Lars Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 http://www.core77.com/blog/object_culture/a_hockeyplaying_students_puckstopping_design_12462.asp Reminds me of the coach who sewed football shaped patches on the front of his team's jerseys. They'll be sure to change the rules, but the ol patent will look nice on his resume. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Other Means Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Clever. The arrow slits in British castles have 2 horizontal crosses slits on them for much the same reason - in the heat of battle the archer would stand to get a shot of and see 2 slits, the slight "which to shoot for" decision is more likely to make him miss. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeatEtr Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Well, some guys like myself use the goal posts to judge shot location and where ever the goalie is, not necessarily his pads and equipment. But I suppose this can't hurt and it is clever. It's the same concept why some goalies use all white equipment. Back when I played net I'd try all kinds of things to mess with the shooters. A loud whistle to fake the sound of the ref blowing the whistle or yelling weird off the wall comments. One of my more successful tricks was to move my arms around a lot flailing my glove and blocker all over the place. It usually worked or at the least confuse or slightly delay their decision. Best used when facing a breakaway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
