NJayDevil Posted May 25, 2003 Share Posted May 25, 2003 Not the same position, Gig is flashing his left leg out and Marty is flashing his right but pretty much the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJayDevil Posted May 25, 2003 Share Posted May 25, 2003 Oh man perfect DM. Chest protector and pads are definitely bigger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBT Posted May 25, 2003 Share Posted May 25, 2003 J-S has bigger shoulder pads, that's for sure. As to the other equipment, you need a more comparable viewing angle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Puddy Posted May 25, 2003 Share Posted May 25, 2003 Yeah, Giggy's pads extend farther above the knee than Marty's. I can't tell whether or not the width is much different, though. Officially, there's only a restriction on the width of the pad, not the length. Rule 21 (b) from the NHL Rulebook states: The leg guards worn by goalkeepers shall not exceed twelve inches (12") in extreme width when on the leg of the player. No attachments such as plastic puck foils are permitted. Calf protectors must follow the contuor [sic] of the calf and ankle and can have a thickness of no greater than one-and-a-half inches (1 1/2"). So, unless Giggy's pads are wider than 12", they're perfectly legal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBT Posted May 25, 2003 Share Posted May 25, 2003 Jiggy's pads have been measured. Yes, they are legal. Forget about the pads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSkirt Posted May 25, 2003 Share Posted May 25, 2003 Exactly. We learned last round that Chara's stick is quite legal, as he has an exemption, even though it was significantly longer & provided a phenomenal reach over the other players.

We learned last round that Chara's stick is quite legal, as he has an exemption, even though it was significantly longer & provided a phenomenal reach over the other players. Presumably, the exemption was based upon his extreme height. Chris McAllister, who is 6'8", also uses a long hockey stick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dagwood Posted May 25, 2003 Share Posted May 25, 2003 I saw a report of TSN a little while ago that said Giggy uses a bar that attaches between his shoulder pads and his goal pants. That means when he goes down, the should pads lift a bit. It seems like that should be illegal if it's indeed true. As far as the leg pads go, and to confirm what another poster already stated, there is no restriction on the height. Because of their hieght/length it allows him keep the five hole covered while down in the butterfly. I was somewhat concerned that this loophole has been left open by the rulebook, but what can you do. I guess that Giggy is the one who has to play with these pads flopping everwhere and I did notice that when he is on his knees, they stick straight out as compared to wrapping around his knee. That exposes his thighs to a hard shot but then again, he probably has some thick plastic there to protect him. I will be watching to see how your Devils beat him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LizDevil30 Posted May 25, 2003 Share Posted May 25, 2003 Some one call The Guiness Book, Giggy has no shoulders! Where the hell are his shoulders? He has more padding than a mattress! I think he can be beat if you just make him move. I don't know how well he can move with bedding strapped all over him. High should beat him, I mean can he even lift his arms? If all the equipment is legal, something has got to change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KitKatTGM Posted May 25, 2003 Share Posted May 25, 2003 I'm so sick and tired of people wondering about Jiggy's pads! A goalie cannot win on pads alone. Jiggy's simply a wizard at blocking shots and has excellent hand-eye cooridination. He's going to be a challenge for the Devils, but the Devils are up for it...right?

Hickmania Posted May 25, 2003 Share Posted May 25, 2003 Let me just say: MICKEY MOUSE DOES NOT DESERVE A STANLEY CUP! It would severely tarnish the glorious finish of the cup to see it parading about Disney World or Land or whatever the hell it is down there--it doesn't matter what it's called, it just wouldn't be right. These cartoon characters killed my Wild vs. Devils dreams, so I'll just have to settle with seeing them get dominated by the Devs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
