I still would like to see penalties matter late in a game.  If you take a delay of game or crosschecking penalty with 40 seconds left in a 1 goal game, there is potentially incentive to take a late penalty to kill momentum and not leave enough time to get the PP set up.  If there is PK time left on the clock in a 1 or 2 goal game I'd like to see the PP carry over for the full amount.

Carry over to where? You talking about extending the game until the penalty would expire?

Yep.  Maybe only if it's a one goal game but if you take a penalty with less than 2 minutes left in the game, you face the entirely of the penalty.

I don't like the idea of extending the game, but I get where you're going with this Minor penalties in the final minute should be a penalty shots. Majors in final two minutes should be a penalty shot and the power play.

Yeah that's an interesting alternative.  I like it

[OldTimeHockey]

Man, I don't like either of those ideas very much. A team has played 59 minutes working to have the lead and in a scramble grabs a stick or flips a puck over the net and suddenly they're getting a penalty shot against them? Yeah, not a fan.

Any judgement call late in a close game that would result in a mandatory penalty shot will simply result in the bar raised even higher than it is now.

Yup, they wouldn't call anything.
