The competition committee is boring; let PPP change your rules

The NHL’s competition committee met in Nashville and made two recommendations for rule changes. They are dull and boring.

For the record they are:

Rule 87 Time-outs: The Committee recommends a change so that no time-out shall be granted following an icing for the team that committed the icing infraction.

Rule 80.4: The Committee recommends a change so that when a team has a power-play and a player on the team at full strength causes a stoppage of play as the result of striking the puck with a high stick in the offensive zone, the resulting face-off shall be made in the neutral zone on the nearest face-off spot.
