I've couldn't agree more here. This is what we need in the game. Sorry, i've been advocating for this for years as that's the rule growing up in Minor Hockey and then it changes once Junior hits.
Anyways, back to the high sticking. No. Don't change the rule and keep letting the guys come up with more creative and exiting plays. If a goalie chooses to throw his head into the stick to stop the puck, then it's a good play by him if it stays out. Fully protected.
