BREAKING: NHL Considering a Rule Change That Could Change Hockey Forever
The NHL, and all 32 organizations general managers took place in a GM meeting last week, and NHL insider Elliote Friedman shared an inside scoop of what he heard from the meeting, it is truly a very odd discussion.
A rule so serious that it may ruin powerplays for the entire league moving forward..
NHL insider Elliote Friedman shared the following information:
''At last week's GM Meetings, there was a conversation about calling more penalty shots instead of power-plays � something I totally support. That led to another debate among a few of us: should the team that draws the penalty have the option of going on the power-play or taking a penalty shot? Shooters are 5-for- 11 on penalty shots in 2022-23 after goalies stopped 76 per cent of last year's attempts. There are good variables to weigh. Who's shooting? How good is your power-play? Philadelphia GM Chuck Fletcher had a good line, though, saying: «It will be tough to explain to a player if you have a horrible power-play and go that route instead of letting him shoot.''
This idea would change the game of hockey in a very unexpected way, if something isn't broken... why attempt to fix it?
