Wasn't this a problem for a little bit in Pittsburgh where he loved his mustard yellow pads too much? I heard he had to meet with a sports psychologist to show him that colored pads were hurting his game enabling opponents to see holes in his game easier.

I've heard that's just a general thing with all goalies, that any type of color allows players to see where they are showing better against plain white ones. But I've heard other things saying that is not that big of a difference and I think most people do enjoy the creative designs and colorful pads so it's a give and take.

Sounds like nepotism :)


Well it's his business. I just feel bad for the organizational professionals he leapfrogged, who are now answering to someone with less know how and experience because gene pool lottery. It also casts a shadow on Bill's "hire the best" philosophy.

I just think he is preparing his son for a day where he isn't around. Might be a good thing as we look 20 years from now.

So next step up, not insta-vault to Chief Business Officer or whatever position was made up. It's really crappy on morale for those who chose hockey mgmt as a profession and have worked hard to climb the ladder. Again, it's Bill's sandbox, he can arrange it as he pleases.....

I mean you can also look at the fact that they don't have a job without his old man?
