Because with the new equipment rules there is a nice big 5-hole when you go down into the butterfly.
It is even worse for taller goalies (like Roberto Luongo) who could reach post to post. No longer do they have much coverage in the thighs due to the smaller pads, making their 5-hole even bigger than a smaller goalie using the same butterfly style.
