It is not a big deal to make the adjustment. Seriously, when you're on the ice, it's a matter of moving maybe 2-3 inches to cut the angle or go slightly further out to cut the angle. It won't take more than a month for the NHL guys to adapt.
The real problem is the chest protectors and the goalie pants. I own a pair of each and they are ridiculously big and they are the correct size for me. You don't feel a damn thing other than you've been hit by the puck.
Have the padding on the chest being tight, no more than 1-2 inches away from the body total. Not the huge width they are now. Luongo is a skinny guy and yet he looks like what you would imagine strapping goalie pads on McGrattan would be like. Just doesn't make sense.
