- Reduce the schedule. 100+ games of this sport is insane when you include playoffs, pre-season, world cups etc. I want to see healthy squads, and more time between game days + less games for injury will mean healthier squads. It will make the games more meaningful. I would pay more to go to a game if they weren’t so diluted and the teams were healthy.
- Get rid of blackouts entirely. Do whatever you have to do. Figure it out with the regions. I am in BC. It’s infuriating when I have Sportsnet 1, 360, and West, yet I cannot watch the Oilers game because its only on West and it is blacked out in my region. Way to market Connor McDavid.
- NHL could get less traditional about things. Some ideas I have liked is that if you come in first, pick your opponent. If you come in second, you get the next pick. If you get a penalty shot, you can opt to take the powerplay. Stuff like that. Add some drama.
- Make the games matter for teams mathematically out of the playoffs. The best idea I heard for that is to make draft position based on the amount of points you get while eliminated from playoff contention. It still kinds of works out for the worst teams, because they get eliminated earlier so they have more opportunities to win after that.

Having blackouts always piss me off it's even worse when they black out other teams games. When I am at home in RD and I try to watch a Canucks game just because, I can't. Why are you blacking out a person in another market who can't buy tickets to see the game. Especially when I am already paying for Sportsnet and the game is on SPortsnet Pacific!

It kind of makes sense to blackout other games regionally if you're worried a Canucks game will cost the Oilers game eyeballs. Kind of. But when the Oilers aren't playing, the NHL and Sportsnet should want Alberta eyes on those Canucks games. It blows my mind that the Sportsnet national package doesn't include every extra American game possible that's being played when the Canadian market doesn't have a team going.
I still think most hockey fans are actually just fans of their team and it wouldn't cost the Oilers anything to have the Canucks on Sportsnet Pacific, but what do I know?
Please do not feed the bears. Feeding the bears creates a dependent population unable to survive on their own. Bears.
