Why are goalies allowed to wear such fuckhuge equipment? Seems

>>74458325

thats why this semen slurping """sport""" is not for me. just buy a big guy, put him into this giant space marine armor and 95% of the goal area is already covered. thats why even this one polish drunkard makes an excellent keeper. he just has to be there. no skill. it would be different if you had to play without armor like in football.

still doesn't answer the equipment question though

probably some change because of safety.

80mph pucks is your answer I think enough goals get scored already why does every score line have to look like basketball ?
>games are only exciting if tons of goals go in

>untrained fat guy is shit in goal
Who would have thought it? Any untrained person wouldn't be able to save those shots, regardless of how big they are. Also sumo wrestling is all about slow, powerful movements (which is pretty much the exact opposite of what you need from a goalie).

Bait or no, It'd be worth two minutes to send you into the boards anon

playing goalie is actually extremely, monumentally difficult (most goalies lose 10lb+ per game just from sweat), and players can shoot with insane accuracy at 80-100mph

Although I do think equipment sizes should be shrunk, hockey goalie isn't anywhere close to easy. Although if you've never played the sport and dont know how it works, I could see how you'd have this misconception.

Fuck you talking about, if you're all fat maybe, goalies are usually extremely athletic
