seagoal Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Korpisalo rocking a nice VE8 set with a perfect use of color on a white base. Nice continuity with the CBJ logo and the hockey stick graphic Another brand switch. Anderson in Bauer with a suspiciously pointless leather strap at the knee.

I might be wrong, but I think its in the NHL gear regs that pads must still have the leather knee strap to make sure the knee block doesn't protrude beyond the overall width of the pad (not that it makes a damn bit of difference in most cases as the guys wear them so loose anyways and its primarily the knee lock doing all the work!)

Fair enough, must just be a comfort / tradition thing for some guys then EDIT: Just scouring the memory banks, I think my impression that it was an NHL reg came from some gear rundown where whoever it was being interviewed said 'I've got the leather strap on there still so Kay doesn't think I'm cheating' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seagoal Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Yeah, there are no requirements on strapping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyledjean Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 My guess is that Anderson has seen the videos of guys using only Velcro having their pads come off and this strap is to prevent that. Wish I could remember where I saw it to post as a reverence but it had a player crashing the net, clipping the goalies right pad while down. This caused his entire pad to unstrap except the toe strap. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he, like many others, is just a bit stuck with having at least one leather strap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was in 2016 before the major strapping revolution. With the newer elastic set ups they do the same job as the leather strap.

seagoal Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Wow, I've never seen that video before. Great stuff. It'd be so awesome to have every goalie in the league do this for a series of videos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing the reason Scrivens had to have the strap was because he doesn't otherwise have a knee lock (being reliant on his own 'professor' strap) that'd keep the stack from flaring out.

dstew29 Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Any Rangers fans catch this one? Hank practicing in what’s looks to me to be a VE8 glove. He does have roughly 1 million pop outs per season so maybe a switch forthcoming? Hmm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
