The league is so quick to adapt as while the obstruction is not nearly as bad as 03-04 it's so difficult now to get pucks on the net as it's like there are two to three goaltenders to beat with players putting their bodies in front of shots regularly. Combine that with the ever increasing size of goaltenders and it's getting hard to score again. It's kind of how the Flames can lost the possession time battle and keep teams off the score sheet as they block a lot of shots and Hiller for example is a big guy that gets his body in the shooting lanes to stop pucks.
