Anyway, Dryden is right. Nets 6 inches wider, 4 inches taller, reduce the chest pad a bit to address the "suddenly higher shoulders" thing, and you'll barely be able to tell on the broadcast.

This will make it essentially impossible to dump to the back corners as an attacking team during the breakout I take it? The defenseman when skating back would be close enough to the icing line (hashmarks) that it should always result in icing. Instead, they would have to do the dumping at the blue line, or do more lobs that don't cross the icing line instead.
