I think most people that are against larger nets are those that worry that goal scoring records will become meaningless even though that's already the case. A goal in the 80's is not the same as a goal now. Ovechkin would probably have a 100 goal season if he played in the 80's.
Increase the size of the nets by wrapping the new goal posts around where the current goal posts are located. That will keep the height/width ratio the same and I bet most fans wouldn't even notice the difference unless they were told beforehand.
