Old "Canadiens powerplay rule" & their team win streak

On the living-dead subject of creating more scoring in the NHL, what do people think about the idea (which I'm sure other people have brought up before over the years) of reversing at least part of the NHL's old "Canadiens rule" with regards to powerplays (i.e. they end on a goal being scored) and letting powerplays resulting from 5 minute majors last the whole 5 minutes?

Aside from the possibility of seeing more than one goal scored on such a powerplay, such a rule-change could also put more pressure on players not to cross the line with regards to blatant infractions; something everyone wants to see as little of as possible. (And don't forget the dangerous penalty-killers who can turn lapses by the other team into shorthanded breakaway scoring chances.)

More goals by one team could also lead to fewer games having to go to overtime. While this isn't really something people want to see, it would also mean that there would be fewer shootouts; which - despite their novelty entertainment value - are something many hockey fans see as contrary to the spirit of a fast-paced sport where all the players on the ice interact so much with each other.

Another possible result of such a rule change is that (until players indeed start taking less majors) teams that have to kill off full 5-minute penalties would tire more quickly that more disciplined opponents, giving those other teams the advantage to score more later in the game. Those tired teams would also suffer should games get to overtime, which means a drop in the number of shootouts may be much more than any drop in just overtime periods.

On the subject of the Montreal Canadiens, was anyone else surprised to find out they'd never started a season before with more than four consecutive wins? I thought it was actually five while I was writing this but checked to be sure. I was off by only one, but that makes it even more surprising. Now they're at seven straight wins. I'm a Nashville Predators fan (and an old Quebec Nordiques fan), but I always like seeing cool records being set and broken by individuals or teams. My father's a Toronto Maple Leafs fan, so I do enjoy seeing some uncool records develop now and then. LOL!

Anyhoo...
