And soccer balls are also far smaller relative to the goals than a hockey puck. You can fit roughly 10 times as many pucks in a goal as you can soccer balls in a net.

Constant 5 on 3's? Why would that make any sense? I don't even understand the point you're going for here.

Why would fluke goals increase more? Good shooters would also have more room to shoot at, and theoretically goalies would have a harder time making saves across more space even if they knew where guys were going to shoot. It's definitely possible that guys who could pick the corners could take better advantage of a bigger net.
