Just crazy to me to see a goalie's pads that far off the ice standing up. Things have changed so much in the last 20 years.
But when you're never on your feet it doesn't matter.
… that’s one of the weirdest things I’ve seen for sure. I often dream of getting into goaltending coaching, but then I see something like those pads (and even just skates without cowls) and I feel 1000 years old.

Owen Say, G, Notre Dame (Calgary Flames)
The Flames have had some really solid goaltenders run through their organization of late, especially talented rookie Dustin Wolf. They've added a new masked man to the fold by signing Owen Say to a one-year ELC starting next season. Say is a 6-foot-2 netminder who started his collegiate career at Mercyhurst before transferring to Notre Dame. Despite the Irish struggling a bit this season, Say was a bright spot with a .920 save percentage in 27 appearances. He played his best hockey at the end of the season, helping the Irish oust Minnesota in the Big Ten quarterfinals before dropping a 1-0 decision to eventual Big Ten champion Michigan State during which Say had 45 saves. He turns 24 in June, and is likely destined for significant time with the Wranglers in the AHL.
It is 2025, you are actually welcome to say that now.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but 1985 was a lot more than 20 years ago!
1985 was exactly 20 years ago… 20 years ago.
God help us, I'm old.

I guess if you add the two 20s in your sentence together you are correct!
That was the idea.
