I for one miss the old names of the divisions. I am so tired of the north, west, east, central, south, south by south west division names.
The trophies have great names, think about it what other sport names there trophy for MVP. Most just call it the NL or AL or NFL MVP award.
I agree though Hockey is becoming way too americanized, IMHO!! (I am American, FYI).

"When I was looking for a captain, I wanted a guy with the Red Wings crest tattooed on his chest," said former Detroit coach Jacques Demers, who named Yzerman captain in 1986. "Steve Yzerman was that guy."

Increase the net size is the only one I truly disagree with (in fact, it's just plain ridiculous). Scoring is not that far down as to what it was pre-lockout days. If you want to solve the scoring droughts, then make these mediocre goalies like Giguere wear normal sized pads. Compliment that with somehow enforcing teams not to play the trap. It's a stretch, but if given the crudentials, it can be done.
