In the late 1960's Roger Nielson was the coach of the Peterborough Petes and did't like penalty shots. In one game, he was fed up when the opposition was awarded one and decided to go about it a different way. he decided to pull his goalie, and instead put star defenceman Ron Stackhouse in the net. When the opposing player touched the puck to begin, Stackhouse charged at him and hit him, ending the penalty shot.
Should we bring back the ability to do this now? I don't see why not. The team who have up the penalty shot is running the risk of the opposing player just shooting it in, while the goalie having been pulled means the player defending the goal has free reign to block/poke check/body check the player with the puck.
Penalty shots are already exiting, imagine adding this to the mix. I think it could prove for some incredible entertainment if it was allowed to happen again.
