For me it is less about the total amount of goals scored and more about how goals are scored and being necessary to grow with the times.

Look at goalies in the 90s, the early 00's, and now and it is night and day when it comes to equipment size. Even just going back to 2002 and you see a big difference in the size of equipment.

My preference would be to keep net size the way they are but to crack down on the size of goalie equipment. But if that fails and the union claims goalie safety then you just increase the size of the nets by an inch.

The other thing I want is a 3-2-1 points system. The issue isn't too much with a team with a 1 goal lead in the third, since the other team pushes to tie, but when a regular season game is tied with 10 minutes left in the third. Make regulation wins worth more and you will see teams trying harder with a tie game in the third.
