For NHL goalies, league’s new pad restrictions are a real pain
(https://www.washingtonpost.com/resizer/ozR_0Zucq05e11YHeOSEgyB1FrA=/480x0/arc-anglerfish-washpost-prod-washpost.s3.amazonaws.com/public/Z3ATXAGT24I6RJG3DBBRDUTRFE.jpg)

Vegas Golden Knights goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury has started to wear an extra undershirt to protect himself. Even with Braden Holtby’s Washington Capitals teammates toning down the power of their shots in practices, he’s started to feel the sting of pucks in ways he hasn’t before. The first month of new streamlined goaltender equipment, particularly around the arms, has been a painful adjustment.
“You get stingers and bruises and stuff like that,” Fleury said.
“Sooner or later, someone’s going to get hurt pretty bad,” Holtby said.
The NHL, in conjunction with the players’ association, mandated new chest protectors for goaltenders this season. The shoulders were reduced by roughly an inch so they’re more formfitting and less boxy, and the padding around the arms was also streamlined. The changes are part of an ongoing process to have goaltenders more closely resemble their actual size with the aim of boosting scoring around the league. Two seasons ago, it was their pants that got thinner.
“I think the width is probably the biggest thing – the width of the shoulders and the width of the arms,” Fleury said earlier this month. “Sometimes you feel a little skinnier, I would say. It took a while to find what I wanted, or what I would feel comfortable with.”
[Capitals’ John Carlson to Alex Ovechkin power-play connection keeps maturing]
Holtby said he’s been using CCM equipment since he was a teenager, but the chest protectors he received from company made him “more bulky, more stiff, and it kind of took the athleticism out.” He found a company that adhered to the new standards while also modeling the new gear off his beloved old model. His mobility is better now.
“You can deal with bumps and bruises and stuff, but you hope someone doesn’t get a broken bone out of it,” Holtby said. “If they keep making things like that, they’re going to have to start monitoring the stick technology because guys shoot so hard right now, we have no choice but to be bigger. … It’s okay now, but sticks keep getting better every single year. In five years, if we’re still wearing these, it’s going to get dangerous.”
NHL Deputy Commissioner Billy Daly said in an email that the modifications were delayed several years “to ensure there was a comfort and satisfaction level” for goaltenders, upon which the players’ association insisted.
“These have been very well vetted with the goalie community,” Daly said. “These revised standards were formulated predominantly with the idea of maintaining goaltender safety. So I think the current comments are more a matter of adjustment than anything else. Obviously, if we really have an ‘injury’/ ‘health and safety’ issue, we would reevaluate. I’m fairly confident that won’t be the case.”
The reduction of padding around the arms has led to the most grumbling. Philadelphia Flyers goalie Brian Elliott told the Courier Post he’s “getting bruised like crazy,” and Columbus’s Sergei Bobrovsky told the Columbus Dispatch, "You start to be afraid of pucks, actually, especially in the practices.”
[Maple Leafs’ Auston Matthews embracing the spotlight on and off the ice]
“There’s no buffer for impact,” Holtby said. “When a snap shot hurts, what if [Montreal Canadiens defenseman] Shea Weber came up on you [with a shot high on your body]? That becomes real dangerous, especially when your chest pads are right on your body, around your heart. You just hope the league doesn’t put fan experience before player safety.”
Through the first 114 NHL games of this season, scoring is up to 3.10 goals per game, a significant bump from last year’s 2.97 goals per game, which was the highest since the 2005-06 season. There tend to be more goals early in the year as teams iron out their defensive structure, but Holtby rejected a correlation between an increase in scoring and streamlined goaltending equipment.
“I get what they’re doing,” Holtby said. “You look at some guys and they look different than others. But as far as the scoring goes, no, it’s just turning into an offensive-based league. That’s just the trend it’s going, and who knows if it’s good or bad. That’s just the way it is. You’re going to see more of those games because it’s more wide-open with every rule change and every young player coming up. There’s no defensive stars coming up anymore because teams don’t take them. …
“You just kind of hope that they find a happy medium before [an injury] happens, where they can streamline the [goaltending equipment] size, cut down on the guys who were using extremely big [gear], but not take away from the guys who weren’t before. Because there are a lot of guys who look the exact same or even bigger with these now when you look at them. It’s just tighter to your body and a little bit more dangerous.”

