Golf right, bat right, play hockey lefty. What's that say about my brain. Yeah, I know, dumb question.

Re: equipment change

The size of the goalie equipment. Look at video clips from the 80s and early 90s and compare them with clips from today, today's goalies look like the Marshmallow Man.

The NHL keeps talking about wanting to increase scoring. Well, shrink the goalie pads and gloves back to what they were. You can still use all the modern fibers and fillers, but if you cut the size back, there will be more net to shoot at.

add to that the equipment doesn't weigh a ton in this day and age. If hockey were to get serious they'd still pare down the goalies back. Change the nature of the goalie and you change the tactics.

The one thing I've noticed in my decade of college hockey is that everybody got faster... I don't think that's so much equipment because I don't think much has changed in the last 10... the players are better conditioned and you can't undo that.

Your cute insult reveals your pedigree. I'm guessing you played without a helmet or a face mask. They would have been a waste of money.
