Re: Rule Changes
IMO, if the player taking the hit lowers his head right before the contact, it should not be called contact to the head.
I do like the icing being called even when the offending team is short-handed though. IMO, its going to make the game more exciting because the short-handed team wont be able to always throw the puck to the opposite end of the rink to kill time. Not to mention its going to put an added premium on discipline because the odds of scoring on a power play will be higher.
