Crazy how 3 layers of various protective foams, plastic inserts and added shot blockers in the gloves really don't protect the hands.

Hope Perry is not hurt

I guess there is still lots of room for improvement in terms of equipment technology, especially concerning helmets, although I doubt you could ever avoid 100% of concussions

ALWAYS comes down to comfort and mobility. Pros have always been willing to sacrifice some protection for those two things. Problem with helmets is that they make them for 2 types of head shapes, therefore most don't get a proper fit, which is why most get concussions.

At least CCM is making a 100% fit to measure 3D printed helmet.

need to go back to the OG style. i am sure they can make them light enough and they would offer more protection.

Just flipped on and saw 2-2. Turned it off immediately.

Some cut holes so they can get the best feel on their sticks. Drives me nuts

bobby baun and carl brewer used to cut holes in their gloves to grab jerseys without the ref noticing.

for sure, hence why it probably isn't easy to come up with a material combination that is light enough to not hinder comfort or mobility while still sufficiently protecting the player.

those 3D printed helmets sound interesting, they must cost a fortune lol

obvs. habs are getting away with holding all over the ice. do it if you can get away with it.

the level of interference in the league is about back to the dead puck era.

ehhh criss de tabarnak

You need to do this more often

Jonathan understood that long time ago.

Nope. "Traditional" 4-roll gloves have the smallest coverage of forearms
