DelayedPenalty Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Pads are all custom fit, custom sized, customed colored. It takes a while until they're completed, then the goalie usually wears them in practice to break them in before using them in a game. Same case for masks. The foam padding is custom molded to their head. These things can't happen overnight. Yes it looks a little weird, but that's the nature of getting traded. I'm sure it's already uncomfortable enough going to a brand new team, without having ill-fitting equipment on top of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still MIGHTY Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 When the Ducks and Kings completed their first ever trade with each other in 2008, the Ducks received Jean-Sebastien Aubin from the Kings and it caused this horrific monstrousity:Yuk.

vman Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 There are North American goalies in the KHL who still don't have their new masks 5 months into the season. 3 days is nothing to complain about. One just has to look at Dan Cloutier to see how a change in masks can outright ruin one's career. I'm sure Rolo isn't worried about his mask clashing for a while if it means he's comfortable.

Sports logo message board or not, some of you people need to remove the collective sticks from your asses about little things like this. He'll have it repainted by the "All-Star" break.

loogodude90 Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Jhonas Enroth in Portland Pirates gear after being called up:I can understand that a little more, since the Portland Pirates are affiliated with the Sabres. So they are basically the same organization but at different levels. I think that's a lot different than wearing a logo of a team you are in direct competition with.

The Isled picked up off the waiver wire on Sept. 28th before the season began.

nash61 Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 He never actually played a game for them (traded to Flames almost immediately for Curtis McElhinney), but I found this gem.
