Yeah, I'm not a fan of allowing hits on the goalie (being a former one myself). Just the sentimental part of it I guess, I know how hard it is just to stop a piece of rubber flying at you in excess of 75 mph, I don't need 200 lb bodies flying at me at speeds of 30+ mph. Niklidstrom is right, the backup would become the most important player, and you would see a lot more forfeits because of the goalies getting hurt.
