505 players participated in the survey. As many as 29.70 % of them would like to have a familiar rule on the NHL, where the underpower would end after underpowering.
Nowadays, the cooler ends only if the overwhelming team scores.
Almost a quarter (24.36%) of players would like to have a 3-2-1-0 point system familiar to the NHL in the SM League, where three points of the actual winning win would be.
Some also needed a change in the playoffs.
16.83 % of players would like to have the number one conference to choose a playoff player. After that, it would be the second turn to choose and then the third. The fourth pair would consist of remaining teams.
Today, in the NHL, the first round of playoffs is played within the division. This is more likely to get “local games”, but at the same time you will also see too familiar pairs of playoffs. For example, the Edmonton Oilers and Los Angeles Kings will meet in the tube for the fourth time this spring.
In addition, in the current system, champion candidates such as Colorado and Dallas can already meet in the opening round, even though they were both in the regular season.
The current playoff system has been in use since 2014. Before that, the number one conference met eighth, second seventh and so on.
