I don't exactly what the rule is in the WHL, I'll look it up later. Directing the puck in with a skate like they can now in the NHL is fine with me, I just don't want to see soccer-style kicking around the crease. Might not see players injured all the time, but all you need is for it to happen one time for there to be a really terrible injury.
