You really can't compare basketball with hockey. For one, in basketball if you take a buzzer beater the ball is off the ground the whole time - if it hits the ground at any point, the game is over. So if hockey adopted the same rules, the puck could not touch the ice until it crosses the goal line for it to count... The fact that the puck is usually on the ice or very near the ice when a shot is taken complicates things a lot. If the puck hitting the ice doesn't stop the clock, what does? If it touches a player or stick? How about if the goalie gets a piece of it... The rule needs to stay as is IMO.
