Option 2: When Lias takes a penalty, he feels terrible about it - there's nothing worse than watching your team play shorthanded because of something you did. But he takes the time in the penalty box to calm himself down. It's two minutes where he gets to rest his body, calm his mind, and focus on what he needs to do when he gets back out there. Sometimes he does a little meditation for the first minute and a half, then pulls himself back to the present for the final thirty seconds, sending all of that refreshed energy into his whole body, focusing in on the play on the ice and figuring out exactly what he is going to do when he gets out of the box. He would never take a penalty on purpose but that doesn't mean he can't make the most of it and take the opportunity to use it to his and his team's advantage when it happens.

HOW DARE YOU GIVE ME A PENALTY FOR SOMETHING, YOU BLIND REF. Well, it is safe to say that Mercedes Bayle does not like too much to be put into the penalty box for two minutes. I mean, it really does not matter how long the penalty is, you are going to penalize her and make sure she sits in a box for something that was clearly not her fault? What an absolute shame. The next two minutes comes with yelling at the referee just enough so she does not get an additional two minutes for unsportsmanlike. I think that is exactly what it consists of. How far can I go without getting in more trouble? She is not usually a confrontational person, but that penalty was just terrible. The fans just love it because they will chant at the referee and stuff as well on her side. Well, that's of course if she is home. If she is away, everyone chants for more. So, not doing well.

Option 2:

Listen, no one likes taking penalties when they're on the ice. It hurts your team and makes them clean up a mess you created. Now, sometimes the penalty against you is bogus and sometimes it's legit. You have to make sure you control your reaction or you risk the referees labelling you a nuisance and it affecting the calls you do or don't get.

When I was starting out, I would get pretty animated whenever I got called for a penalty. I never thought I did anything wrong and wanted to make sure the refs knew what I felt about the call. When I entered the SHL, the vets on the team had a talk with me about reacting appropriately and I've tried to clean up my reactions on the ice. They told me you don't want to be labelled a complainer to the ref and just let them do their job and roll with it. They said they would handle the talking to the refs so I'm definitely working on it. My teammates in Texas have been great in helping me in this part of my game.

Videl Valor was recently tasked with coming up with a new a rule that would be called a penalty. This new penalty would be called "chopping", this would be a stick that clips the opponents legs or low blows them. If this was unavoidable, a 2 minute minor would be assessed. However, if there was any malicious intent, a 5 minute major would be assessed and you could get either fined or suspended for that play. As an additional punishment, they are also not allowed to have Gatorade or any form of energy drink while they are in the penalty box, as a way to teach them a lesson. This penalty usually rarely gets called and it usually has to be confirmed through replay review to ensure that either the penalty happened, or if there was any malicious intent to make it a major. This penalty will be more common during the playoffs rather than the regular season to prevent injuries during the playoffs

My player Johnny FourStar absolutely hates getting sent to the penalty box! In no other context is it okay to put someone in a box. It's inhumane, disrespectful, and dangerous! What if everyone in the arena forgets I'm in the box? Will I have to sleep in that tiny area until someone finally notices? What about if I have to go to the bathroom? Do I just find a corner? And what if I need a snack? I don't see many penalty boxes with their own Quiznos. We shouldn't put players into boxes. And that's why I am so angry! Did I throw an elbow? Probably. But why don't you send me to a nice relaxing spa, a place that will heal my inner child who threw that elbow? The penalty box should be a place for rehabilitation, not punishment. I think that this league as a whole will do much better if we address the root cause of penalties, rather than just throwing someone in a box. It's barbaric.

Carter Stankoven used to be in the box a lot when he was in his first season, but last season he changed his mindset to play hockey and to not be in the box. But when he was in the box. He got mad even if it was a bad call. For example early in the season there was a boarding call even tho he barely touched the other person. When that happened. He walked into the box and broke his stick and started screaming. But there hasn't been a bad call for him. All the other calls were reasonable. But there has been a lot more like when he broke the glass when he slammed the door after a bad call which made him get another penalty for unsportsmanlike (which was a stupid call) but other than that. He hasn't gotten mad after a call. Maybe this season he will. But who knows

Written option 1

Since the root of the problem is not having enough power plays, there would be two paths. Either we could have a lot more penalties but have them even shorter than minor penalties. Or we could have just a little more penalties, but ones that would be super long. Just for maximum chaos, I'll take the "little more, but long serving time". The rule then should be something that happens at least once every game. So, how about you get a penalty every time you fall over without any physical contact with another player. The official reason would be just "Falling". So any kind of a tumble that leads to neither skate blade touching the ice will net a penalty. And not just a penalty, but a new kind of a penalty: the 59-minute major. It's a penalty that leads to your team playing one player short until the last minute of play. That's when you get released. And the benefit at the end is not just that you get a rested player back, but all the players that were serving a 59-minute major can just hop on the ice. If your team has two players serving a 59-minute major, you'll play 7-on-5 for the last minute. To prevent situations where a team would intentionally start falling over at the 58th minute, this rule only applies in the first 50 minutes of play. If your team gets five 59-minute majors, the other team plays 5-on-0 powerplay until the last minute of play.
