Fact is people inherently resist change. Increasing nets is a viable solution, yet so many act as though its a non starter.
Sadly nhl knows its fans are stubborn cods and wants to cater to them and also resists creating too much change.

Changing the nets changes the angles. Angles the goalies use to stay square to the shooter. Angles they have been training to know for years. Changing the nets will leave a whole generation of goaltenders quite inept IMO.
Changing the gear doesn't change their positioning. Guaranteed goalies will want smaller gear before changing the nets.
When was the last time any major sport altered the dimensions of their goal?
