Happens a lot. You usually don't notice it unless the traded player is a goalie.

For sure, it's the other bits about the behind the scenes stuff that I found interesting.

I wonder if he was bothered by the jerry-rigged gear

I wouldn't be surprised. Spray painting gloves covers any air holes in the fabric.

Very interesting!

Thanks for posting this. So cool to see what really happens.

I find it odd they don't have shells like they do for pants. A quick sew job over the back part of the mitt.

Reminds me of when we traded for Anderson and he was still wearing his Avs gear & mask.

agreed, thanks!

Anyone catch the baseball game this weekend when an ump made a pitcher (Paul Clemens) change his jersey during the game (due to pine tar being on his jersey), and all they could muster in that short time was a jersey with 'Player' for the name and the number 91 (not his number)

Thanks for posting!

Love the behind the scenes stories. I wish more writers gave us some inside views like this.
