So are you actually saying that while you’re looking forward/toward blueline presumably, someone on YOUR team decided to shoot at you from the side/corner, when you weren’t facing them or making eye contact…? Precisely that situation. It’s as good as timing can be for something like this at least. My team got stomped by the top team in our division and my team will go play a meaningless florida tournament this weekend while I stay home and recover for the following weekend against a team we can and have beat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatCarGuy Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Always fun when the orthopedist says urgent care is full of shit Final verdict was definite bone bruising but no fracture. I’m cleared to play with wrist guards. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chile57 Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 (edited) @ThatCarGuy glad you dodged something more serious and can play on. Give them hell in the playoffs. Not me because I'm on the shelf for a couple months but last night the defenseman on my team broke his fibula and tore some ligaments on "a rare and nasty break" from a mostly harmless looking inadvertent ((?) hopefully) slew foot. Here's the video (#14 black in front of the net)... https://www.livebarn.com/en/videoshare?vid=_2BRP5Yob0sGcsllyho2CHu8o5LUVcey2oG0CoQkO3HQANSc2uJncahbD8Ejh7YAn5A7ccVwpLBf6wd0TSjeitqUhzMh0BmwAyS1dLQWEs05d9o_2FU3VKsZ9FgreurNiZY3cSuTSJUEemwXsbbagKPoHIV8NNilbojx&dt=2023-02-14T20:29&t=183293&d=30000&mode=5 It goes on longer and shows that the refs never blew the whistle despite it going all the way down to the other end and back while he's clearly laboring to get to the bench. WTF man. Edited February 15 by chile57 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if I'm mathing right - the tourney and playoff openers have come and gone @ThatCarGuy. If so - did you get a chance to suit up and how'd you do? Let us know.

I didn’t play all that terrifically but it was still good enough to keep myself first in the league with a .947 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chile57 Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 @ThatCarGuy - so I had it a little jumbled. That was kind of like a play in game and NOW you're in. Good luck. Hope the wrist is holding up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope the wrist is holding up. Thanks I’m gonna need it with this team lol I was able to snag an old aegis wrist brace sample from work and that seems to have done the trick and should prevent further injuries as well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coopaloop1234 Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 (edited) Current bruising from the professor strap buckles. Definitely getting the Vapour one because this isn't ideal. And I don't bruise easily either. Edited March 5 by coopaloop1234 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same on the other leg too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's definitely coming from my use of the RVH. That's the only time those buckles ever come into contact with my thighs and since these pads don't bend anywhere, there's an increase of pressure for me to hit the same spots that I did before. I'm sure my preference for going skate on post exasperates this issue too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johncho Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 (edited) I thought it was just me, honestly thought I had it on wrong as it dug into my leg past a certain point. Good to know that they also have a non buckle version. I just placed an order for those. Edited March 8 by johncho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to know that they also have a non buckle version. I just placed an order for those. I double checked to make sure I hadn't installed them incorrectly too. But having the buckle on the inside makes even less sense. Haven't had a chance to play in the Vapour tune fit system yet, but the range of customization is far better than the Supreme version and it feels way more comfortable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTH Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 Took a puck off the inside of my knee. Bruise is still forming. Hurts like hell. Got hit while working in my front yard. My kid was shooting pucks in the street and one whistled up into the yard and kicked off the lawn directly into my knee. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I played a game with mine as well and I'm liking them over the Supreme version. I have them set at probably the loosest setting and it's been good so far. Pad sits a little lower on my leg which is nice, it doesn't ride up as much without the strap, and there's still a feeling of being connected to the pad without a very tight feel. So far so good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know had that happened when I was a kid I'd probably STILL be running from my pops rather than risk the forthcoming vemon/punishment.

So they apologize and asked if I wanted them to stop shooting. No way. Keep ripping! There are a few dozen pucks buried in the mulch around the house in the shrubs and all. Years from now when a new owner lives in my house, they'll ponder why there are so many ice hockey pucks in the landscaping. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
