It’s a horrible rule and here’s why: playoffs the refs largely let the teams play, they call less, particularly in overtime. So infractions are being missed / ignored all over the ice. But this silly puck over the glass thing cannot be ignored because the puck is literally gone.
Now it’s too late to get rid of it, and you need some deterrent so players don’t take advantage of it. But I would propose it is changed to a 1 minute penalty, instead of two.
