Equipment rule is fine. I think the goalies may even improve their game with lighter equipment and thus be more agile than ever.
The rest is pure garbage. A high scoring game does not make for more exciting hockey. A tense 1-1 tie game with lots of awesome scoring chances, and even more awesome goalie saves makes a great game. Getting rid of the Red Line and the Two line pass rule would help this.
And not being able to play the puck???? Goalies like Brodeur's, Belfour's, etc great puck handling and quick passes during a change-up create scoring chances!
Now they need a limit on how long the goalie can hold the puck since they cannot be hit. Maybe a delay of game penalty if they hold onto the puck for more than 3 seconds or something.
They want to minimize injuries? Ain't gonna happen if the goalie can't stop the puck when it's shot into the zone. How many players (defence and forwards) are going to be going full tilt at the boards when the puck is shot in and the goalie has to let it cycle around the boards.
