I think a lot of people involved with hockey seem to think back to some bygone era of high scoring as the peak of what the game should be (generally the 80's and early 90's.) If I played in that era I'd probably be nostalgic about it too.
The game has evolved into something else, and I don't think that's a bad thing.
If we had to watch floppy technically inept goalies let in wrist shots from the side boards today, we'd be losing our minds.
I dunno, I'm just not seeing any massive issues with the game, not enough to need a fundamental change like net size increasing. I think its fair enough to keep an eye on equipment sizing for goalies.
Also, with taking out the red line, cracking down on clutch and grabbing, 4 on 4 and now 3 on 3 situations, how much more needs to be done? Its not like players haven't had anything done to help them have more space out there. I don't want to see a point where goal just become a given. I like that players have to battle, make passes, make the goalie move. That's how it should be.
