Different. That is up to the refs to call. Interesting point though AD. Why is it that a coach can contend the legality of a player's stick or goalie's pads, yet can't call for a replay on a situation like you described? I heard today that at the GM meetings coming up they are going to discuss the possibility of more "standardized" goalie equipment. Something along the lines that it all must be within a measurement ratio based on the player's size. You cheat with equipment, you get burned. You cheat with moves on the ice, you only burn if you get caught.
