I mean, what is it with some people? Way back when, I used to have people ask me "um, do you, you know, with the equipment on?"
Okay, folks--there's kink, and then there is just stupid. Now maybe someone out there is making "A hot night with Ed Belfour" kits, but the reality is pretty nasty. The gloves stink, and the pads aren't much better. Besides, the buckles on the pads would rip up anything they came in contact with. Explain *that* to the linen service. And even with the new synthetics, the pads are *heavy*. The gloves aren't made for precision, and the blocker would clock someone. Yeesh.
And the mask? More concussion-inducing than passion-inflaming on the non-wearer's side. And the old fibreglass masks? Someone *wants* a hot night with Jason? Eeeuuuwww.
