Old School Fool Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 I was playing NHL 06 a minute ago as the Penguins, and it zoomed in on the Goalie and I couldn't help but noticing his mask was using the very happy and scarf wearing Penguin from the teams beginning. Even weirder is that half the crowd was wearing the Lemieux Era jerseys, and I didn't see anybody wearing the 98 aways that the team had on in game. P.S., Retro jersey or not the goalie wears the current helmet design in this game.2nd P.S., I smell what The Rock is cookin'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBM Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 More to the point, why the hell does Marc Andre Fleury wear yellow-gold pads (even in real life)?? Someone should tell him the Pens switched to Vegas gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColeJ Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 More to the point, why the hell does Marc Andre Fleury wear yellow-gold pads (even in real life)?? Someone should tell him the Pens switched to Vegas gold.black and yellow are the colors of the cape breton screaming eagles... he had yellow pads with cape breton, then wore them in his NHL debut... those ugly loud pads sorta became his trademark.i hope he never changed them. i hope he wears them if he gets traded somewhere like toronto, that uses zero yellow.

Shumway Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 I agree, I love the pads. If he goes to any other team, he should basically do what he has now and take the brightest color he can. I guess with Toronto, some nice royal blue pads with white or silver trim would look nice.And in the NHL games, it doesn't matter what uniform your team is wearing, the goalies pads are essentially default for all. If you're the yellow Canucks, Cloutier(since you're playing '06...in the dark ages ) will still wear his navy/red/silver pads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reaper Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 More to the point, why the hell does Marc Andre Fleury wear yellow-gold pads (even in real life)?? Someone should tell him the Pens switched to Vegas gold.The bright yellow pads are to draw the shooter's eye away from the negative space (i.e. where the goalie isn't) in order to supposedly give Fleury a visual advantage one on one.

The bits of gray in the pads were also from the Eagles uniforms (though they officially changed the uniforms this season to the Penguins current jerseys, only with that same yellow instead of Penguins gold.)--Roger "Time?"

EatSleepJeep Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Andy Moog used his bright yellow Boston Bruins pads for the Stars after being acquired by Dallas. They had enough puck marks after awhile that they darkened to a decent gold color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theodore's was somewhat similar as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letterform Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 I like the yellow pads. They almost look like leather. As for the masks, EA actually does make a point of getting most of the starting goaltender masks right. Most of them look pretty good.As for the uniforms not being accurate, I guess I can take part of the blame for not calling them back and taking a job when they came looking for me. Oh well.

As for the masks, EA actually does make a point of getting most of the starting goaltender masks right. Most of them look pretty good.No they don't. Most of the default logos are generic representations of the starting goaltenders' masks. DiPietro's mask may have the stars like his mask in real life, but it's just adorned with the Islanders' logo on the forehead, unlike the real one. Backups have generic masks with thet eam logo, and Dominik Hasek has a CCM helmet with some strange-looking cage that may or may not really be protective in real life. Once upon a time (read: 1998-2002), EA tried to make them as accurate as possible, but I think the reason for them going to a kind-of-looks-like-the-real-thing-yet-isn't-the-real-thing policy there was a flap with the artist of one of the goalie's mask, so they went to the current system starting in 2003. [Croatia National Team Manager Slavan] Bilic then went on to explain how Croatia's success can partially be put down to his progressive man-management techniques. "Sometimes I lie in the bed with my players. I go to the room of Vedran Corluka and Luka Modric when I see they have a problem and I lie in bed with them and we talk for 10 minutes." Maybe Capello could try getting through to his players this way too? Although how far he'd get with Joe Cole jumping up and down on the mattress and Rooney demanding to be read his favourite page from The Very Hungry Caterpillar is open to question. --The Guardian's Fiver, 08 September 2008 Attention: In order to obtain maximum enjoyment from your stay at the CCSLC, the reader is advised that the above post may contain large amounts of sarcasm, dry humour, or statements which should not be taken in any true sort of seriousness.

Bulls eyes are against league rules, as a goaltender myself i wanted a pair of custom pads with bulls eyes bellow my knees, dead center, and although they were willing i was politely informed (as i had already known) it was a little unfair to the shooter (like i care) however i opted for the traditional look for cost purposes.
