NHL

The season for seeking improvement and making resolutions to be better is here. As many ready their New Year’s Resolutions, it seems now would be as good a time as any to give a list of resolutions the National Hockey League should consider for 2017 and beyond.

No rule in hockey — and some might say sports — is more asinine than that of the so-called “loser” point which awards the defeated club by simply making it to overtime with a point. So with the league looking to improve upon the shootout by changing how many times a team’s star can shoot, it should also look to improve the overall game by ceasing to incentivize overtime.
