Option 1 - Hockey has one of the most unique ways of punishing players for infractions of all the sports with the penalty box. Creating situations where a team must play while outnumbered has created all sorts of nuances in hockey that simply do not have parallels in other major sports. But hockey does have rules in place to limit things from getting too out of hand. For example, a team cannot be forced to ice fewer than 3 skaters. In this case, either the penalty time is extended or the opposing team gets an extra skater instead (in the case of 3v3 overtime). Goalies also are allowed to have a surrogate player serve the penalty for them. I say we get rid of all of these restrictions. Can't keep your team disciplined? Too bad, now you have to kill off a 5v1 power play. Your goalie is a jerkface who keeps trying to high stick guys that skate too close too him (cough, Binnington)? Too bad, now you have to kill off a "5v5" powerplay with no goalie. Good luck! (179 words)
