Question Game nets

I have an important matter that needs to be cleared up regarding the nets used in NLL games. In every game that I've watched so far, I've noticed that the nets don't have any of those little metal bars inside the posts that keep the net from being dislodged.

In NHL hockey, they have those little metal pegs that keep the net from being dislodged. Well.... why don't they have those same pegs in the NLL? Too many times before the posts get jarred loose because goalies and other players would sometimes accidently push the nets off.

When a goal is scored WHILE the nets are dislodged, the goal usually counts. Personally I don't think a goal should stand if the ball goes into the net while the net is loose like that. A goal like that wouldn't stand in the NHL and I don't think it should stand either in the NLL. What do you all think about the NLL putting in small pegs in the floor to prevent the net from getting all loose and moving around. I for one think it's a great idea. Please let me know what the rest of you think. Thanks.
