Not exactly sure about it being a short term impact. Any goaltender that relied on the larger equipment to aid their game likely isn't going to get better in other areas to compensate. That said the changes are pretty subtle and I expect will result in a small handful of goals scored on a weekly basis that may have previously been stopped in equipment. Nothing earth shattering but a worthy change and anything that results in a few extra goals is worth it in a league where goaltenders are getting bigger.
