I appreciate your response!
New and used, and I've taken the time to break in my gloves (and friends have helped open and close new gloves, and sit on them, tied them, put balls in them, thrown pucks, etc.). It also doesn't matter if the glove is new to me or months old. I haven't had one last a year yet without being either given up on because it doesn't work, or just straight up broken by a shot.
I've tried gloves under. I used to use a golf glove to help fill up space so the intermediate didn't fall off. A little bit more size, and the traction of a non sweaty hand helped.
A catcher's under glove doesn't have padding where I need it. The palm would be good, but most of my bruises are at the ring finger above and below the ring. https://smile.amazon.com/Adult-Catchers-Fielders-Padded-Inner-Glove/dp/B00IDOGIO2/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1520485553&amp;sr=8-2&amp;keywords=catcher+baseball+padding&amp;dpID=51gazR8oKuL&amp;preST=_SY300_QL70_&amp;dpSrc=srch You can see where the padding is there. https://smile.amazon.com/Markwort-Stash-Black-Fielder-Protective/dp/B000VZ89TS/ref=sr_1_22?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1520485568&amp;sr=8-22&amp;keywords=catcher+baseball+padding That one wouldn't help where I'm getting bruised at all. Or they're up on the fingers.
I can't find a link for another thing I've tried, which is a little bit of extra padding that you can slide down over your fingers that sits at the top of the palm. It was so bulky it made it so I couldn't get the glove to sit properly on my hand.
I don't use the individual finger slots. My hands are too small to reach them, I guess. My junior has a thumb and pinky slot, and I ignore the pinky one. Off the top of my head, not sure about the thumb, but it doesn't matter. If my intermediate had them, I don't know of them. My fingers always touch one another in there. Too spread out and I have less leverage to close the glove. I can't get my hand in much further, unfortunately. I like the idea of getting rid of the finger guides, but my thumb is over on the other side and that limits it. :)
My left hand, from bottom of my palm (where it would touch if I'm doing a push up, for instance) to the tip of my middle finger, my left hand is nearly 6 1/8", and my right hand is 6". My fingers are between 2" and 2 1/2" long.
I didn't consider them THAT small, but apparently they are. Looking at it, yeah, no surprise I can close a youth easily. It's the only one where I'm at the large end of the spectrum.
They changed their materials since I bought my kit, but as long as your head doesn't touch the shell you can't really fuck it up. Two products will help a ton in installation:
Goof off to remove the old glues and goop inside the mask. I highly recommend using this to prep the surface, but make sure you use it in a well-ventilated area as it's VERY strong. Wear gloves if possible.
Contact Cement to affix the padding to your mask.
Here is their new installation guide. It turns out the contact cement isn't necessary as they include glue with their padding now. I still recommend getting it as it's super cheap and useful. You can also use contact cement to attach the Velcro loops for a sweatband if you use one.
I'd be wary of trying to explicitly define one's style as stand-up (or conversely, butterfly) -- let your style develop organically as you learn, and focus on your skating ability above all else.
Save selection is really best approached from a "best tool in the toolbox" approach - some will be standing, some will be down. Don't throw out any save selection because it doesn't fit the "style" you want to play. As you learn execution of different saves, the way you read the play will determine whether you should stand or drop, and how you should do either one -- that sense comes with time and experience.
In terms of a single source of fundamentals, Steve McKichan / Future Pro's Essential Goaltending PDF is a good read, available from www.futurepro.com.
I'll also recommend Brian Daccord's Hockey Goaltending as another fundamentals-oriented text: http://www.amazon.com/Hockey-Goaltending-Brian-Daccord/dp/0736074279
Congrats! Had a very similar experience in the playoffs this summer, just a surreal feeling. I started late too (played ball hockey in net since I was a kid but only could afford the ice equip in senior year of University) and it definitely gets better. If you're looking for info on improving your game after starting a little later, I picked up this and it was pretty helpful:

