"I think the goalies are getting bigger every year. You look at the guys coming up, they're all big guys," Bishop said. "It's not like you have these small goalies trying to look bigger; if anything, these bigger guys are trying to wear less and be more mobile. The game is evolving; everybody is getting bigger. I don't think the equipment is going to make that much of a difference over time."
So then, how to solve the problem of decreasing offense?
"I think if they want more goals, they're going to have to make the nets bigger," Bishop said. "I know nobody wants to do that, but I think that's the only real way to get the goals up."
Bigger nets? And a goalie said that?
"Well, he's a little bigger than the rest of us. He can say that," Holtby said, smiling, referring to the 6-7 Bishop.
"I would probably do whatever I could to not let that happen," Schneider said Friday regarding bigger nets. "Ben might fit pretty well though. He's a big guy, so he could probably still be just fine."
