Goalies are the most protected and safest players in the game.

I also hate the idea of making nets bigger though. It's not like the goalie's height or length of body or limbs is the issue. Making it more difficult to reach with the glove or blocker doesn't accomplish anything except possibly causing goalies to strain their muscles more.
