About 5 years ago I threw the goalie pads on for the first time in about 15 years. Wow times flies!
For me, it was my glasses. When I stopped playing I didn't wear glasses. So I didn't wear any on the ice. Yeah, anything shot over a foot off the ice or from behind the face off circles, that was a goal. Simply couldn't see the puck.
Also muscle memory was still there, but I was bigger. Angles were way off for the first 10 minutes or so.
All that said. I miss it.
