1. scrape of the ice before overtime instead of before the shootout to give a cleaner surface to play on, and having teams change direction after the third period to create a longer change to the benches.
2. faceoff infractions after icings, which could result in a delay-of-game penalty
3. increasing the size of the trapezoid behind the net
4. the configuration of faceoff circles
5. tougher penalties for embellishment
Ok with #1, makes sense.
Ok with #2 as players purposely getting kicked out slows the game down, but no need to call for a penalty and slow the game even further. Just drop the puck.
The trapezoid is a joke to begin with. Remove it altogether.
Don't care about #4
#5 will only lead to more whining
