NHL fans, what's your take?

I hate the larger nets idea. I think great play in goal makes the game exciting. I hate when executives think that more scoring makes the game more exciting. Good play makes the game more exciting.

It's funny watching the NBA and falling scores and all the NBA execs stressing over it. They try to figure out how to increase scoring. Well, the way to increase scoring is by getting players that can shoot, not just that can jump out of the gym or dunk pretty. The NBA isn't what team basketball is supposed to be - witness our Olympic performance - it's all about the individual. Even though our USA Basketball team were by far the greatest athletes of the bunch, they have no idea how to play team ball.

I don't know enough about hockey scoring trends, but perhaps something similar is happening here?
