technophile 0 Report post Posted October 27, 2012 But if it's a close race and the offensive player is in the lead, they let it go and he gets buried by the defenseman. Why does it matter who is leading a close race when just having a close race is dangerous?This is exactly my thinking. If what you want is to get rid of the dangerous close races, get rid of the dangerous close races and just go for no-touch icing. Linesmen still have the flexibility to wave it off (or they could be given it) if the forward will obviously get to it first -- my own league uses a no-touch rule that allows for that -- but you eliminate the close stuff.
