It seems that I am definitely in the minority with respect to this question. I expect to see yellow and red cards issues for aggressive play, but not for smart play. The gracious professionalism of breaking certain rules has already been discussed in another thread, particularly in an excellent post by George1902, and my follow-up.

The rule being discussed is different, but I think the same logic applies. I'm certain you will see teams intentionally driving into their opponent's home zone after the start of end game, and I would not expect to see it frowned upon.
