Blue Jackets | Goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky feeling the sting with smaller chest protector

Bob needs to stop crying and remember all of this is about protecting the fragile egos of the namby pamby momma's boy forwards.

Elliott bruised up
This season the NHL has continued cracking down on smaller goalie equipment. Last year it was “form fitting” pants. This year they’ve tackled the chest protectors.

So far, the Flyers’ starting goalie is not a fan.

“I’ve already sent a couple emails to Kay Whitmore (the NHL’s vice president of hockey operations who literally signs off on every piece of goalie equipment). I’m getting bruised like crazy on my arms,” Brian Elliott said. “I think that’s the biggest issue, they take away padding in the arms. It seems like every shot that you take that’s not clean on your blocker or in your glove, it’s leaving a mark.”


You too, Elliott.

And you too Connor, as if that's even a real name.

And Mark Andre Fleury. Pfft. What does he know. He was released IN AN EXPANSION DRAFT

Who cares if it's a safety risk? Huh? Think about the feelings of some pansy who plays 45 seconds at a time for once in your life, eh?

To all the goalies. Gerry Cheevers says hello

Maybe they will come up with some rules to protect the goalies.

So, you're suggesting we go back to wooden sticks with little to no curve and athletes whose training regimen consisted of beer and hot dogs? Very well, I accept.

You do whatever you like, your pads can't save you. Goals goals goals, you can try not to think about them but they're always coming and they ain't stopping... :wink:

Please try and keep up. Goals being stopped and fragile egos being broken is why we went to this less safe equipment to begin with.

If the goalies were still doing this training regimen they would have a lot more natural padding :D

I resemble that remark.

Reached for comment, Phil Kessel stated "Wait, I thought we were already doing that."

Was there some time in the past when there were no goals at all then? I'm simply reminding you that pucks have always been going in nets and will continue to do so :wink:

Yes, and they have been going in at a far lower rate than years past, and that upsets some people and there aren't enough binkies to o around.


I, for one, have not given up a goal in at least 6 years.

Wait. Are you saying that Auston Matthews is NOT the second coming of Gretzky and Morgan Rielly is not Bobby Orr reincarnated?

Stop being vague, man up and just say it is all because of goalie equipment. Then accept the ridicule and abuse you will have richly earned.

:D

The modern goalie is a combination of superior intellect, incredible athleticism, heroic courage and top notch equipment.

And the only way these cowardly forward twats can feel good about themselves is if there's a way to start trying to hurt these superheroes.



It's a tale as old as time. :thumb:
