Finally.. something good from San Jose!
As much as I'd like to think these comments about the NHL's plan for new tighter fitting uniforms were a result of the beatdown that Dallas handed the Sharks last night - and quit your snickering.. three goals in a game from the Stars at this point in time is a huge offensive explosion - the truth is, the statements made by the likes of Jonathan Cheechoo and Mark Smith are plain 'ol common sense thoughts that I am sure will be echoed by many other players on many other teams as the uniforms make the rounds at various practices.
Quote: “These are to add protection?” Jonathan Cheechoo said.Yeah. Apparently the tighter fit holds pads into place better.
“It does do that,” Cheechoo said. “I’ll give it that. But it also gives opponents a bird’s-eye view of where your equipment stops.”His point: For players who are injured, opponents will essentially see an MRI of the body and know exactly which spot is most vulnerable. The sweaters hide a lot of that, particularly in the playoffs.
...
But some observers think the move toward tighter fits is meant to show off players’ bodies. It isn’t a totally irrational thought, since probably not many people know how closely Patrick Marleau resembles your basic NFL middle linebacker.
So let’s leave it to free spirit (Forward - Mark) Smith, who was wearing one of the microphones and whose feedback will probably leave CCM’s ears ringing.
“When I watch Modano skating down the ice and his jersey is flowing in the wind, that’s what I want to see,” Smith said.
At the end of the day, players were asked to leave their jerseys hanging in the stalls.
“I’ll hang it right in the garbage,” Smith said.
