I agree John. And this year, the NHL decided to raise the penalty by not
allowing a line change. To me, intentionally icing the puck seems to be a
tactic that requires little or no skill on the part of the defense.

I see icing to get a breather more like hauling someone down to
prevent a breakaway. You do something illegal and willingly accept
the penalty, because it prevents a situation more dangerous than the
penalty itself.
