Goalies are a strange bunch, and superstitious by nature.
The white tape on the goalie stick is something I’ve never noticed, and it has me stumped. Most players use black tape so when they shoot, it makes it harder for the goalie to pick up the movement of the puck. I’m not sure what advantage white tape has on a goalie stick. Maybe it makes the 5 hole look like a larger target to shoot at?
