Rule change idea: allow changes after an icing, but from the bench at the whistle

That’s even worse lol.
The point of the rule change was to stop the slap it down the ice just to get be able to change. ust like the delay of game penalty for crowd sourcing the puck

Thry could change the icing to where thr puck must cross both blue lines and the gosl line. If you clear your zone it isnt icing

For offsides they could make lines at zone faceoff dots and make 3 line passes offsides. you must clear the zone completely if the puck exits the zone at blue line otherwise it is off sides. You could also make a backpack violation if player is opposite center ice to a player inside the blue line

This sounds stupid and complicated. Officials already can’t ref the rules we have in place. Why do you expect them to uphold more rules?

Personally I’d rather see icing be a discretionary type of thing even if that means putting more judgement calls in the refs hands. A guy dumping the puck in a few feet behind center ice should be let go. Missed stretch passes or a guy panicking in his own zone and launching it down? Icing
I'd just like them to waive off icings more often when the defending player is taking their sweet ass time getting back trying to get the icing.

Whomever ices the puck also has to take their skates off and put them back on the wrong feet for the remainder of the period.

And

what they SHOULD do is change the puck over the glass penalty to the same as an icing.
No, they most definately shouldn't. Players would just go back to happily throw the puck over the glass anytime they are in trouble.

The last thing hockey needs is to make things less skillful. If you can't play yourself out of pressure, tough luck, you shouldn't get out of that by lobbing the puck into the stands.
Icings can happen for a lot of reasons, including a pass that didn't quite connect. Shooting a puck over the glass, on the other hand, only happens when someone takes the laziest way out of pressure.

All you would accomplish, is punish teams that try to create pressure, while helping teams that are lazy or bad.

Pretty much every single time a puck goes over the glass it is unintentional. What are you talking about?

And yes, it happened before. But stop acting like it was a pandemic. It was a rule change brought about in the nhl's desperation to increase scoring. It had nothing to do with the frequency of the event.
