With that said, all 5 Buffalo players should have had their gloves off before Miller hit the ice. That's the softest thing I've seen in a while and I'm a Caps fan.

Other than the rules say you can't, I'll agree.
I think they should be fair game when playing the puck outside the crease, but until the rule is changed, it's a penalty.
The part of the argument that makes no sense to me of the Lucic hit is that he was still pursuing the puck. His stick was not on the ice for like 6 strides. A bang-bang play like that, if you are going for the puck, your stick is on the ice, reaching for the puck.
