I would love to see a way to watch the game play out in more details. Mainly to be more involved. Interesting things could be influenced by the gamer once it is clear what is going on on the ice.

Here are some examples that come in mind:
The moment you decide to change lines could become more interesting. Imagine you make a bad call and accidentally have too many men on the ice.
Or when a referee decides to play through after he sees a penalty and you decide to pull out your goalie until the whistle blows.
Call for a time out to have some (temporally) stat boosts to divide over the players.
Get more insights on the play style of the players. That should make it more intuitive to do in-game tactical role changes.
