Dana,
if the flaps are what I'm thinking they are, it's got nothing to do with his knee pads; it's just a standard flap on a set of RBK P2's. Just a little bit of an extra protective flap on the outside of the pads. I don't think that they stick out at all on the "traditional" RBK strapping system, as the buckles go over them. But when the straps are adjusted downwards, your thighs push them outwards when you drop into a butterfly.
They do seem to stick out moreso on Luongo's P2's than on anyone else's. But, I can't imagine that they would really do anything to stop a puck, though. Seems a bit of a silly thing to make a gripe about, though. Competition committee or not.
