In the NHL, it doesn’t matter if the rules are dumb. All that matters is that they’re enforced consistently.
At least, that’s what I always hear from fans. It’s a near-constant refrain, one that comes up especially often at this time of year. There’s a call, or a non-call, or a referee blinks somewhere, and fans are furious about it. But not because the break went against their team, you understand. These fans aren’t raving homers who want every break to go their team’s way. They just want consistency.
Fair enough. Today we’re going to take that idea to the extreme, by figuring out how history would change if the NHL took the single dumbest rule that it has and actually enforced it during the playoffs.
