There is one big problem with going back to the 70s size: goalies are a lot bigger than they were in the 70s.
Plus, you won't see the NHLPA being OK with rolling back size of gear to the point where it lead to as many injuries as you saw in the 70s.
And it won't change the fact that goalies are better trained both physically and technically than ever before.
Chasing smaller and smaller goalie gear is a red herring.
The bigger issue is all the obstruction that the NHL won't consistently enforce.
Edwards and Sauve are listed at 5'9' 165lbs and 5'8" 165lbs respectively. I cant even fathom goalies that small as starters in today's NHL. Let alone one team having two goalies that size making up one of the best combos in the NHL.
