I think a lot of rules interpretation and enforcement happened during or because of 2002 worlds. This is why so many refs are calling a defensive foul anytime the puck touches something other than a stick or a head, no matter how it happens, 'cause that is how it was done in '02. Right now it is still dependant upon the ref in the water at the time and depending on their personal view of reality it may agree with the general population or not.

Might be nice to have the rule written more clearly, but that is a tougher task than it sounds. Try it. Find every instance in the rules where "playing the puck" is mentioned and fouls and re-write them to make them more clear. I have given up every time. I can certainly complain about what is there, but fixing it and making it better can be difficult.
