I get what you're saying and "edn88" makes a good point, but with the rules the way they are now (no line changes with an icing) I think it would be enough of a punishment for a puck over the glass.
I really don't see a big difference between icing the puck and putting the puck over the glass right now. They are both to alleviate pressure, how one is a two minute penalty is comical IMO.
