I’ve read about columnists saying that an 84-games season is just too long, that by the time players reach the playoffs, they are tired. There are also too many exhibition games.
By having a shorter season, each game will become more meaningful. That way, we could stop awarding one point for over-time losses. Teams must play to win.
This issue gets repeated a lot, yet nothing seem to be done about it. I read an article about Mike Bossy in a local newspaper several days ago about his thoughts. One thing he said that stuck is that nowadays, a hit two seconds after the victim got rid of the puck would count as a hit, whereas back in his days, it would be interference. What is stopping the referees from calling those?
Personally, I do not mind seeing too many penalties. Players will re-adjust and learn to play properly again.
