A product of the disposable world we live in. It’s just “onto the next”.... nothing has soul anymore. It’s just a short shelf life. The classics Roy, Broduer, Richter, Beezer, Belfour.etc are gone. Classic designs have been swapped for the flavor of the every couple months. Sad Ah man, I meant to say the same thing about 'disposable culture' — you said it well. On one hand, it's cool to have a variation of masks and see new designs and techniques. But it really does chip away from the 'value' of a good design when it's only around for a few months. Quick and Rask are exceptions to the rule, at this point. Most guys have a new mask at least every season, and when you factor in all the charities, the myriad of special-occasion games, and businesses like DaveArt wanting to debut new looks, we're seeing some guys go through 2 or 3 a season. Hard for anything to really resonate when it's always on to the next one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over/under on when his seasonal hot streak will be this year? Before or after he goes back to the gym mat blue pads after a rocky streak, and there's yet another "goalie controversy" with him?

Mike24 Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 I’ve heard it said on boards. That when a goalie wears all white. He wants a trade, knows he’s getting traded. Maybe the same thing applied to all black back when goalies wore colored gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunnyman666 Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Allen would be best served with a trade. As a long-suffering Blues fan, I am tired of good goalies traded away for an up and comer that never came to the game until they were traded!

stackem30 Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 So many goalies (when asked) admit that they switched to all-white or white-based pads for the supposed optical advantages they provide. So when a guy does go from a colorful set to a white-based set, it feels a little bit like they're waving the white flag — no pun intended — and saying, "Oof, I need all the help I can get." That's my personal interpretation, of course. And even if I'm correct, there's nothing wrong (or unusual) with an athlete seeking every little advantage they can find, even if it's just a mental edge. Still, it feels as if there's something... desperate about it. I don't know, but it doesn't dispel confidence in my eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stackem30 Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Forget about the Love Guru... BRING BACK THE GOALIE GURU!* *For those who aren't familiar, there was a guy on YouTube called "Goalie Guru" who made a series of really bad videos ~10 years ago, critiquing NHL goalies on shootouts. He also used these videos to develop some half-baked theory that NHL goalies don't react, they just guess and throw some mustard on shots to "create the illusion" of making a save (I mean, kindddd of correct when you're talking about shots from in tight, but his theory was really a mess). He also claimed he was a professional goalie coach. Overall, his videos belonged in the "so bad that they're actually great" genre. I remember the videos got absolutely roasted on the old GSBB, and I want to say that the guy made a brief appearance trying to defend them... ultimately, I think it got kind of mean, and he stopped making them. Maybe a more veteran GSBB member can refresh my memory? Either way, they're still on YouTube, and are well worth the irony-watch. There are other Goalie Gurus on YouTube who seem to have legitimate camps, but I don't believe they're the same guy at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stackem30 Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Honestly, I might have liked that set better if they didn't have the huge Coyotes logo on the pads (or the blocker — and I'm sure it's on the glove). Still, might as well go for broke when it comes to those jerseys. Pretty epic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seagoal Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Wow, those are stunning and amazing. I don't like them, but wow. I think I'm officially not a fan of splitting a logo in half on leg pads. How regularly is that going to look good outside of goalie-less photos?
