NHL
Problem: The Worst Penalty (puck over glass by defensive team in defensive zone=minor penalty).
Fix: Make it like an icing. Offending team gets no line change + faceoff in the defensive zone.

NHL
Problem: The trapezoid is 100% pointless and has eliminated chaos plays possible when the goalie leaves the crease.
Fix: Remove trapezoid.

Sports Television Broadcasts
Problem: The on-field/court intermission interview is never interesting and constantly answered with the same cliches.
Fix: No coach interviews until after the game.

Realtalk all of these.

NHL
Problem: The new playoff format is dumb as gently caress all
Fix: If you really want to keep divisional playoffs, at least make the bottom 4 spots wildcards instead of just the bottom two.

Problem: Shootouts
Fix: Adopt 3 point system with a loser point only happening in the shootout, 10 minutes of 5-on-5 hockey for OT period; just play a little bit more of the actual sport you're meant to be playing instead of resorting to more stupid gimmicks



Also, with regards to tanking for draft picks, I've heard a suggestion where the draft order would be determined by average record over the last 3 years rather than just the year in question so as to get a better representation of which teams are really so bad that they need the first overall pick.

Not as far as baseballs. They are lighter/have less mass and more surface area. So they create more friction in the air. Can't be thrown as fast, are harder to control and won't go as far.

Golf balls. And aluminum bats.
