[vision 0]

He is talking about all those Finnish goalies using Vaughn gear. Might have something to do with the finnish importer being a goalie coach.

rumour is vaughn has a pair of pads for toskala since hes been complaining about his groin muscles

[glovesave43 0]

Teppo Numminen owns Montreal Hockey, thats why alot of Finnish goalies use those sticks.

Toskala looks good in his RBK'd Heatons though.

Who is the Finnish goalie coach/Vaughn connection?

The finnish goalies use vaughn's because in my opinion they are the best butterfly pad currently made. I am seriously considering buying a set of V3's. I went to my LHS and tried on all of the major brands and I found that the vaughn's were not only the most comfortable, but they also had the best butterfly roll. I think that the best goalie in the NHL in my opinion (Kipper) by using the vaughn's should say something about how good they are compared to the rest.

Is Kipper the best? I think he's a great goalie but he's been having a rough season if you ask me. But i think Marty Brouduer has been the talk of the season. About that, he doesn't REALLY use a rbk pad does he?

[Goalieman 0]

Well Technically it is a RBK pad, but all in all it's just his old CCM/Heaton model with the RBK name printed on it instead of CCM or Heaton.

[Gummer12 134]

The finnish goalies use vaughn's because in my opinion they are the best butterfly pad currently made.

So all the Finnish goalies call you up, and ask you what You like? Kipper may have had a great season or two, but doesn't necessarily vault him to the top of the charts. Remember what Rolly did with the Oil? Where is he now? Same with Wardo with the Canes. Is he great? sure. But I wouldn't put him up on that pedestal just yet. Everyone has their opinions on what pads are the best. If they didn't, Everyone would be using Vaughns, (IYO)

Cam Ward changes pads quite often, huh? Well not pads but colors at least. I really liked the Red.

[TBLfan 25]

I hate Ward-o's graphic but those are sweet.

[CH Goalie 39 0]

I dunno i mean they go good with the jerseys. (Graphics)

But eh red pads especially went well. Looked real good.

[TBLfan 25]

btw let me add... OMGWTFMAFBBQ :(

Anyone got pics of his new setup?

[pmchelli 0]

Fleury was assigned to WBS Penguins and doesn't have his gold pads anymore. If I find pics, I'll post them.

They're white, I know that much. But I want to see them. Apparently, someone revealed the old theory about white vs dark pads and how it may effect shooters.

My personal opinion is that at the pro level, these guys are too good to let things like a goalie's pad color effect them.

[DCott 0]

White pads aren't that great looking IMO, especially with dark jerseys. And after a few weeks they look all pucked up and scuffed.

[OhMyGodImOnFire 0]

I always heard that white was supposed to help you see the puck better if there was a "scrum" around the crease.

[pmchelli 0]

I'm pretty sure he isn't worried about puck marks with how many pads he goes through a year.

[thehighlife 0]

The reason most goalies started using more white in their pads is because the color white makes them appear bigger in size. I had first hand experience with this myself. I had a set of pads that were one solid darker color then got a new set that were mostly white with some red striping and a lot of people were commenting on how big my new pads looked even though they were and inch more narrow than my old ones due to the NHL sizing I got

[TBLfan 25]

best I could find(from GSBB):

Marty Turco. New set. I don't think this one has been done. Sorry if it has.

[camhockey16 5]

here is a little bit better one of fleury's stuff

[TBLfan 25]

WHO IS THAT?!?!?!

[thehighlife 0]

it's about damn time that he switched over to the Vegas gold in his pads. I never understood why he wore those bright gold pads when Pitts does not have that color in their uniforms
