I think back to Iggy's 2002 season and he score a ton by beating the goalie clean with a slapshot. Now unless it is a rebound, or a redirect, or a nice cross seam pass you can't score.
That is what bothers me.

Absolutely. A goal off the rush is the most exciting play in hockey. It would be sad to see it disappear.

Did you read the article? The issue was actually brought forward by the NHLPA's Mathieu Schneider. Penalizing shot blocking has also been recommended by multiple Stanley Cup and Selke winner, former coach and GM Bob Gainey.

This past season saw the third-lowest GAA average (2.52) in 59 years.
