Radie's NHL10 Goalie Edit Project

[UwantRadie]

Short & sweet for now... just letting you guys know what is in the works...

I will be doing Goalie Equipment Edits based on the latest real life equipment. As not all color schemes/pads are in the game, I will have to occasionally make the pads look as close as I can instead of 100% accurate...

• Version 1.0 - NHL Goalie Equipment - Starters & Backups.
• Version 2.0 - AHL Goalie Equipment - Starters & Backups.
• Version 3.0* - International Leagues (TBD) Goalie Eqipment - Starters & Backups
• Special Olympic Version

Will release work as I go.

Will be in easy to view spreadsheet form.

Will have more info with first major update.

* Possible version if demand is there.

These links will always contain the latest changes.

Would truly appreciate comments and critiques on these.
Click the asterisk next to each team for notes on the team's edits (and in many cases..pics).

If you have full on suggestions for any goalies, simply click this link and fill out the simple form... I will review it for inclusion in the project.

I finally got some pics up... You can check them out in two ways... They are in the notes for each team (contained in the asterisk link) and also in a GALLERY in my OS Arena. Let me know what you think.

Note that all pics are brightened slightly.

Version 1.0

• Anaheim Ducks*
• Atlanta Thrashers*
• Boston Bruins*
• Buffalo Sabres*
• Calgary Flames*
  

Version 2.0
Version 3.0
Olympic Version

I was just wondering... Do you have a specific source where you find the proper equipment or do you just go around sports sites looking for pictures?

Special Olympic Version

The what?

[UwantRadie]

Posted the Ducks.

Notes...
Giguere was pretty spot on.. only needed a minor touch up with a stripe or two.

Spoiler

Hillers was tough... NHL was using his pads from late last year. The blocker came out better then I thought. even if it is the wrong company.. it looks closest to his real stuff...He uses KOHO, good to see them still around...His mask was a MESS. If EA had actually put in a BLACK helmet it would look a lot better (their "black" is really light grey..sigh)... The 2nd Team Helmet might work if you want, but I cant get over the orange facemask.

Spoiler

Thought I would have more time to work on this tonight, but I got preoccupied. I should have at least one other update before the night is over.. then tomorrow will be slow & nothing until late, but the rest of the week is devoted to cranking this out.

Some teams are pretty good about having decent galleries of each game.. Those are really helpful for the back ups... Where i can just check which game he played and look up the gallery.. Usually there is a pic or two in there that is helpful.

Other teams arent so good with the galleries. Then its off to Google. Most pictures have the date somewhere in the URL so it is usually pretty easy to determine the date of pics. The season is still young and most pics out there arent from this year yet, so it requires a touch of research, but not to much at all. Just confirming dates.

The 2010 Olympics are in Vancouver and the NHL players are playing.

When this comes around, I will do the roster equipment of the Olympic Teams goalies.

The Goalie Guild has a pad tracker they always keep updated. Scroll down the page a bit and you see a graphic and click it. Up comes a chart with pads, trappers, blockers, sticks and masks listed for all the NHL goalies.

You can also use getty images site. All the photos have a watermark, but if you're just using them to look at gear, it doesn't get in the way. Just type in the goalies name and his team (ie - Lundqvist Rangers), check sport in editorial images on your first search, and you will have countless images to browse. Hover the mouse over the picture or click right on it.
