Too-many-men penalty shots, stick curve suspensions, 3-minute power plays, and more weird NHL rules

It’s been a rough week for NHL officials. After last week’s Tim Peel scandal, and the NHL’s subsequent decision to permanently remove one of their longest serving referees from the job, everyone seems to be watching the calls and non-calls with extra scrutiny. When even Jack Edwards is sounding kind of reasonable, you know people are fed up.

Hell, you could do a better job than the guys the league has now. At least you know the rulebook!

Or … do you?

I mean, do you really know it? Because it’s weird.
