Hockey Goalies shouldn’t get those leg guards

Scoring has been at record high the last two seasons if you can’t enjoy it don’t watch

I disagree with getting rid of pads but I 100% agree with limiting the size.

Pads in the 80s compared to now are insane

And they freeze the pucks before the game.
Just think when they used to not wear masks.

Lemme guess, they shouldn’t wear cups either?

That’s a dumb retort to the OP.

Goalie pads don’t look the way they do to protect the goalie. They are designed to block as much space as possible. Otherwise they would look like catchers gear.

You could protect the goalies while not letting them wear billboards on their legs. Though I’m not arguing you should.

They basically just lay their legs down and block 80% of the goal

If they couldn’t do that the sport would have more scoring and may actually be worth watching

Tell me you don't watch hockey without telling me you don't watch hockey.

Scores the last few season are at highs. It's been pretty wide open and a blast to watch ever since the likes of Detroits left wing lock was retired...

Good lord they were good but that was some boring arse hockey.

Have you seen a defensemen take a slap shot? It’s like they’ve been shot. They’re hobbled and can’t skate off the ice - usually takes a couple of players to assist the guy off to the bench.
