    Do you push your head forward like a turtle too?

    It reminds me of when dudes try to show off their physique by leaning forward to crunch their abs in a standing sit-up, which looks so ridiculous.  It's terrible posture and not flattering at all.

    i tend to yeah😂 so uncomfortable to be in that position tho, i only do that when trying to look thru screens and see low shots

    and yeah it looks stupid

    I never noticed how much he stands like Giguere, threatening you with his shoulder numbers.

    i have a tendency to crouch like that in my stance and it feels so awkward

    Think of it as a locking mechanism.

    Because Warrior pads use a neoprene strap, there isn't a lot of resistance behind it. The nylon strap acts as a final barrier to keep your leg/knee in place.

    ah makes sense

    they should try something like a scrivens strap if thats what theyre going for

    I use mine to snug up the sling wrap.  With the knee pads the whole velcro portion doesn't attach so I don't want to have it come undone.  The best tutorial on Warrior strapping is here... Featuring @Kirk3190

    ah

    So I shared this in the group chat for one of my teams.

    Let's just say that the guys who wheel their bags we're a tad sensitive about it. :rofl:

    Sorry, the strap thing is ridiculous.

    I'm not saying lighter straps aren't something to aspire to or prefer, but do people really think Hellebuyck or Hotlby are "weighed down" by a few extra straps? That those straps are affecting their quickness, their energy? That they're making a difference in whether they make a save or not? Goalies from decades ago still wore stuffed leather pads with tons of straps, and they were still better and quicker than anyone on this board. 

    It's fine to prefer less/lighter straps. But they're not going to make you a better goalie, or help you make a save. Sometimes I think on a subconscious level, many of us love to focus on our gear, because it's far easier to 'work on' than technique or training. Instead of worrying about strap weight, I'd work on your skating and conditioning instead. That stuff *actually* makes a difference in whether you make a save or not.

    i dont think it in the slightest (Holtby + Hellebuyck being weighed down) I used them as examples bc they have a lot of straps. its not the right reason of leather straps for weight reducing. its innovation. like @TheGoalNet has said, the advantage of velcro straps is that u can wear the pad really tight and still get proper pad rotation, and it makes the pad quicker to take on and off.

    Agreed. I'm not going to notice that weight. QK5 is weight difference is pointless only plus I see is durability advantages over leather. 
    I think less straps are popular for us lazy cucks who just want to have more time to chug beer before/after our ice times (we all know that's the most important part). 

    yeah its a gimmick lol. hate changes just for the sake of changes. if taking away leather straps made a drastic performance change in a goalies game it would be a different story. ccm has been very ¨if it aint broke dont fix it¨ w their gear designs and it was unneeded to change the strap material, looks like just a selling point
