    What's The Best Way To Increase Scoring In Hockey?

    Mike Babcock thinks we need to make the goals bigger. Sidney Crosby thinks that the goalie equipment needs to be condensed. I'm with Crosby. Sometimes it looks like these goalies have brought their luggage with them when they are in the goal. Surely, in this day and age, there can be smaller equipment that can do the same job.

    It's okay. Not all sports need non stop scoring like basketball and nfl. The nfl is now a garbage product thanks to scoring overdose caused by pi penalties.

    Still haven't watched an OT game with 3 on 3 yet. Is it more exciting? What are the rules? First one who scores? Or what?

    JJ - weren't you the one who wanted players to start up with Roids again in mlb since there is a lack of scoring?
    Or was that someone else?

    How about we start with Soccer first? Red card if you fall to the ground and act like you're dying. And eliminate offsides so we can see a shit ton of goals

    yes first to score wins. only difference 3on 3 is when a penalty committed . Team that committed it doesn't lose a guy other gains one so its 4 on 3

    size of net will never change. they would have to change ever net in every rink in the world. trust me on that one. too much opposition to this.
    the width of the rink will be increased before the nets ever change.

    reducing size of goaltending equipment is nothing new. they've implemented reductions during some seasons and we will likely see more of decreases to width of pads. to be honest i love where the league is at in terms of goals per game and amount of games being settled in the 3v3 without the shootout.

    Goalie equipment is meant to protect the player.....now it is designed to stop the puck.
