I know this is old news, but why did Marc-Andre Fleury change his pads?
I know Fleury changed the color of his pads a while ago, but I still don’t know why. I miss the bright yellow ones! Anyone know why he changed them?
When he came back from the knee injury and was in the minors, the Penguins showed him stats that goalies with colored pads have a substantially higher Goals Against Average.
This was backed up by an eye doctor from Ottawa.
So, he switched to white.
From ESPN:
http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/news/story?id=3263098
“During his injury layoff, Fleury was shown statistics that goalies who wear brightly colored pads tend to give up more goals than those who wear white pads.
The theory is the white pads tend to blend in with the ice, while the colored pads stand out and give shooters a better look at the goalie.”
