I support increasing the net size too. People who think it will lead to bigger goalies needs to look to basketball. Players are capped at a given size and the tallest men in the game are not the most tactile and athletic, barring a few exceptions. You're centres aren't usually you're best ball handlers, 3pt shooters and passers. They're usually good for posting up, defending and close range shooting. The centres who shoot 3's aren't 7'2", they're usually 6'10". Humans are capped as to how tall they can be.
Besides, the butterfly style caused taller goalies. The distance from the knees to shoulders determined how much space the players had above the shoulders and below the crossbar. The leg and arm span determined how much space a shooter had when a goalie shifted from one post to the other. All of which is determined by height.
