The NHL put in this very system that the article talks about after the Panthers incident with Montoya/Luongo.
Each team is now mandated to have an emergency goalie available within x number of minutes. I believe by next season they're actually going to have to be in the building for every game just in case (don't quote me but I think they were trying to put that into place with the P.A. so that they don't count as a player, aren't eligible for benefits, insurance, etc.)
