Infinity glass. Toss out the netting altogether. Puck can never go out.

Before the rule came into effect, there were some pretty brutal games where players would flip the puck over the glass to get a break. I recall one team doing 3 times in a row before the ref finally called it a delay of game.
I think it used to be the referee's discretion to give a penalty, which I think puts too much on them. Refs are brutal when it comes to discretionary calls, so I prefer the automatic penalty.

Don't make it discretionary, that would be terrible. I think the refs would hate trying to make those calls too.
I would try "similar to icing". I think it would work. The glass is so high anyway that getting it safely over the glass is probably harder in most situations than just icing the puck, which would give you a few more seconds of breathing time.

they should play the puck off the netting (unless it got stuck up there)

The fan who gets the puck can make the decision.

I like it... sucks when its your team, but man tossing the puck out under pressure used to be a thing, and it was horrible. Making it like an icing wouldn't deter it like a penalty does. I think their are other things the league needs to work on besides this.
Speaking of which... whats the resoning of the trapezoid?

The refs can barely do their ####ing job as it is.

broke the first rule
|
When the glass is flipped out of play, a new puck is thrown onto the ice from the timekeeper's box (in any direction) and the teams can have an XFL style faceoff to get the puck.

The Hatcher Brothers were the kings of firing a puck over the glass when the pressure got to much.
If their team was scrambling in their own zone, flick over the glass it went.
The goalie leaves a big juicy rebound. Frash over the glass it goes.
I think it has to remain a penalty. Teams are willing to stop the clock and reset in their own end even if there's a penalty involved. And if your a good penalty killing team, you'll take the chances.

Same as icing.
Ideally I would like to leave a discretionary option for the refs but I just don't trust them enough.
Also like the infinity boards.

to keep goalies in their net so there's less scoring.

I like it. It sucks when it happens to your team but what fans don't realize is how many stoppages there would be due to defensemen flipping the puck over the glass when under pressure if there wasn't a penalty for it. Half of the time they are usually bonehead plays by the defenseman. The game doesn't need more stoppages in play. Making it the same as icing is useless as the puck would be faced off in their end anyway seeing that's the end they shot the puck over the glass.

I love the rule.
Promotes high skill plays and solid systems/team play, teams that lack those get burned.
More penalties = more tic-tac-toe goals and I like those, so I think that's a positive.
Not having heavy pressure reduced to college basketball timeout scenarios is much more entertaining.
As a rule to promote offense I think it's one of the better ones the NHL has. I wish there was maybe more consequences in the game for things that hurt the pace and flow of a game.

What bothers me about it is that it's the most consistently correctly called penalty out of anything in the rule book. It's such an innocuous one too.
Maybe modify it so that there has to be x number of opposing team players in the zone to count, or make it a penalty if it's in the last x minutes of a period/game, or reduce the actual penalty to a one minute penalty. On the severity scale it doesn't even relate to a missed elbow to the head.

I like it as is. I think shooting the puck over the glass should be a penalty. Most other penalty calls are just as legitimate, even if accidental. Not sure why intent is focused on so much for this one.
