The NHL's Faceoff Rules

Dear NHL,

I'm starting to think this whole drop-the-puck-whether-they're-ready-or-not-on-faceoffs thing is wrong.  It looks stupid and creates chances out of artificial situations.  It feels about as phony as a shootout.  And we know the NHL would never do something as audacious as end games with something as phony as a shootout...  (Oh wait, nevermind.)

I mean, c'mon, you would never see a one-man tipoff in the NBA, would you?  It's silly and unprofessional.  I'd much rather see this kind of delay added to the list of face-off infractions which would lead to the center being ejected from the circle and a possible penalty for multiple infractions.

Respectfully yours,

PS - Outlawing all head shots, intent or no intent, would be a good idea.

PPS - Please get rid of the blackout rules for Gamecenter LIVE so I can get rid of my horribly overpriced television service.

PPPS - Please get rid of all blackout rules for the Atlanta area.  Haven't those poor people lost enough without being able to watch the next closest teams on CenterIce and Gamecenter???
