Will the rule changes to the AHL make you go to more games?

Courtesy of TSN (http://tsn.ca/nhl/news_story.asp?id=71686):

"The AHL will be asked to try out three points being awarded for a victory in regulation time with the NHL possibly going to that format in 2005-06 if it works well in the minors; that would also include two points for an overtime win; it may also include two points for a penalty shootout win.

The AHL will also be asked to try out the so-called "fat lines" of both blue-lines and the centre red-line next season. But they will be 24 inches instead of the 36 inches tried out this year in the AHL. They're currently 12 inches wide in the NHL."

Wish I could go to games at all. =(

Kinda hard if ya live in Sweden. Are there any AHL DVD's for sale anywhere?
For example: "AHL Greatest goals and hits" or something like that?

The point system isn't a bad idea, but I'm not sure if I'm sold on the other moves that are being made.

Does anyone know how/if the "fat lines" made a difference when they were used this year?

I'm not really looking forward to either change, but it won't hinder me from going to games.

I heard the fat lines were an eye sore. Not really a big deal...
