http://www.freep.com/article/201303.../Goalie-changes-on-docket-for-NHL-GM-meetings
NHL thinking about making goalie equipment smaller nets bigger. I dont like this at all, yes i understand goalies are getting bigger but at what point does this become soccer. Draft bigger goalies if you want to compete with this. Hockey doesn't need every game to be 7-6 to be exciting, I dont think the NHL understands hockey will never compete with the NFL and NBA in terms of market share, Stop tying to make the game more appealing to people who will never care. I'm not one of those people that thinks that any change to the game is bad i just think that changes like this are done with the idea that more people will watch if there are more goals scored.
Now what would have increased viewers would have been to sign the deal with ESPN when they had a chance, like it or not ESPN controls sports in America now and if the sport isnt on their network they will not talk about it.
