Just a question as Bedard came very close to hitting the goalie in the face with his stick. 
I assume the goal won’t count if he hits the goalie’s head, as it would be high sticking?

 

It's a bloody good question. He was quite close.

Simple fix...if stick makes contact with the netminder in any way, disallowed goal, and penalty called.

I love this idea. Goaltending has always been dangerous, the last thing they need is to get speared in the face by someone trying the Michigan.

Actually, I think it depends of the goalie. If a Michigan prevents Fleury from getting past Patrick Roy, then it's a 2' for high stick + 10' misconduct against the player. If it's Binnington in net, I'd give a 10' for unsportsmanlike conduct and an additional 2' for instigator against Binnington.

No, for 2 reasons:
1.  It would be considered the follow through from the shot.

2.  No high sticking penalty if any player gets hit in the head with a stick while they are on their knees.

Thanks for the answer. That does make sense. However I do believe it is only a matter of time before a goalie takes a stick to face.
