That would certainly create more goals but would it make the game more entertaining? I think the result would be more long distance shots on net and even bigger goalies. I don't think more goals=better hockey.
I agree that the ice conditions need to be better.
Also, wouldn't the game open up a bit more if they reduced the need for guys that were there primarily to fight? More skilled players on the ice would lead to more skilled plays on the ice, I suspect.
