I was watching an NFL game last week and there was an interior D lineman who was 5'11', 330lbs. Sounds like the perfect NHL goalie body.

In general, the equipment and uniform are already limited. If you think pads are out of hand, then you need a rule change, not a change in behavior or equipment selection.
(BTW, the book that the WSJ article is from, Andy Roddick Beat Me With a Frying Pan, is a good, fun book about oddball sports questions.)

Ya no intelligent person would suggest an extremely obese, out of shape person could play 3 periods of professional hockey. It's already true that net minders try to increase their size with gear tricks to mimic the walrus effect without really being that fat.A bit on fat goalie's and gear (could be paywalled if you've used up your free views):

Vasilevskiy’s questionable equipment controversy finally explained!
Does it make sense now?
I intentionally ignored this thread after my last post, which was the biggest jinx that ever jinxed. Avs are being waaaaay overrated, still. I finally started believing last year, and poof, that was it. haha.
TNT crew just picked them to win it all.
It's them and the Islanders, so far. Ignore, ignore!
It ain't easy to win! Don't write off the Av's!! (and don't piss off the Hockey Gods..they WON'T win! get it?!?!)

Hey, we're on pace for an 82-0 season! I re-painted the float tonight...everyone loves a parade!^^^Stealing actual Maple Leaf lore.
Your float will need more than a coat of paint. It will need a complete refit with wings with battery powered propellers because by the time Leafs win the Cup we will be driving around in George Jetson flying cars AND floats that float.
