3 points for a win in regulation
2 points for a win in OT
1 point for a shootout win
0 points for a loss of any kind

This would eliminate passive, play for an OT point mentality and make the game more exciting.
Leave the goalies alone.

I don’t care if it means making the net a little bigger or the pads a little smaller, too many records are forever unreachable as of now.

My argument exactly. Here are pics of Eddie Giacomin. Note that the pads are close in size, but not as well shaped as today. The catching gloves today are the size of Utah, and note that Eddie doesn’t look like a sumo wrestler to fill out the top of the goal.
The problem, however is safety. Wood sticks didn’t fire the pucks like the composite ones do today. The velocity and whip effect of the composites make the pucks much more dangerous for the goalies. Get rid of the composites and deflate the goalies padding. Without getting rid of the composite sticks, their size reduction of padding will at best be extremely minimal.

You want the keeper to have the same sized equipment that they did in the 50-60s. This is just stupid. Why don’t you go tell the players they have to use wood sticks which may or my not be a straight blade. I don’t think then we would have such great shooters and passers. Shots wouldn’t be as hard and then you could maybe think about decreasing the size of the equipment.

“The looser fit leaves air between the gear and body to cushion the blow, whereas before it was like bulletproof vest – it may save your life, but you’re going to feel it. Mason used to finish practice with bruises all over his ribs, but said there is more, thicker padding along the outer edge of his new chest-arm unit, whereas the older one was “pretty much just like fabric” along the outside and over the side of his rib cage.” (http://ingoalmag.com/news/bigger-gear-means-fewer-bruises-better-play-for-columbus-goalie-steve-mason/)

goal pads are bigger, yes, but we have come far from when we first saw Lundqvist’s thigh rise. Even now, his this rise has been tamed a bit. Goalies who don’t wear extra knee protection need some sort of knee protection and that is why you see a thigh rise. Brodeur shouldn’t be looked at as a guy who still wears equipment as it should. He now has a pad with a good amount of thigh rise.

As to goalies being fair game outside of the crease is also stupid. Goal equipment is designed to protect the wearer from the puck, NOT from another human being plowing into them. Forwards chest protectors have hard plastic shoulders that cover the entire shoulder. And for the most part the protection all around the skaters chest is the same all around. Now look at a goalies chesty. All the padding is in the front. There is no protection on the sides of the shoulders or the back. No protection is offered if a goalie were to be hit. Also the fact that all goalies playing the the NHL have played goalie for their entire competitive hockey career means they have never had to learn the proper ways to take a hit. There is always a proper way to do things and taking a hit is no exception. Just like how there is a wrong and right way to falling off of a bike or skateboard, but you don’t know those things coming out of the womb, they have to be taught and learned.
