I rear ended you but I had the intent to brake.

Not sure how you can compare driving a car with playing a hockey game. Your analogy doesn't work here. I hope I don't even need to get into why.

Also, using an injured player example is a whole different ballgame.

Isn't that making a rule for the exception though? It's not often goalies get knocked out by a shot

The injury example was intentionally extreme. The same would apply if the goalie lost his mask, or the goalie covered the puck.

I think a decent analogy is if a team enters the zone offside and immediately rips a slap shot that goes in before the linesman can blow the whistle. Just because the puck entered the net before the whistle was blown doesn't mean it should count.

I think by and large people hate "intent to blow the whistle" because there is a large amount of ref-specific subjectivity to it. That, I agree with, and can be frustrating. But the rule itself I think is fine.
 
If Hank gave up that terrible goal that we just scored we'd still have the usual suspects looking to blame everything and everyone else possible. I just read 6 pages of passive aggressive nonsense where, as per usual, the GDT gets hijacked by the never ending quest to pretend like only two or three posters know the TRUE way to analyze goaltending and hockey in general.
