Bettman says he's okay if you want to bring back the rule against forward passes, he doesn't mind if you want to revert to old-school icing, he just demends you keep it to one rule change; you know, evolution is better than revolution...

What rule are you changing, tweaking, binning or creating.

I'd bring back the old 1-8 seeding for the playoffs, seeing some of the best teams face off in round 1 or 2 sucks compared to the old method IMO.

And it makes rivalries mean so much more when they face off in later rounds.

How much cooler is it when you have the chance to knock out a divisonal rival in the conference final instead of in a forced first round matchup?
