Yes yes. I also enjoy that he's paying homage to a guy who was basically a nobody. That's dedication.  

 

Did you notice the discussion about how the pads look bigger now?

Posted

Even though they aren't?

They may not be, but one thing nobody has mentioned yet is the change in leg pads. They are rigid now and remain these huge cinder block walls no matter what position the goalie's leg is in. When a goalie would go to his knees with the older pads, the top would fold and follow the bend in the leg, staying with the thigh, opening up the five hole a lot more. Now, the pad never bends and the five whole never opens up.

A lot of it has to do with making it easier for goalies to drop to their knees too. Having used both types of pads I will say that movement is much more natural with the butterfly pads that rotate and have a knee slider than with the old pads where you dropped on the face of them. I think the way pads are now makes things much easier on a goalie's joints and allows them to play longer and with less injury.

Meh.  Beginner's luck.

looking at the list of goalies in recent history to get shutouts untrue debut, it's not a great list. Only Mike Smith is a starter, Montoya is a backup, the others may not even be playing inter NHL this season (back down in the minors)

I feel like I'd be hypnotized if I was skating in towards those pads.

I'd be thinking, who's Briana?

 

Seriously though, is there any doubt it's not just a cool design but a design someone thinks will throw off a shooter? Should such designs be banned? How about the pads that, when put together, give the appearance of a five hole (black pads with white border, or vice versa)?

We may end up hating Garret Sparks down the road, but you can't help but feel great for the kid tonight:

I might get a little moist standing next to her. I like the glitzy, first star interviews some teams do. Unfortunately, a market that Ted Black described as "mature" would never stand for it.

The women in my life tell me moist is a dirty word. 

Almost as bad as cluster. 

 

Moist and cluster. 

 

Not sexy, I'm told. Not sexy at all.

Now you got me searching for ugly/distracting goalie pads. Enjoy my curated collection. Maybe we should resurrect the Art of Hockey thread or whatever it was called...

She's very attractive.

 

And a second on the moist word, not sure why, but if used I get the evil eye.

So you tell her the brownies are dry, and where does that get you? Sack up, gents.

Ew.

Also, really?!

I can see D4ark in the leopard skinned  pads.

 

The polar bear ones are really cool!

You get brownies? And you're allowed to use the m word? Wow! For me to sack up, I'll need them out of her purse.
