I'm all for getting rid of the marshmellow men, but if they're going to reduce the goalie equipment size, get rid of the composite sticks too in the name of fairness.
Those sticks are an absolute joke at the pro level. It's the equivalent of baseball allowing metal bats (or something that the ball bounces even harder off of).
The current NHL administration, between the shootout, all the expansion and the constant rule changes has no respect for the history of the game. They'd do anything for a couple more bucks. In ten years the players will be carrying around puck guns or something.
