Think of it like medieval armor in a way. Its largely protective but any point where joints have to bend there are usually openings and what not where you can get hit. Elbow pads for example generally have some sort of forearm protection but there is usually some sort of gap between where the glove ends and the forearm protection begins. It depends though.

The shoulder pads I wear are thin as hell and it is basically an inch thick piece of foam so if a fast shot goes high and hits me in the gut its going to hurt really bad.

Also it's always okay to hate Corey Perry and curse his name.
