Goalies started playing more butterfly when they were allowed to keep adding more and more padding around their legs. No one batted an eye when goalie pads became the items doing the blocking instead of mere protection for the things doing the blocking (the legs)
Goalie Pads should not be able to come as far above the knees as they do. If goalies need more padding on their upper legs, provide that padding in the pants, not in the pads. There's no reason why a goalie should be go down into a butterfly and have the entirety of the bottom of the net covered. A goalies legs should have to be completely together to completely remove the five hole, not a foot apart like they can be now.
