While its an interesting idea, it might be too dangerous to implement.
Which five slobs get the short straw to stand in front of an unobstructed slapshot from the point on plays that happen 5-10 times per game?
Because you know that teams would just stack guys in front of the shooter and hope for the best.

And (despite the thread title) it would not have to be a shot. If they defense chose to form a wall, that would leave many other offensive players open, and I think that the player with the puck would also have the opportunity to move right away, making a wall a poor defensive choice.
