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.
