Hi. I am a bantam hockey player and ive been wondering this for years. My answer came when i was practicing one day. i noticed that a flat stick might not give you any power not lift. the lift comes from the angle that occurs from the curve of the stick and the power comes from the flex and kick of that blade. more curve different kick point. and dont get confused because there are many kickpoints on the stick.
its easier to make a wrist shot and make a goal in top corner :D. also if it doesnt have alot of curve, it would be hard to get the puck to lift a lot. try it for yourself with a More curved stick and not so much curved one, theres a difference.
Who are the all time goalies in the NHL?
It's all subjective who the best goalie is. If you want records here they are: Most Shut-Outs by a goalie 103 held by Terry Sawchuk over a 21 season career. Most Games played by a goalie 1029 held by Patrick Roy. Most wins by a goalie held by Patrick Roy. Most minutes played by a goaltender, career: Patrick Roy, 60235 Longest undefeated streak in one season 32 held by Gerry Cheevers. Most consecutive 30 or more wins in one season held by Martin Brodeur. Most consecutive 35 or more wins in one season held by Martin Brodeur. Most consecutive 40 or more wins in one season held by Martin Brodeur. So just from the records you could say that Terry Sawchuk, Patrick Roy, Gerry Cheevers and Martin Brodeur are the all time goalies in the NHL. But if you ask any fan of hockey they will tell you who their favorite goalie is. Like I said, it's all subjective.
Why do hockey players fight all the time?
Players fight for a number of reasons. Some fight for dominance of the opponent, some to give their team an edge (mentally), some because they feel they were wronged, and some because it's a very physical game and they just lose their temper. If you remember a few years ago there was a lot of controversy as to whether fighting should be penalized more severely and just completely banned (wouldn't happen) because of the hit from behind on Steve Moore from Todd Bertuzzi. Some people fight just to fight and some fight to take an opposing player that can stop a game deciding play out of the fray. There are too many reasons to fight to list them all.
Answer 2:
In the NHL, hockey players fight for a few reasons:
-To make there fans stay interested and keep the game interesting
-Because it's there job, why else do you think some 250 hockey players that arn't near as good as the 180 pound danglers?
-To keep a handle on the other team. If there is a team of light weigh, skilled players and they are winning the game lets say 10-0, the opposing team will get very frustrated and kick the crap out of them. After the fight, the team may backoff and respect the other team.