Sheez I'm out of it...I didn't realize there was a game tonight. GO CAPS.
Too bad its 10:00. That's pushing it for my schedule, but I think I only managed to watch the first two games in real time anyway. Makes it hard to participate on these boards (except maybe for picking on Maaco's Carlson crush afterward) ;D
Hope the Caps show up for all three periods tonight.

Actually, with a 10pm start, I might actually catch the game on time....and be able to read the boards in real time.

Cmon CAPS!

Well, Lady’s travelin for work so. a 10start she’ll be able to catch in the AM, and I’m Detroit and going to NIN tonight. so warning in advance for (even more-so) adrenaline-chargerd sobriety challenged posts later on . . .

Hey Maaco.
I feel like a little bit of a heel. On the other Panthers GDT, I just now, added a joke comment to a post about your famous Carlson admiration. I did it before reading THIS new GDT, and seeing that you are bedside with your wife in the hospital.
I sincerely regret the timing of it, my friend, and simply hope the best for you and your wife. You all will be in my prayers tonight!

Yeah, Um Ditto that for me. I'm the one that started poking fun at Maaco's expense (well Carlson, but....) in the other thread and then I did the same damn thing - come over here and saw the bad news.
Bad timing, but no real ill will intended.

She had 2 blocked arteries. They installed 2 stents lastnight and feels better today. Might get home tomorrow.
Bad thing is today is her birthday and all I gave her was a fucking heart attack.

I dont want you guys to stop taking pokes at me. That's part of the enjoyment in being here. I wouldnt have it any other way.
BTW she wants me to watch the game tonight. She bought the center ice package for me and doesn't want it to go to waste. I think she just wants to get rid of me.
-
I may not be able to stay awake for this horsepucky, had bad insomnia last night, bright side is I found some new music
-
I doubt whether I will make it through the entire game but I will at least watch the beginning. If they play like they did in the first period against Florida it will be a short night. I am getting too old for these late games.

I got in here a little late it seems. I've been sleeping for hours. I was already stumbling tired when i posted the GDT and had to pass out.
I'm sorry to hear of you and your wife's health scare. I wish for you both a speedy recovery. I am sending all my best wishes for both you and you wife Maaco.
I knew it! Regarding your first couple sentences BTW.
-
I was sleeping and I kept hearing this fucking beeping and I was thinking "Who the hell put something in here that beeps?" Turned out it was my damn iPhone alarm going off. It seems the latest IOS 12.0.1 upgrade changed my usual Andrea Bocelli "La Voce Del Silenzio" alarm music. I finally got up to find and turn it off and realized the game was coming on soon.

I missed that. I'm having a hard time getting the lineups lately. Washington Post has stopped posting the lineups in the afternoon before each game.
OK, it seems I got it right. Burt is playing fourth line.

Damn! It seems all too easy to make your legs trip on an opponent and draw a penalty. That seemed as much Granlund's fault as it was Orpik's.

Good first period. Solid on Defense and great chemistry and effort on the attack.

Good 1st period by the Caps, if they can keep it up they should win this game. Vancouver is fast but we are doing a good job of keeping them to the outside and Holtby has made a couple of big saves.

She did very well today. Might be home tomorrow. Big difference from Saturday when her blood pressure was through the roof. In all honesty she handled everything better than I did. I was stressed right out.

GO KUZY! I LIKE him! 8) Another good pass from Dylan. I remember a few years ago we, especially me. were all complainig about how he couldn't backstop the PP after Greene went. Now he's 10 times better than Greene ever was. It took a while, but it was worth it.

