i know its 6 on 5.

But if you ice the puck with 6 guys how do you get to put the goalie back in? Who gets to come off when the 6 guys can't change?

What? No. It's a terrible rule that has cost plenty of teams games for no reason. It's not like they're TRYING to flip it over the glass.

It is a great rule if you were around before it. Teams used to throw the puck over the boards to delay games all the time on purpose. They also changed other rules in 2004 that without them games were delayed previously. After 2004, the average time for games dropped substantially due to that rule change and teams getting penalties for delaying faceoffs. It is great.
