Wow. It was like reading those air plane emergency booklets. Illustrations and everything. Got to say that the Q&A at the bottom had some priceless replies in it!

Those illustrations... man, oh man... but I'll tell ya; things would be a lot more fair if players actually had to wear goalie masks to play:

how awesome would your GAA be if all players held their stick like that!  Over-hand grip baby.  I guess I've been doing it wrong all these years!

Bend your ankles slightly and shift your weight to the outside balls of your feet.By standing this way, you’ll be able to move quickly if you need to readjust your position. In addition, this is a stance from which you can easily fall to the floor or slide to block a shot.^[4]

I am considerably dumber for having read that.

@jeff da goalie Don't go full dumb. You NEVER go full dumb!

There was one picture in there talking about proper equipment and was using a players helmet. And another showing all the equipment and had shin guards. I love the internet!

Quick! Someone send this to NHL on NBC crew so they can understand how goaltending in the early 2000's worked. Most of them still think it's 1992.

Then maybe we'll get them updated to 2010 by next year. Then maybe they'll even be able to figure out what an RVH is for!
