Bettman Tinkering with the Rule Book

Skip to 1:25 for Bettman's utopia. 5:08 for the best quote in cinematic history. Emilio!

NHL discussing rule changes.

I don't think Gary Bettman knows that the Mighty Ducks were a fictional story. He seems to be under the impression that a 7-6 game against Trinidad and Tobago is the only way that hockey will sell in this country, and he's doing everything in his power to make that a reality. I will give him credit: I like the idea of a 3-on-3 overtime after the 4-on-4. Other than that I hate every rule they're talking about. He's selling hockey's soul for an extra 5 goals a season. No line change for the team that goes offside? Three total face-off dots? Face-offs done by whistle instead of a puck drop? Someone give Bettman ritalin. He claims this is an attempt to boost offensive numbers but he's acting like a bored little kid that wants something to screw with. Stop distancing yourself from your dedicated fans for the sake of increasing offense by 0.001 goals per game. The puck drop is one of the most iconic moments in hockey and I'll go down in a hail of gunfire before it's taken away.
