But I was wondering, in 20 years from now, how will future NHL goalies pay tribut to current NHL goalies? I mean, now, goalies use 3 different masks with different paint-jobs each season and nobody uses the same graphic on gear for more than a one season. So I guess future goalies will still be paying tribute to 80's and 90's goalies. The only goalie with a distinctive and unique mask that comes to mind is Rask. I think he used the same paintjob for his whole career. Speaking of 20 years later... holy Chakal siting. There will be no retro from 2022 stuff. The kids in 2042 will be wearing retro gear styles from the 90s still. Back when the goalies had iconic style. Gear that was identifiable by who wore them. Masks that guys wore for more than a month (some guys went years). The kids in 2024 will still be wearing retro Jordans too. Get off my lawn! Damn kids! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scythe Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 (edited) That Blues gear in earlier post looks too street hockey like and I had a pair of McLean goalie pants for awhile when I was about 4 waist sizes McLeaner. I remember there not being much to them. Padding in them was pretty sparse. A pair of CCM 1.9 pants blows those out of the water as far as padding goes.

I had a minor amount of buckling on my sidewall of my GT2 blocker, but these domestic made for pros is rife with them. It hasn't been much of a talking point lately, but this does add a bit of fuel to the fire for "Domestic vs Overseas" gear quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What we forget is that pro gear is rushed and these things can happen. The new owner of the pads will be happy to have NHL history, mismatched holes, lumps and all 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
