coopaloop1234 Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 31 minutes ago, Naz said: You have to ask? Seriously though, why do so many people have to have matching setups? Buy each piece that feels most comfortable and works best. I always found it refreshing to see Markstrom with everything Bauer, and then a Vaughn glove... Ryan Miller with his CCM blocker and Vaughn pads and glove... Schneider with CCM gloves and Vaughn pads.... I don't think I have ever had a complete matching set, and currently have 3 different manufacturers for Pads, Glove and Blocker. I get why. The aesthetics of it all matching is hell of a draw. My Warrior set is the full matching set I've had. I've been close with Vaughn (V4 legs, V5 blocker, LT90 glove). But I do get a chubby seeing how slick my set looks since it all matches. Though, Markstrom hasn't had a Vaughn glove for a few seasons now and Schneider will soon be all CCM (count on it). You don't see too many guys not matching anymore. 30 minutes ago, Big2 said: Naz - that's what I told my son to do, but he tried the 590 and we expect the 600 to be better in regards to this! Coop is right - my son said, what are you nuts not a matching set!! Seriously - trying to make any sense with a teenager is not obvious like taking a 2 year old to get a root canal! Lol, I was just making a joke. But hey, teenagers will be teenagers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't read the whole thread and just read this comment. I just stared at the pictures for 20 minutes trying to figure why didn't match. I thought this was a CCM #GloveGate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaveByRichter35 Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 @Big2 Why don't you just have your son join up so you don't have to post this all for him? I mean if you're reading everything together anyway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big2 Posted August 10, 2018 Author Share Posted August 10, 2018 SBR - my son only looks at the Forum when I have something to share with him. I spend a lot of time making sure that I am up to speed on the latest developments in regards to equipment and we discuss it if its worth while. Also being very knowledable allows to cut through the crap at stores and I use it to purge retailers that are not very honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
