His previous Mach glove did not have the new Bauer logo on the cuff though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatCarGuy Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 The only goalie I've cared about for the past month or so, Vasilevskiy has gone back to an NHL Spec CCM. Pretty sure this was a forced change going into playoffs because his last chest was confirmed to be oversized by Bauer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johncho Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 Oh I fully agree that it doesn't pass the eye test. But was it really confirmed to be oversized by Bauer? I can't find anything on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never got a confirmed answer until presumably he was out of that chest. Images like this caused lots of doubt that the chest was legal. Part of the reason the arms look huge is because NHL arm restrictions mean the arms are actually deeper than they are wide so in theory if you wear the arm sideways you cover more As @coopaloop1234 said, Vasi did switch at some point last season to the CCM. At least on the night of the Cup winning game he was wearing it 4F41AA33-0D1D-4339-88AA-940CEA996B82.webp Edited June 20, 2022 by ThatCarGuy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a story, and I want to say it came from InGoal, but the story highlighted Victor Fasth and his Bauer 1S chest got pulled after it was previously accepted based on how he looked on tv. Fasth confirmed to InGoal Magazine late in the season that the NHL cut the shoulder pads on his chest-and-arm unit this season, but that didn’t happen until after he was already off to an 8-0-0 start to his NHL career. To be clear, Fasth wasn’t cheating. The NHL approved his gear, as it does with every piece of goalie equipment, and neither Fasth nor the Ducks made unapproved alterations. The shoulders simply looked bigger on him than expected. Edited June 20, 2022 by RedX 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of ridiculous, lol "Here's some dimensions and rules which we feel will make it fair while still protecting the goalie" "Nevermind, it looks too big on TV" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichMan Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 Lets not forget that HOW you wear the chest protector can give an optical advantage. Not saying someone cheated here but we aren't in the trenches hearing and seeing all that goes on. If you take a current NHL approved unit, loosen the back straps a little, loosen the arm floaters elastics a little and if possible reposition the shoulder wings, you could end up looking like Giguere and still be within regulations. Just look at how sloppy Tokarsky looked in his set up. I thought he was simply overweight lolll. Look how massive Lehner is yet he's all legal and wears his snug to the body. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