Depending on how long you dozed, we goal two goals in the 2nd frame, Kuzy fired a rifle shot and Ovie crashed the next on the next goal and bounced one in from Oshie off his leg.

In the past Ovi wouldnt have passed that to Oshie. He has really become a team player.

3rd line on ice a little more often in this last half of the 3rd. Rierden may be trying to help Bura with some production!

I thought Bura was playing on the 4th line. I dunno I'm so sleepy I missed a portion of the game.

They may have mixed it up a bit as usual during the game, but Bura was definitely announced at the beginning of the game as playing 4L.

Now that is the Stanley Cup Caps I know and love. That was a very good game for us all around, especially in the third. They got one goal and we instantly battered down the hatches, not only took the offensive and work ethic aspect of the game including 5 on 5 in that third but also played stellar shut down play. Were nearly doubling them up in shots in the third.
I remember this being a trip that we did well on last year, perhaps I'm mistaken. But I do recall us heading through Western Canada the Van, Edmonton and Calgary trip if you will and having a bunch of good games last season. Perhaps my memory is just there due to recalling Kuzy dominating the Oilers and looking like the best player on the ice when challenged with facing McDavid. Obviously that team still isn't a full team yet, but I like that we use the W Canada trip to assert not just good games but games the way we should be playing. All three of the teams I listed fall into the youth/hype/speed train and they are exactly the type of teams I feel if we play the right game we can stutter down, control, and then score on. They allow us to really highlight our new identity, the one people finally saw more of in last seasons Cup finals.

She had 2 blocked arteries. They installed 2 stents lastnight and feels better today. Might get home tomorrow.
Bad thing is today is her birthday and all I gave her was a fucking heart attack.
. . . in some time, and many of us have been where you are, you’ll agree that quote makes one of the best t-shirts ever . . .
In the meantime give her our best and keep us updated
-
That's funny the guys in post game laughing about Kuzy having the right side office on the PP. I came real close to making that statement when he scored tonight.

Yeah I think you’re right Maaco. I just saw 65 getting a little more TOI,After the 10 minute mark
-
What a 'fun night. Thanks for staying up.
As for the hockey, I thought we did much better in our own end for the most part. It was much more business-like than previous games this season. I'm happy to be more entertained by you guys and have our team play this way, for sure.
lots of love to you and yours Maaco. :sick: Dylan did you proud. ;) Get some sleep luv. :hearts:

Backy is the first player from the '06 draft to reach 600 assists, and also sets a club record
-

It doesnt matter what line Burakovsky plays on. He sucks.
Thanks everyone for the support. I think almost everyone here offered support. Randi really appreciates it and so do I.

Ya I havent really slept in 3 or 4 days. Even the dog is stressed out. Pacing around the house.

Well, Burt looked a little better. 1 sog and a -1 though, in 10+ minutes.. At least his line did some decent forchecking. Pretty boring game, just the way I like it! ;)

I like those kind of games. Hate the wide open offense only games.

Hey Rush sorry I missed your call yesterday. I was at the hospital. Didnt even notice that you called until this morning.

There are sure pumping up Carlson tonight.
Maybe they read this thread earlier and thought maybe you would be absent so they'd help you out
:lol:

I posted about on the other side, I got bit by copper head a month ago right in the bottom of my foot
Sorry Alta, Not only did I miss your post from a month ago, i also just saw this one now. I've been having a rough last month, even for me.
That's some nasty kind of snake bite. About the last snake in America you would want biting you. I've run into many copperheads in my years of backpacking and I've been fortunate to not get bitten. I hope it heals up well. Now I understand the comment you made about having no necrosis. I was going to ask you privately if you were facing diabetes or something.

Maaco - just watched the game on delay and read the posts. Sorry to hear about your wife, but it sounds like she is doing better so that is great! I don't think it was a coincidence that Carlson had one of his best games as a Cap.
