Like where a film is held in suspension etc. Not sure, if you're really interested I can ask. I think it involved removing the holder from the boot (and obviously taking out the steel), heating the holder and applying the dye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that’s what folks use on lax heads and skate holders. Lots of YouTube vids out there I believe. While it’s a potentially messy process I think it’s pretty easy.

SaveByRichter35 Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 RIT dye is what you want. I've seen it used on cowlings on the GSBB and I have personally used it on some car parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can tell you it changed a bright orange piece of plastic to black with no traces of orange left behind. edit - Ok I searched so I can at least give you an idea. Check the orange dipstick handle in the first picture. Then the black one in the second. These aren't my pictures but the orange is what I started with and the black is what I ended up with. Looked exactly the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think buckles are inherently superior to elastic straps or anything. I just prefer them for own aesthetic and sense of security, etc. I still maintain that purposefully designing a pad to pop off your leg would be insane. It would be incredibly dangerous; you just could not guarantee that the pad wouldn't pop right off as someone at the top of the circle winds up to crank one right at your shin, or when a guy on a breakaway gets pulled down and slides into your legs skates-first. There are just way too many pucks, sticks, and skates flying around from the knee down for me to ever feel comfortable with the idea that my leg pad might pop off if I apply pressure on a strap the wrong way. At the very least, it would result in a series of embarrassing goals that would leave a one-padded goalie fishing the puck out his net, feeling like a fool. I do hear what guys are saying about knee injuries from their pads getting stuck, and I think having elastic straps that could pop off easily might be a good idea there. But I'd be damn sure that there was at least one buckled strap that's going to keep my pad attached to my leg, and facing (somewhat) forward. To me, designing a pad that pops off your leg to spare you from a potential knee injury makes about as much sense as designing a car that ejects you from the automobile because you're about to crash, and you may get whiplash from your seatbelt. You won't get whiplash from your seatbelt, but you'll be lying unprotected on the highway with a bunch of cars going 80mph. Or something. It was a good analogy when I started writing it, shut up. I don’t think the pads were purposely designed to “pop off”, but I think if it only happens in the most extreme situations... like the knee injuries above, it would probably better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And my entire point was that you could never ensure that it only happens in extreme situations where a knee injury it at risk. There's no way to ensure it wouldn't happen during an extremely dangerous situation. I think the risks far outweigh the benefits. Anyway, I'm done with this topic.

I'd never heard 'pimping' used as slang for using/rocking/sporting before, and I thought it sounded funny (not to be confused with making fun of). That's cool that your son plays goal... given the chance, you should convert him to a black-tape bandit... there are so few of us out there. I think it only looks good with black or colored stick, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erik19 Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 Took in the Canucks team equipment sale today. A few sets of Markstrom's, Nilsson's, and Garteig's sets were there. I resisted the siren song of picking up on of Nilsson's relatively new looking sets. Leg pads were going for $990. Ended up buying a 60G adidas goalie cut practice jersey as Adidas doesnt seem to making them available for the retail public. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erik19 Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 they were listed at 275 but when I got to the register it was 150. There was a couple more 60G and 58Gs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichMan Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 I can't help but wonder if they really need to charge so much for the used gear. I mean, they're (NHL teams) like the millionaires club. Are they that bad off for money? If the cash was donated to charities, fine, but seriously. I can't be the only one thinking this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moose75 Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 Is it really that hard to get a matching set together? Or does Schneider just not care? I've gotta say, as good as Schneider can be, every time I've watched him this season I don't see any changes updates in his game. Same thing with guys like Holtby and Price. Could be factors as to why they have all had off-years. Injuries, past heavy workloads, and incompetent management aside. Quick is the only goalie that plays exactly the same since I first watched him, yet has not suffered for it (yet). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
