It has been an ongoing discussion again in the NHL ever since Milan Lucic crushed Ryan Miller. It should be simple: If the goalie leaves the net, he should be fair game.

Milan Lucic and the Bruins will have their likely have their heads on a swivel on Wednesday night when they head into Buffalo for a matchup between the top two teams in the Northeast Division.
