Seems to me that this would open up a situation that would be very
easily abused by the "victimized" team. It's not too hard to imagine a
situation (especially if the offending player is a "star" player and
the recipient is a marginal player, third goalie, etc.) where the
injured player stays "injured" for longer than he would have in order
to keep the other team's star out of key games. I'd hope the coaches
were above that, but it's a possibility.
