Maybe we can go back to standup goalies, wooden sticks, heavy skates, cooperall pants, and a broadcast schedule of 10 games / year.   |
You can't tell me that small pad underneath can't be added to protect the knee and thigh while not cover every inch of the 5-hole if they butterfly.
I do think you'll see a retread back to a more stand up style, and that's a good thing IMO. Butterfly is terrible on the goalies knees and hips.
