This is such a 2020 answer. Your kid is bad so they get grounded but you feel bad grounding them so you give them ice cream, what a bunch of crap. If a team breaks the rules and is penalized, they shouldn’t suddenly be allowed to break another rule to balance things out. The point of a power play is to punish the team for breaking the rules, but if the PK team has the advantage, what kind of punishment is that. If anything, the team on the PP should be allowed to ice the puck, give them the advantage. The rules should be called no matter what the situation, time of game, or time of season *cough*playoffs*cough*

Agreed. Either that, or keep the "free icing" but allow the PP team to score up to two goals per to balance this out.
As for the shootout, there needs to be an agreed upon "pace" that a shooter must approach the goal with. Not this near-stop, take 27 years to do whatever move you want crap like they have now.
