If I could change one rule in hockey I would go straight to the HHL. I would want to change OT rules if you lose in OT you should not be awarded a participation point you either win or lose there is no free lunch and the loser does not need a point. This change would help clear up the scoreboards and reduce some defensive play in the league. The teams going to the playoffs should be the team with the most wins not over time loses. There are plenty of examples where teams are seeded higher based on them making it to over time and then losing. The current strategy is to score one goal and turtle the way to over time where you get a free point despite the team losing. As they say in the hungry games "May the odds be ever in your favor" and may the best team go forth and win yee old Stanley Cup (In the case of the NHL that is and will always be Tampa Bay) !
