That guy with the three-digit numbered jersey is setting me off for...having a jersey with three digits on it.

Noted that the 2024 PX3 customizer is live now.

It was like that on the PX3, maybe even on the 12.2 (but I don't remember).

Yo, that's my queue. I have a confirmed 4mm labral tear in my left hip (that I probably had fully form in like 2022, frankly). I originally got sent on a 6 week PT stint (by my orthopedic) and then got the okay to test it. Shit still hurt pretty bad oops. So then I finished the season, and have been on a 3 months PT, no playing (was still coaching but not demoing stuff for the kids) stint. I finally got to test it again this week (Tuesday) and it hurt pretty bad, but I had also just gotten a booster shot and I think that made everything hurt, because oddly enough zero pain the next day (including at PT). I'm testing again tomorrow in the early afternoon, so I'll report back (tomorrow!) with hopefully a better outing. I think I'm going to use my more set of steel. The longer summary is my PT has been entirely strength training. My routine is basically: warm-up on a bike for 8 minutes, get stretched out, single leg bridges, resistance band with fondas and sideways knee spreads, high resistance with side steps and backwards-diagonal steps, squats (I'm up to 175 lbs on the bar) at 3 sets of 6 with two lead up sets at lower weights, 3x10 deadlifts with a trap bar (170 lbs thus far), 2x15 2sec pause weighted (8 kg) split squats, 2x10 kick backs on a shuttle at I think 40 lbs, 3x15 single leg lying press at 120 lbs, weighted (12 kg) 3x10 1 foot step ups, 3x20sec side planks (adductor and abductor), 1x15 reverse deadlift with 16 kg, farmer carry (each hand has 22 kg) followed by single arm with same weight, 3x45sec resistance banded wall sit, and I might be forgetting something else. It's a pretty good workout and has yielded me a certified dumptruck for a posterior. It's been awhile, and sometimes it does feel kind of like it hurts. If your pain is like mine, it's a very specific and pointed burning feeling right in the socket. What sucks for me is that I have rather loose ligaments, so my hips (and shoulders) are totally fine dropping out of socket in certain positions. This is cool and all for being able to do the splits, but awful for the soft tissue. I sometimes go through days/efforts where I wish they'd just rip it up and repair it, even if that means I'll be out for 6 months, but I have to remain hopeful other times too.

Yeah, Sherwood had that with the 9980 and Cerberus lines. The Blockade's giant, and long, calf pillow was a definite issue.

That flat boot I have is on a GNETiKV, so it's not the flatest, but is still reasonably flat. Anyhow, it does help with letting your foot rotate a bit when going down, doesn't have anything to really get in the way during movement when down (compared to a pad that had a shallow boot, but still had it with the GNETiKIV and G3NETiK). I generally like it when playing, as long as the rest of the pad feels connected (since I like a connected pad feel). I do like it when there's a boot channel as well, if only for the connected feel it offers, but don't love when anything gets in the way. A potential downside to this is if your foot doesn't go right into the crook of the pad (whether because of sizing or strapping), it'll feel like there's a bit of a gap at the lower calf (my GNETiKVs do this, my other pads didn't). Edit to add opinion: I think the flat boot concept with an "open angle" boot break is pretty pointless. If there's not a strap low enough or tight enough to the calf, this can cause the pad to slough off the front of the toe and feel disconnected in a way that I (personally) find to feel terrible on the leg. Other experiences with rather flat boot pads I've worn have been positive as well: I liked how the PX3 boot felt a lot, especially because it has a semblance of a boot and leg channel so the pad still feels strongly connected (part of the leg, not on top of the leg), without it being deep enough to get in the way. The 3X I got to try felt very mobile, especially with the current feel of the newer "soft" Bauer pads being springy instead of what would traditionally be a "soft" feel. The flat boot paired with this made it a pad that was exceptionally easy to move around in. The Velocity 10 I tried on was already too big for me, the flat boot added to that bulk, so when it doesn't fit correctly it's perhaps less forgiving? Unsure. Other, maybe obvious statement, is that it makes the pad sit higher on your leg. This can make sizing kind of a pain for those that don't have easy access to trying stuff on (a boat I am in). I don't think this trend is really going away, I'm not sure what having a deep boot would offer to modern goaltenders that is more desirable than the mobility offered by the newer design. I'm definitely interested to see what happens next in leg pads.

I know we enjoy making fun of DaveArt mask designs, but I usually try to wait to see how they look on a broadcast before fully judging them. Some of them do work, though a lot do not. I do like this on, at least a basis, and think it might look nice in their home unis.

Those are gorgeous, super cool to see!

You also gotta share the spec sheet.

That is in no way a flop. He definitely stuck out his leg to trip (or at least block the path), but that is certainly not a flop. Not sure how you managed to read that as such, frankly.

Saros is no longer in a thick-mid thigh on his PX3s. I noticed Kochetkov didn't play in the EFlex6s when he got the start the other day too.

That's actually pretty cool. I like the feel on the ASV stick shape quite a lot.

Pretty sure that says "stiff" with regards to the core.
