The Goalie Equipment / Net Size Argument Is Intriguing
Darren Pang and Ben Bishop swap goalie gear.I'm not on here to sell hockey to the masses. I more thrive on being Don Cherry-esque and tackling the tough hockey issues from time to time. Goalie equipment size and / or net size is an issue that has been grinding my gears for a long time. To be honest, I hate the lack of entertainment value from goaltenders nowadays compared to the old days. By old days I mean, pre-Jean-Sebastien Giguere Conn Smyth days with the Ducks as they got to the Finals for the first time. (Look it up. It was over a decade ago.) He won the Conn Smythe trophy, wearing insanely oversized goalie equipment.
