And I would counter with getting them to explain the last goaltender that was actually injured due to velocity of a shot. It's nearly impossible to score along the ice now as goaltenders have the ice covered. Look at that Hawks game were Emery essentially had pad along the ice all night and while you could fault the Flames for not getting enough pucks up high it also goes to show that the pads are just too large and cover too much ice.
