I'm with you. I guess what I am focused on is that Kahn's hands are not that really big. It looks like he is using gloves/mits that are way longer than his actual fingers so he can deflect more balls away from goal. 2:22 into the second video shows how enormous they are. And 48 seconds into the first video, he wouldn't have saved that goal without the elongated gloves. Which brings me back to my belief that goalies are essentially manipulating equipment to gain an extra advantage. If goalies aren't really catching the ball, then why do they need gloves at all. Is it just in the guise of protecting their hands?
