The rules change year to year in response from constructive criticism lodged by the community through surveys, forums, and other things. The NFL, MLB, NHL, and college sports are always tweaking rules to better serve their product. Right now the NHL is trying to cut down on the amount of games that go to a shootout period because it, in the opinion of ownership and management, devalues the product. What is different here?
