Re: Rule Changes?
Weighing in on a couple current topics:
1- If tied after 60 minutes, play one 5v5 10-minute sudden death OT. If tied after 70 minutes, it's a tie. Win=2 points, Tie=1 point, Loss=0 points.
2- A penalty is a penalty. The offending player shall be penalized for his actions regardless of what his opponent does. If the offended player embellishes to "sell it" to the ref, he shall be penalized 2 minutes for unsportsmanlike conduct. (Both players are penalized resulting in 4v4). If a player dives to "sell" a phantom infraction that did not occur, he shall be penalized 2 minutes for unsportsmanlike conduct. ("Diving" team kills a 5v4 penalty).
I don't see any reason to call them "diving" or "embellishment" they are both unsportsmanlike conduct and should be assessed whether or not the opposing players actions were a penalty or legal.
Edit: giving an "embellishment" penalty causing a 4v4 is no different than giving a slashing minor to a guy that got cross checked in front of the net and retaliated with a chop across the ankle. Both should be 4v4.
