Icing really is quite simple you can not pass the puck over TWO lines when you are at FULL strength if it will go past the line behind the goal.
In the past teams would RACE to get there first, so if you passed it over two lines and your guy got to the puck behind the goal line first then there was no icing.
But like all sports to speed up the game or stop injuries the Linesmen make a judgment call that the team shooting the puck in CANT get there first. As mentioned before if it is on net it is not icing.
One last thing if you shoot it over the two lines and someone can tip or the D could have intercept the puck the Linesmen can call it off.
