favorite was Hull's comments on the instigator rule:
It's a revenge free-for-all instead of going after the guy who started it. Maybe if the guy knew he was going to be held accountable, he wouldn't take a run at the other team's star.
Also, the league really has to crack down on guys who wear visors, but who always instigate altercations and are basically a pain in the ass. Get rid of the instigator rule and after those guys get throttled once or twice, maybe they'll change the way they play.
