Interesting posts on Sens Town, ie, Leclaire's new pads, and revamped Ottawa Senators official website.

I was expecting better for the Pads...

I kind of like the retro Sens look for the pads, they are better than those bright yellow pads Fleury used to have with the Pens

Not feeling those pads just yet... we'll see...

Yeah, the pads are very odd to say the least...

I like them

guess we are the odd balls Tuk, not the first time I have been classified that way.

Ah, but he is a butterfly goalie, no? When those stripes are horizontal, it's a completely different thing, is it no?

:^^^^:

I wonder if he could have wrapped the stripes around like a barber pole?

Not a big fan of the pads, either.

Funny you mention Fluery, tho' -- who changed his pads upon the advice of some optical expert, who assured him that coloured pads, while fancy, make things easier for the shooter. Colours define the pads, making them stick out against the background (white ice, white boards, white mesh), thus better defining the space the goal is covering and the space he's not covering.

I hope he switches to white. Put colours down the middle if you must, but leave those outsides white, white, white.

I think I remember hearing that, it was an optical expert from Ottawa if I am not mistaken that was talking about this. Leclaire will be too good to allow any of the shooters find his holes. I hope anyway :^^^^:

I noticed this on the new Sens page, was wondering if there is anyway to get GM Hockey listed on there as a board, noticed they Senschirp twitter account listed on there, would be awesome if GM hockey could get on there, which would attract more members I am sure.

Yeah thats the same thing that immediately comes to mind for me. Since hearing about that initially, I'm always skeptical about non-white pads
