I'm very much in favour of experimenting more with the crease rule and experimenting with it's size. I agree with Nik in that it's unfair that offensive players can move into the crease and the defensive have to move out due to the time limit. My opinion is if an offensive player moves into the crease then other defensive players can do this also and not be constained to a time limit. If the offensive don't score a goal in this instance and they move out of the crease then the defensive have to move away also, this is where the time limit rule inside the crease should apply.
Increasing the goal size will of course make scoring goals easier and double/triple goalies less effective but it won't improve the experience of the game from a playing or spectating point of view. Having the crease rule will improve the flow of the game as all players except the goalie will be moving around at all times (unless an offensive player enters the crease).
