I agree with what you said. Goals per game are comparable to where they were at 15-20 years ago, as well as in the 1950s and 1960s.
Goals are considerably down from the late 1970s and 1980s. Larger goalies are merely properly offsetting the offensive gains made from better sticks and the slap shot, which had temporarily provided a scoring advantage and boosted goals per game.
Rather than it being a problem as implied by the article, larger goalies have balanced the game back out and returned it to where it was.
