Bigger Nets

[GirlySports]

CroFlames: the reason I would reverse the trapezoid so that goalies can only go into the corners to get the puck, they can't stop it behind the net.

But I would support getting rid of it too, they way it is now is dumb.

Getting rid of both offsides and icings would also reduce the number of stoppages. Basically, play would only stop on goals and penalties or when the puck goes out of play or the goalie freezes it. The game would be almost constant action.

Eliminating offsides is an interesting idea worth exploring, but eliminating icings would likely turn the game into a dump-fest...
