Remember on GSBB I think it was Temple who was a no toe-tie advocate? He had a whole thread devoted to convincing all of us to not use them at all. And have nothing attaching our skate toe to the pad toe. I don’t see anyone saying that anymore. I tried that for half a session. Cobbled laces together and finished with laces.

Thats why elastic ties are so great. All the benefits of no ties, no drawbacks, and the additional benefit of helping your pads rotate back which can be helpful depending on how tightly you strap your pads.

Just because a big name pro goalie does something and it works for them doesn't mean it'll work for me or you or whoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goalieThreeOne Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 I might have imagined this, but did I hear that some NHL team's Owners/GM's/Coaches restrict the colors their goalies could use on their pads? I want to say it was related to Calgary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could be wrong on that, but I definitely remember seeing the whole black pads thing being mentioned somewhere online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to say it was related to Calgary. Yes, I believe it was reported by InGoalMag: http://ingoalmag.com/gear/mike-smith-debuts-new-ccm-premier-ii-flames-setup/ There's also this article from NHL.com: https://www.nhl.com/news/colorful-goalie-equipment-becoming-popular-again/c-278676288 1 hour ago, Murray said: The Red Wings are notorious for having to give final approval on gear/mask designs. That explains why everyone's worn boring white-based sets forever. Jimmy's switched it up with the all-red sets recently, but something other than basic Vaughn designs is long overdue around here.

Yeah, it's in this video: https://www.pscp.tv/ben_scrivens/1djGXwEXnyjKZ?t=0 Not sure when he says it, I'm re-watching to get the exact time. EDIT: 28:20 "I had someone from management feed it down the line where I wasn't allowed to wear black pads in LA" I was also wrong, they were the Iceberg graphic not the Pulse graphic. Oops!

Fullright Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Blackhawks under Dollar Bill Wirtz and Bob Pulford dictated colors too. Goalie masks had to be white. Mike Veisor put the tomhawks decals on his bucket and they wouldn't let him go on the ice. Pulford got on Skorodenski about his masks. When Bannerman went all in with the Native American mask, Pulford was already parked in the Veep suite and Dollar Bill was just too infirm to say much.

Ghostender Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 FR - you are bringing up Veisor and Bannerman - are you trying to show your age? Thank God I'm not that old, I mean it's not like I watched Bannerman in his junior years with the Cougars or anything.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
