What do you mean? All pads from different models are different.
It would be like people saying all hockey sticks are the same as long as they
can put pucks in the net. I don't even notice when a player switches different
sticks with different blade curves.
Besides talking about the designs and colour schemes, more importantly,
performance and quality from one model of pads to another can stir up a big
discussion among goalies. It's pretty important stuff. But I wouldn't expect
anyone to be talking about that stuff here. Cause that would be in the gear review thread.
And Reebok currently has 3 different models that pros would use, but the
designs on the new pads that Luongo is using doesn't fit any of those...
so I'm suspecting that's a custom designed Reebok pad...
or it's just a completely different pad, and "Reebok" paid Luongo to just put that logo on the pads.
