Icing
Puck over glass
Goalie freezing the puck outside of the crease
All treated the same - no line change - for the first 7* instances each period.
Everytime thereafter it's a penalty (in my fantasy world it would be 1 min along with O-zone infractions, etc, but I digress).
*I don't know the exact right number, but probably somewhere between 5-10.
Punishes teams who have been under siege, rewards teams who haven't (can kill pressure more easily late in periods).
In my fantasy world, periods would only end when the defensive team at 0:00 achieves possession outside their zone, so you can't really rely on killing things indefinitely this way
