devilsrule33 Posted May 25, 2003 Share Posted May 25, 2003 I don't think so. Don Cherry was talking about how small and light they were so he could move around fast and they showed him in warmups moving quickly with his pads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJayDevil Posted May 25, 2003 Share Posted May 25, 2003 I distinictively (sp?) remember Marty saying that his pads are one of the heaviest in the league. That's the way he likes them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westcoastdevfan Posted May 25, 2003 Author Share Posted May 25, 2003 Marty wears a 33" pad, small for his height. He wears CCM Heaton10 pads and I don't care what Marty says they are light. The designer of Marty's pads came to our store for a goalie show. I talked to him about Marty and his pads. (He even brought 2 autographed Brodeur jersey for door prizes.) He says Marty is easy to work with and his pads are designed for mobility when he skates and puck handles. Marty has also been using the same chest protector since juniors. Jiggy has an extended thigh rise, designed to close the 5-hole. Very legal but very frustrating because he gives little to nothing to shoot at. His shoulder pads are ridiculous but as the SBT said a man can not goaltend with pads alone. The Devils must force him to move around. He is not a great skater or puck handler but the guy plays his position so well. Make him move and the goals will come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rock Posted May 26, 2003 Share Posted May 26, 2003 Did you notice the shot from behind Giguere? Those goaltender shorts are really big. I didn't think Giguere was that wide a load in the seat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHICO IS GOD Posted May 26, 2003 Share Posted May 26, 2003 You think reading their crap is bad? Actually go to Anaheim for a game, Sharks and Kings fans a whole lot more intelligent when it comes to hockey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goobergirl Posted May 26, 2003 Share Posted May 26, 2003 Aren't these pads bigger or is it just that the photo is closer? http://pink-mist.org/love/hockey/skudra...39;s%20pads.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBT Posted May 26, 2003 Share Posted May 26, 2003 That picture is proof positive that pads don't make the man. Cause Skudra's numbers really SUCK. Despite the enormous pads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pepperkorn Posted May 26, 2003 Share Posted May 26, 2003 NYJay -- just fyi Distinctly = clearly, unmistakably Mrs Howell distinctly saw Thurston light up a cigar after promissing he'd quit. Distinctively = distinguished, characteristically Mr. Howell smoked his cigar distinctively (or in a distinctive manner) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJayDevil Posted May 27, 2003 Share Posted May 27, 2003 I'm really enjoying reading those threads in that "forum" (don't know if it's a forum or a Gated Community) http://www.mightyducks.com/fans/bbs/posts....d=195&tid=11087 That is the funniest thread thus far. Ahh, can always count on Flyer fans making fools of themselves and trying to believe their team is worth mentioning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
