Might as well just reduce the number of players to 4 a side
I understand what you guys are saying, but I just don't see the NHL letting the game fall into an endless parade of penalties while the players get re-accustomed to how the game should be played, or worse yet, have the refs call it through the regular season, only to see it disappear in the playoffs. Bigger nets are easy to implement, don’t require interpretation from the refs, and are the same size in the 1st period as they are in the 3rd. It doesn’t fix the problem of holding, but it at least brings some offence back into the game.
