Though because of how thin my foot is I didn’t lose any attack angle vs the bauer cowls. We called again today and were quoted at 6 days for just the repair and shipping is an unknown factor. My buddy did confirm that Overdrive blades can fit onto the one piece true skates. Maybe once they have these out a bit longer I will get a pair. I like low skates and it seems everything out there is tall. Hope the posties get your skates to you quick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got my buddys hand me down factory mad that just wont quit looks the same as the day I got it. You got that bnq certification so no trouble from the refs I asked my buddy who coaches why the kid forwards have to wear them silly collars its cause its the rules. If you ask me those collars are superficial protection unlike what a goalie wears. That neck guard looks comfy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It feels far more comfortable than the paw although I do feel shots a bit more through it. Coming from the paw that doesn’t say much since that thing had actual several sheets of plastic all throughout. I haven’t trimmed mine at all as I haven’t needed it because I’m a giraffe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WillyGrips13 Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Honestly, the modern game of bar down shooting combined with low stance goalies and down specific movements, getting hit up high is common. Even tall goalies are so low on close in shots that if the shooter has any leverage, and is able to lift it, the goalie will get hit up high. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
