Taking out the goalie interference rule could have some serious backlash. As soon as "a guy like Hossa" starts clobbering a wee goalie like Kippersoff for example we're going to see tons of injuries.
I'm not saying these guys need to be treated like ballerinas, but once the gloves come off the goalie is going to be the first guy carted of the ice on a backboard. And as the Canucks learned this year...back up goalies are backups for a reason.
The one change I would like to see in the NHL is the removal of the curve limit on the sticks. Sometime in the 60's they decided that a heavily curved stick (bananna blade) made wrist shot's too dangerous. Well guess what, the goalies are wearing ballistic armour these days, fire away boys. A harder, faster, more accurate wrist shot would result in alot more 'pretty' goals from the slot and the top of the circle (or the blue line for that matter, when's the last time you saw a blue line goal?).
