I'm not sure if its been discussed, although not related to goalie equipment maybe the NHL should look at making it illegal for players to lay on the ice. If the NHL wants to increase goal scoring preventing players from laying flat on the ice maybe the solution. I'm not saying players can't block shots by standing in front of the shooter, just no more flopping or skidding on their stomach in front if shots. If you look back in the 80s and earlier players blocked a lot fewer shots creating more passing lanes and more scoring opportunities.
