Yeah alot of the taller goalies are having a brutal time right now. Not cause of the Pad changes but because of the Paddle length change.
Basically if your a tall goalie now you cant use a stick that fits you. |

And Lack is supposedly getting the start against the Flames tonight..........we'll see how they do.
Oilers looked really disorganized..........and Torts went off on Acton...that was funny.

Very true. No differentiation between 5'11" and 6'5", all of whom can use a 26" stick, but you have to be 6'6" to use a 28" stick. Robin Lehner is a goalie who's affected by this, and was explaining that now that his stick is 2" shorter than the one he's been using for 5 years he has had to alter the way he bends his legs, the way he bends his back....basically, altering his entire stance. All because he's 6'5" and not 6'6".
I can think of only one goalie that is 6'6" or taller: Ben Bishop (who is 6'7"). Anyone I'm missing?

But if you goto NHL.com and sort the goalies based on height... You notice alot of the tallest goalies are getting killed.
Its was a brutal time to change the rule. Should have been done at the end of regular season.
It would be like going to Chara and removing his exception for the tall stick. That would be fun watching him wiff on everything |

I know it's only a few games in but I'm seeing more Five Hole goals than ever. The
small change to the pads (on some keepers) is causing them grief.
