I agree that skater's pads need to be looked at but, the pads I really want to see change are goalie pads. Shrink them to half the size they are now and the sore sheets would look like those of the late 80s.

I'm sure with current technology they can protect goalies without those giant pads. I mean they've changed a billion things, no 2-line pass rule, shrank the neutral zone, expanded the blue lines, moved the nets twice, etc, all to increase scoring yet they barely tweaked goalie pad sizes.
