I know that this isn't legal and thus isn't GP to do, but if it were, I'd hesitate to call any legal game strategy "un-GP". You could go down a slippery slope and basically declare defense "un-GP" this way, or taking up the whole bar in 2004, etc. etc. Not only would this be an effective defensive strategy, you could pull the goal close to the field to allow for a short range dump, much easier to accomplish scoring wise than a long range shot. But alas it's illegal so the point is moot.
