I do appreciate these composite sticks give everyone a missile for a shot, and I’m all for some allowances on the chest pad front to ensure we don’t have $50M worth of starting goalies on IR with collarbone issues every year.
Gloves and blockers are fine.
As I told my ex, “fix the legs and chest and I’m happy.”

Have you seen the size of those things?
An NHL glove could catch a US Government-Issue weather-balloon and the blocker is the size of a Stampede BBQ pancake griddle!
