Please get rid of the trapezoid in the NHL. It’s been long overdue, Brodeur has been retired for almost a decade now and I really don’t see the point in limiting the playmaking ability of goalies. I’m sure there’s an argument for the safety of goalies not getting hit playing the puck but that happens even with the trapezoid. If it’s an “unfair advantage” then maybe other goalies should learn how to play the puck. If a team can use their goalie in a way that makes them better, why is the NHL limiting that potential? International hockey doesn’t have a trapezoid and while I don’t watch as much of it as I do the NHL, it doesn’t seem to have any game breaking impacts on the game. So why has the NHL stuck with a rule that was meant to limit the one or two elite goalie playmakers? It’s time to get rid of the NHL trapezoid and let goalies develop a new skillet.
