But I've seen slap shots that I don't think I'd want to try to stop even in the pads.

If they do do hockey this year I expect it not to be a "shooting" game, in fact, I expect rules that expressly prohibit design of a device to/shooting pucks (if not disallowing excessive shooting speed similar to 2010). Herding and/or limited manipulation is probably the solution to a hockey-esque game, whether the piece be a rubber ball or some semblance of a hockey puck.
