This is just sad.

We had more people than this show up for our high school playoffs.

That is from a Pre-Season game held on a Monday at 3:00pm... there were less than 700 people there

Hmm...the blocker he used last night looked like it had been run over several times by a truck....it was almost solid black. 

Funny you should mention that, because I remarked on the blocker to my wife:

"See all those puck marks on Price's blocker? They're almost all right in the middle! I sure don't have centered, concentrated density of puck marks like that on MY blocker!"

The games I play in, if there's even a single fan there, it freaks everybody out:

"Wait... is that a person there...? Are they here willingly? Maybe they're just lost. Or drunk. Or staff. Maybe someone should call the police..."

I'm sure you don't have any marks on your blocker.

Actually, some jerk hit it in warm up today. Guess he isn't aware of The Code, or of my "resale-value focused" style of goaltending.

Funny you should notice that too.

That detail caused me to take a little closer look at my blocker and wouldn't you know it, most of the puck marks are around the center.

And yes, I did take the stick wax in the background as I was leaving. No, it wasn't mine.

New playoff setup for Vasilevskiy

After tonight...burn them. How do you lose to a shit franchise like the Blow Jackets like that?? Embarrassing. I'm gonna be so tight when Tampa loses this series.

I remember in 2007 when Price busted out his own graphic for the post-season. Didn't end well for him and the Habs either.

Found it interesting, that Bishop warms up in a CCM 590 Glove but plays in a Bauer 2S

Could be that the CCM has a better practise palm?

Rhetoric aside, Caps lost the first two games to Columbus last year.

Columbus made that into a series, however.

I mean, I wouldn't be surprised if Columbus makes it a really tough series. But I also wouldn't be surprised if Game 1 turns out to be a blessing in disguise for the Lightning.

Everyone's been mapping out the parade route for Tampa Bay all year, and as grounded and humble as the team may be, I'm sure they can't help but be confident. Probably too confident. It's possible that last night is the cold bucket of water they need to bear down and get serious about making a championship run. Virtually every Stanley Cup team, no matter how dominant, has some moment where they face adversity and have to find a way to overcome it. Better to learn a hard lesson in Game 1 of the Quarterfinals than in the Conference Finals.

I bet that CCM glove is made of concrete.  It would be interesting to see if he closes it in warm-ups.

Those pictures look like they were grabbed from a video, care to share the link if there is one?

[MTH]

Obviously since CCM gear is so heavy, he warms up with that before the game.

Like baseball players swinging a heavy bat while on deck.

In the gym, he bench presses P2 pads, the heaviest weights in the room!

That reminds me, I got to mess around with a pair of SLR2's the other day (no ice time sadly) and those things are probably heavier than my LT88 pads!

Vaughn once again bucking trends and going against the mainstream.

I kid, I kid. I actually really like the look of the SLR2 and PVE2, without having tried them out or even seen them in person yet.

Fanboydom aside, that seems difficult to believe.  Scale...or it never happened

Ullmark does the same. Usually uses a CCM in practice and a Bauer in games

Interesting. Again- I wonder if CCM makes a crazy stiff practise palm they like better? Or is it something else? I am too much of a 5500 closure type to try a Bauer glove.
