>Pumping up goal-scoring remains a front-burner issue in the NHL, and still is a leading chatter item among fans. In about eight weeks, a nine-member committee, dubbed the Goalie Equipment Working Group, will wrestle with this age-old question: Does size really matter? Comprising four general managers and five players, the group intends to convene for one day (June 11 in Toronto) and settle once and for all what, if anything, can be done about modifying goaltender equipment, in hopes of leading to more goals and more entertaining hockey.What do you think, should they modify Goaile equipment?
No. I find hockey entertaining enough as it is already. Making goal scoring easier takes the thrill out of the moment when someone actually does score a goal.
pads can be made smaller, so cock suckers like giguerre will be shown how shitty they really are
I think whatever happens reebok should have to sit out on this one.
>>56725>What do you think, should they modify Goaile equipment?Yes.It's gotten so ridiculous that goalies with a 32 inch waist are wearing size 60 pants.Take a look at the highlights of the Gretzky era.The Goalies look tiny.
I can't wait for a score of 12-9 to be commonplace in NHL.
>>56756That's what I'm afraid of.I like the games like they are now, most of them being under 5 goals per team. As stated by Anon before I don't want them taking the thrill out of the goal. I'd rather stand up and cheer 5 or less times than 8 or more.
I doubt changing the pads would change the game that much, unless goalies are really really bad, a few more goals per team won't cheapen the game or anything
>>56768yes it will faggot
>>56780>>56767>>56756>>56734Devils fans detected.
>>56793am>>56734here..I'm not even a Devils fan lol. I've recently just gotten into hockey after years of not following.. I last followed around 1996-1998. Started watching again just last season and have yet to pick a favourite team.
Increasing the amount of goals in a game is not going to get people to watch. Everything is fine the way it is now.STOP RUINING MY HOCKEY YOU ASSHOLES.
>>56793the biggest fanboy on this thread calling other people fanboys.irony runs thick.
>>56885>on this threadwat
>>56884The game has been RECENTLY altered by the proliferation of obscene-sized goalie equipment.If anything, this change will help restore the sport to its true origins.
>>56887board*my bad
>>56895If we want to roll back the clock, we should reinstate two-line passing, and ditch the trapezoid and the shootout while we're at it. Hell, let's make the butterfly a penalty-drawing move while we're at it.
I can't wait until they make the nets soccer-sized just so that some yokels south of the mason-dixie may potentially in the distant future possibly develop some marginal interest in hockey.
>>56895Whatever you say, Bettman-pretending-not-to-be-Bettman-so-as-to-justify-his-asinine-decisions-and-wants-to-the-internet
>>56895You only want them to reduce the size of the equipment so your little faggot boy-toy can score more goals.
>>56895You're a fourteen year old girl, you don't KNOW the "true origins" of hockey.
