I think that I would definitely support a rule change to where an intentional
dislodging of the goal in the last say 5:00 of the game is a penalty shot.
Perhaps, the rule enforced throughout the game, but that may result in
too many opportunities for a judgement call like that to determine outcome. I
agree with Doug though, if the only thing to deter a team from doing that is a
minor penalty (maybe), then in most cases , in a situation like the Maine-NU
game was in, there is no reason not to do so. It is better to give them a
power-play and try to rely on your special teams (especially with 7 seconds
left) than to allow the excellent scoring chance to develop.. Often, a team
will only get a warning anyway. If the rule doesn't allow for warnings, just
an automatic shot, I think it might be an imorovement.
