Ive actually seen many penalties where the stick makes contact with the visor and not the face and it would still be called a penalty. The thing is, we can debate about penalties and non penalties all day long. Its alll about consistency, if ur gonna call penalties against one team, the same rules should be in effect for the other aswell. Right now i dont believe it is the same.
