You said pads, nothing about the mask. The pads around him on his body don't help if anything they restrict his movement. It's not like there is a lot of body shots thrown in hockey. Potato. I like goalies who fight, I like goalies to put it on the line and show guts like every other player should. Him fighting cause he knows he has backup is the exact same thing as any other player that fights, your team will back you up.
