Exactly, I was about to say the same thing. I'm a former goalie too who has recently switched back to regular blades, and this was recommended to me. Flattening the blade will also give them more of a "goalie" feel, it definitely helps as you make the adjustment. Then afterwards just gradually get them sharpened more and more every time, until you're back in the game.
For the record, it's much easier going from goalie skates to player skates than vice versa, so at least you got that goin for ya.
