Richard Deitsch of Sports Illustrated gathered a group of "media voices" for a Q & A.
John Shannon of Sportsnet when asked this question...
What is a story in the NHL that is being under-covered and why is it being under-covered?
To me it’s the amount of influence the equipment manufacturers have in trying to streamline goaltenders’ equipment. For years, the manufacturers have changed the quality and size of equipment to the detriment goal scoring, and as far as skaters’ equipment, they have increased the price of equipment, not just in the NHL but throughout every level of the game. The league has tried in the last decade or so to monitor and take control of the process, to little success. The manufacturers have far too much power.
many questions and answers from the media types....
