I'll start by saying...... @Lucky Pucker you. are. back. Thank the heavens. I have been proactively not DMing you for over a week, wondering where you are and how you're doing Welcome back old friend.

Lucky Pucker Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 Hey, thanks @seagoal - yeah, been busy/bogged down with stuff all but completely unrelated to goalie. Faking the adult thing was hard enough before the pandemic… now kids are home schooling though to the end (June 20-something), so there’s that too. That said, I did get an email from our player manager, and it looks like my men’s over 35 league will be back this fall! That email was a HUGE lift! Anyway, I’ll try not to be so delinquent with posts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are starting up 2 Sundays from now and I can't wait. I'm so excited. It'll be so nice to have something to new and fun to focus on and be excited about.

We're allowed to play in 12 days. I've got my new 2S C/A to break in to. I'm trying to decide if breaking it in right away is the best move or to wait until I get something resembling a cardio before I try and break in new gear.

I'm trying to decide if breaking it in right away is the best move or to wait until I get something resembling a cardio before I try and break in new gear. Exactly. I wanted to welcome LuckyPucker back and was trying to figure out where to do it without derailing a thread. So I thought we could use this. It's like the locker room after a hockey game: hockey is done and now we talk about beer and cars and kids and dogs and cats and dinner and movies and other random crap in life. Have you ever broken in a C/A by hanging near your hot shower and getting it warm and wet? I did that a few times and it worked great but my new V9 one honestly didn't need it. I used it the day after opening the box and it was like butter. I have had a hard time with new ones in the past. I did downsize by one this time, too. Trying to simulate a tuck without tucking.

Those things looked so scrawny but I bet they were heavy. For heavy sweaters like myself, we don't think anything about wetting gear with just water. It's way less abrasive and corrosive than sweat and if it's hot it helps with break-in, for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wearing this unit around the house reminds me why Vaughn and Warrior products are always so popular. This thing feels stiff. I wore my GT C/A the same day I got it without really any issues aside from minor tweaks. I can already tell that this will take some more time before it gets close to that "second skin" feel.

Lucky Pucker Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 In what I hope is the spirit of this thread, here’s a random question or two: is Friday automatically pizza night for anyone else? And what do you have on your pizza…? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And what do you have on your pizza…? Totally the spirit: mundane chat. For us pizza night is Saturday. We have a great place in our neighborhood with an awesome outdoor patio and good beer. Fridays tend to be when we go out to a "nice" restaurant which usually means steaks or pork chops for me. My ideal pizza is pepperoni, mushrooms, and black olives and I must have ranch for dipping.

Dipping is for the crust. Though, I generally just give my crust to my Fiancee. She's one of these weirdos that prefers the crust over the actual pie portion.

That's pretty naive of you my friend. Edit: for that matter, pretty sure all of our SO's are nuts for liking a goalie.

seagoal Posted June 4, 2021 Author Share Posted June 4, 2021 Ha, I don't eat pizza crust so no dipping it for me. As a type-1 diabetic, pizza (and beer, always with beer) in general is rough on my blood sugar and the crust, for me, is just more carbs that don't taste that good. So I always avoid the crust. I'm weird, I know. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seagoal Posted June 4, 2021 Author Share Posted June 4, 2021 (edited) Dang. Spoke to my Vaughn rep yesterday. Mitts are done. Pads are built and in final assembly, the "finishing" table. But....the "finishers" are off today and Monday so my order will now ship Tuesday after completion and QC checks. New season starts Sunday June 13. I'm so nervous. -Michigan to Seattle... UPS calculations....aaaaaaah. -So wait, is the "finisher" 1 guy? Is the whole department off on like a group vacation? Training in Ontario? Ahhhhh... -Can't my rep do the "finishing" for a lifelong Vaughn user on his....V1, V4, V6, V(E)8, V9-----> 5th custom set?? Jeez. -Can't I at least get an Instagram post of my mitts? In all seriousness, Tuesday will be exactly 9 weeks. Not too bad. I waited 16-17 weeks for my VE8 set.

seagoal Posted June 4, 2021 Author Share Posted June 4, 2021 (edited) @SaveByRichter35 Hey, FYI I have 2 26" V1 Pro+ twigs I'm willing to part with for a reasonable $ offer. They're in fantastic shape, I just settled on 25"ers. I didn't want to post in the freebie thread, but lemme know if you're interested.
