I think the opposite. More waved off icing, to speed up the game.
The intent of icing was to not reward a team for relieving pressure.
Consider a good stretch pass that just misses. Wave it off. It wasn’t a desperate team trying to dump the puck out, it was an aggressive team trying to score.
Don’t penalize that
