A bigger net just doesn't feel right. The goalie pads, maybe, that might be an ok change. I agree with Luongo (and many others): call the holding penalties so people go away from doing it, then the game will speed up. If you do that, it negates the trap which is what slows the game down most. I'm not sure why the 2 minute penalty is met with such wide appeal but it always is whenever it comes up- I'm basically indifferent to that.
