Bring Back The Old Twine

from Daryl Reaugh of Razor With An Edge,
Here to suggest the NHL reconsider the goal nets they currently utilize in the great frozen game.
Simmer down goalies, I’m not pushing for larger dimensions. What I want is a return to the less taut, more cascading netting of yesteryear. A return to that once upon a time when goals were accentuated by the billowing of diamond shaped nylon as the vulcanized rubber disk sailed agonizingly past the guardian of the twine, and dramatically popped the netting from its lifeless, drape-like state. (I tried to catch the flavor of the memory)
Nowadays, like most things in society, we want it over with as soon as possible so we can move on to the next “moment”, so they’ve created a scenario where the puck trampolines out of the net like a tennis ball off a racket.

I’m on board with this one. I’d like to see those nets billow again… and the puck get caught up in that fold halfway up the back (no replays needed there!)… and those goalies who’d refuse to touch the puck while it was still in the net, forcing a linesman to go in there and get it.
