Anyone play? Anyone got something good? BroGators

This was a new one to me, good find https://www.resilientgoalie.com/shop?page=2

Fascinating topic, love the pics, keep us posted
-
I don't think anyone is wrong for wanting that? Design is heavily biased on what I like and I what I think the 80% of goalies need. Just sharing the background a questions pop up. If lots of people ask for the same thing, it could be included in a future iteration.
-
Yes, I have seen them on the market. I personally hate excess things on the base layers. Trying to find balance between hit there more than 1 time every 3 years and closing gaps in equipment.

D3O is super strict about how their product is sold. With that said, email their customer support, mention I suggested you email them, and maybe they can send you extra piece? It's a small family owned business, so maybe they can help out?
-
Agree on the Tuuk, but unfortunately, optics will be that it's a gimmick if pros don't switch? New pros adapt way more to new technology than the previous generation of pros. I am with you that the Tuuks might be a wild change and "better" might be too "different", but the helmet makes no sense? I feel like your average pro adapts to the never helmet cycles?
-
I think Matthews has actually switched though... too lazy to look deeper I see like no pros in the new Bauer PowerFly tuuk holder or Hyperlite 2 helmet. Both of those topics interest me for player gear.
-
I feel like more people in the show use Tuuks than CCM holders on CCM boots? I feel like only the CCM athletes use the CCM holder, haha... in that spirit, it's noteworthy that Mackinnon is
-
They could exceed it, but the question is... what did they do? There is a balance between weight, breathability, comfort, and protection. It's impossible to get a 10/10 in all considerations. So if they go for 10s in breathability and comfort, I would expect the protection to be less than it could / should be. That's exactly what I think happened on the player helmets. TBH, not sure that many skaters care if they are using a widowmaker these days...

exactly
-
Yes, I saw that shell at first too. That helmet looked like a goofy Itech though too, haha but this angle dilla vibes?
-
I am curious... My day job is in industrial 3D printing. I could be considered a subject matter expert on this subject. industrial 3D printing (not the FDM desktop printer at the local library) applied correctly will produce a better product. CCM's player helmet was designed to be breathable and comfortable, but it got a 1 star on VT ratings. I am hoping the goalie team put safety first on their needs list with this iteration.
-
Anyone see Armadilla in this mask?
-
yes, it's compression, but I would call it a medium compression? It hugs the body, but it's not crazy tight some of the UA products I have worn in the past that are basically a second skin. It's also not baggy or loose fitting.
-
It's not a secret and we appreciate you sharing your work... Please put a note in your profile that you work for Savior masks? Would help add some clarity to the posts about who is doing the work and maybe help give you some new inquiries

Transition from Old Graf to modern Bauer
TheGoalNet replied to bgorb's topic in Skates + Holders + Steel
Profiling is a blind spot for me, would love to hear an experts opinion My gut says that just repetitions will get you over the hurdle? If you have the opportunity to go a pick up game or stick and puck, I think that would help a ton? You can mess around without worrying about the scoreboard behind you -
Steel is a big blind spot for me. As stated above, should have gotten into this earlier. When you say harder? What's the benefit, it'll hold an edge longer?
-
for anyone ordering, please share pics, questions, thoughts, etc when your product arrives.

everyone plays different and don't mean to sound critical, always sensitive with these situation... but I have never been hit there and that's why I have always been surprised with padding there? So if you had a use case, like an RVH technique or something, very interested to learn
-
Independent consultant and field tester, not an employee. Same answer as the sock velcro. We had a budget and a deadline. Unfortunately, you can't include everything. Sock Velcro was a known a pending "concern" among potential buyers, this one I am more surprised about. We did talk about this feature, but didn't want to add too much bulk for a niche feature too. How often are you getting hit where the shot goes through the pants and hits the base layer?
-
I got the Bauer Pulse Ti. I paid for them, not sent as a demo. Literally blown away how much less I have to sharpen them compared with Bauer black steel. One of those changes I wish I did sooner.
-
As stated above, completely understand There's some deadlines to hit, price points to consider, etc. Our assumption was that 50/50 of goalies who wear socks. So for iteration 1, we wanted to stick our timeline and budget and so we cut the sock tab from the product.

Is Smith still involved? Warrior has stick deals in the NHL. It's one of the reasons so many Vaughn, True, Brian's goalies use their sticks. I would expect a Warrior stick user to make sense as Warrior already has an in with the client and the agent? Something like Mrazek or Delia previously mentioned makes sense? Murray on LTIR and a Bauer stick guy does not make sense? Raanta is in a gear changing mode, a Warrior stick guy, and maybe could be a target?
