Kelly Hrudy had an excellent piece on HNIC where they used a 3D goalie model and trimmed down each piece of equipment while still providing protection.
Then they showed the two models and how much more space the shooters had to shoot at.
Based on that I think scoring off the rush would significantly increase as the shooters have 100% more open space then they do now.
It was really effective coming from him as he addressed all of the protection issues.
