from CBC,
There are those who believe the NHL should enlarge nets, shrink goalie equipment and implement more four-on-four hockey to increase scoring.
Former National Hockey League forward Scott Mellanby fuelled the debate during Saturday’s Hotstove segment on Hockey Night in Canada.
Mellanby suggested the league break from tradition and have teams defend the end of the ice opposite their bench in the first and third periods.
Entering play Saturday, 2,058 goals had been scored this season in the second period, compared to 1,683 in the first period and 1,844 goals (excluding 185 empty-net markers) in the third frame.

The best part about this idea is that there is some logic behind it, and if it is tried for a year on a trial basis, they can look at the numbers and see if it is actually having the effect they want - and if not, toss the idea out.
Much better idea than basing rules changes on suppossitions and anecdotes.