Keep it up!
The basic premise of ketogenic diets. You said your body breaks down fats for energy and you are correct. On a low-carb diet your body is not using carbs to generate energy, it is using fats. Typically I am eating around 30 carbs per day. I maintain a rough ratio of 65% of my calories from fats, 35% from protein and 5% from carbs. On a typical game day, I will eat about 100-120g of fat. If I've been good about my food intake, I can play and feel boundless energy and rarely feel fatigued after.
Here is a great book about it.
EDIT: Some of the basic sciency stuff, and I'm quoting from memory, so I could be off, but your body can only hold about 2,000 Kcals of energy derived from glycogen (carb-based) in reserves. However, your body can store 40,000 kcals from fats. You won't use fat for energy unless you bottom out the carbs since glycogen is easier for the body to burn. It can usually take 1-2 weeks for your body to transition over to ketosis (not to be confused with ketoacidosis). Ketogenic diets are great for endurance (such as marathon running, cycling, etc). Some people say they don't lift well on it, but it never bothered me.
The book The Power Within goes over this well.
I just finished reading Backstrom's interview and he talks about letting go of goals by having a routine after a goal is scored where he gives himself a few seconds to reflect on what he could have done differently then he moves on to focus on the next shot.
He also talks about gaining confidence from good preparation. He feels if he has put the work in before hand he has done everything he can to succeed and feels less pressure.
Elliot also talks about having the same routine after a goal against and a goal for. Helps him stay level headed and focus on the most important shot; the next one.
Do you mean that your knee isn't lining up with the knee cradle is missing the knee landing pad when you go down to your butterfly?
What I would do is buy a sewing awl. They're relatively cheap (~$15-20), and even though I haven't used one before, if you watch a youtube video, it looks relatively easy to use. I've been thinking of buying one and I found one on Amazon that comes with good wax thread that will hold: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000HGIJQ4/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1&amp;smid=A2UDNPGKURPVSY
I would undue the threading holding the landing pad (the outside leather one) and then re-sew it an inch or two down. Usually the inner knee pads are held on by string, so you could try loosening the string to move those down an inch or two as well.
You may also consider moving the calf pad (depending on what brand/model leg pads you have) since moving the knee landing pad down may hinder the pads ability to bend at the knee due to the knee and calf pads being too close together.
Apartment living here. When I was in college my apartment had its own bathroom connected to each room. My stuff was stored in the bathroom. Currently have a 2 bedroom and I use the spare room to put the legs on the ground, hang the chest and pants, put a fan near the glove, blocker, skates, mask, and bag on the ground opened. I'm looking into this dryer. Anyone else use this? If so can you fit everything and is it worth it?
As other mentioned, I wear knee pads under my leg pads. But mine are neoprene wrestling pads. The kneeling pad part is nice for landing on. The neoprene sleeve is comfortable.
Dude a feel your pain, or a least I felt it. Besides what the other guys are saying I would also suggest a sport drink like cytomax (http://www.amazon.com/CytoSport-Cytomax-Sport-Energy-Citrus/dp/B000G72384) which will help with the lactic acid build up and give you a mild boost. I mix up a batch and take it on the ice, you'll want to get a bottle with a straw so you don't spray this crap all over you, but it makes a huge difference.
I got this unit to store gear in my basement.
I have an adjacent workbench that I set a box fan on top of and aim it at the rack to dry the gear. Nothing touches the floor, and I can store a full set of gear including leg pads, plus room for another set of gloves and a spare helmet.
I use this stuff, works great. No residue. http://www.amazon.com/Unique-Tourna-Original-Feel-Tennis/dp/B000LEBRDY/ref=sr_1_9?s=racquet-sports&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1416941511&amp;sr=1-9
Hm. Well, I do need something covering my knees. I didn't like the bulkiness of knee pads, because they were heavy and fell, then I went to thse:
https://www.amazon.com/McDavid-Hexpad-Elbow-Black-X-Large/dp/B000UVUCF2/ref=sr_1_15?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1501500144&amp;sr=8-15&amp;keywords=knee+guard
but after one game they were stretched out and didn't work.
Perhaps consider picking up some reading material - I'd suggest this book which is in my home, that both myself and my boy have read... Solid read. Goaltending is the toughest position in sports...

I didnt go with a gopro, I don't believe it will hold up to taking a shot, but i bought a Polaroid XS-100 with a Suction cup mount in order to not spend all of the money on a gopro. Here is how the video looks at 720p @60fps

It IS fairly flimsy, so do not get too excited. I am figuring a year of use before it needs to have its fabric shelves modified.
I agree. I also believe there is about $8 in costs when it appears to be 3d printed. $25-30 max. They priced it very high especially when I find it to be flawed. It sits on the pad of the goal pole so its going to flop and move around when the net moves. Its not solid so its just dangling. It needs some type of clamping system. What I do and am successful at is using this tripod and just collapsing the legs down. You tie the velcro strap around the pad and back around. Holds tight. Not perfect but you also have a tripod out of it. https://www.amazon.com/Pedco-UltraPod-Lightweight-Camera-Tripod/dp/B000ANCPNM
Honestly, a fingernail brush in the shower completely solves that problem. Usually your hands smell fucking terrible and feel gross for 2-3 showers, but with a brush, completely gone.
6 Pack for $6 - keep one at home, couple in your bag, etc...
Do it! I picked up a Polaroid XS100 and a suction cup mount and it's helped me a TON. You pick up so many little things and bad habits on video that you don't necessarily have time to think about on the ice.
