I think the idea is that currently no one even tries the exciting shots because the goalies cover so much area. So we have created a league where only garbage screen deflection goals generate offense. If forwards had a realistic chance at getting it through the pads, maybe they start shooting more off he rush and at down low angles instead of just the same get it deep then work it back out to the D for a shot from the point and hope there is enough traffic to get one to bounce through.
