i thought about that my entire life - the NHL has put in rules about the size of the goalie's equipment and rules to stop the tricks that goalies used to alter their equipment has considered making the nets bigger - to increase the scoring because hockey was becoming like soccer on ice

goalies used to be very small guys, 5'5" to 5'9", if u look at old photos of goalies many of them were pudgy little guys. they were more fun to watch - then goalies got big, the equipment got bigger, and goalies figured out that it was no longer smart to move around so much, they all became butterfly style goaltenders who relied on their size, positioning, economy of movement and cheating to become almost unbeatable.
