Ooh, so many. I love hockey, obvs. Though I don't catch as much here in Texas. I love to travel - anywhere & everywhere, especially Europe & Disney World. I love Disney. I love crafting, and cooking. I am an avid reader! Most of all I love spending time with my loving family!
I just wish they'd pick something and stick with it.
I'm sick of teams getting a point for making it to OT then losing. That is just stupid.
I actually am in the minority here who like the shootouts. Ties are just meh. Ties are, to me, an anticlimactic way to end a game. Shootouts can be exciting, and even if they aren't maybe the most fair way to judge...well, don't let your team GET to that point then. Does it really matter at that point if you lose in OT or lose in the shootout if you still get a stinking point for losing...

Nearly all of those seemed like they would make no positive impact on the game. Some of them just seem wacky. The whole OT thing just seems bizarre, and I think our OT is already messed up as it is. How would it benefit anyone to start at a whistle as opposed to a puck drop.
As many others have stated, none of this does a lick of good with the officiating being so bad when it matters most.

This is obviously NOT what is wrong with the world, because there are things that actually matter that make this world f***ed up, but it's s***ty. Minor, but s***ty nonetheless. The parents are obviously as dumb as they come, but this is non-news.
What's wrong with the world? Genocide, starvation, pedophilia, rampant profiteering, crime, incest, the legacy of colonialism, global warming, aids, warmongering, cancer etc.
Or s***ty hockeyparents? I'm kind of on the fence with this one.
Oh, this mindset is EXACTLY one of the things that is wrong with the world. Entitlement bull-crap society that we live in where so many think they don't have to work hard. So sick of people rewarding mediocrity and laziness. Even if it was unfair - life is unfair. People want to blame someone for everything, instead of just pointing the finger at themselves OR realizing that sometimes crap happens and deal with it.
