A.YOUNGoalie13 Posted January 18 Author Share Posted January 18 4 hours ago, RichMan said: Coming back to this pic again...see how the split T is anchored dead centre at the break? Is it because it's a 60? If my split T on my GT2 was positioned the same, would it still work with it's 75 break or mess up the closure or balance? Its really strange because it looks like a stock vapor glove aside from the palm shape and pocket. The cuff and tee looks like Bauer’s 590 (60 degree) but its definitely something they build for Askarov specifically Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Half of the gloves were nearly impossible to do that with. And I'm decently strong these days. I know pros get the pre broken in glove option. How they can put gloves out at retail that feel about as flexible as a 5 gallon bucket baffles me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vaughn SLR's aren't good either. The rest seems to be mostly OK as far as my off the shelf experience go. It's more the antiquated designs that seems to have these issues more than anything.

Warrior and Brian's seem easy, but you can't tell how many clients messed with them over the weeks, months or even years if it's an old model. It's only natural to have a braking in period but there is a friggin limit after all. Seems like gloves 20 years ago were so much more supple. Remember the Bauer Supreme line?

Looks like the graphic was rubbed off by the wearer trying to clean puck marks away. The set has next to no marks for a graphic that faded Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said in some other thread, bauers performance is at the top of the league. From my understanding the reason more people don't use their equipment is a comfort thing and sometimes a build quality thing. I had no issues with the durability of my HL2 though I didn't put much use into them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chile57 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 (edited) Looks like he’s about to blow his top. I’ve always assumed it must be difficult/frustrating for guys that played at a very high level to move to coaching (Roy, Gretzky for a minute) in the sense that they probably have to slow down their own mind to coach others that probably aren’t at their speed. “No, no - like this… “ Edited January 23 by chile57 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTH Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Superstars sometimes just do things and see things on a whole other level. Why some of the guys who are hanging on are the best coaches as they lacked the gift and made up with hard work and discipline. Baseball catchers seem to be really good coaches in pro baseball too. Not sure if there's a best position for coaches to have played in their day. Goalie seems like a bad fit as a head coach as they ignore the Xs and Os of offense and defense. But you can have a good staff and use them for that. Head coaches have to manage their assistants too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a goalie, your view of the action is so different from in the meilly (?spelling) in front, we see the open lanes and the open man andthe weak sides and the overloads and the numbers, etc. If you understand the Xs and Os, a goalie can make an excellent coach. It's like the point guard in basketball. You see the whole game, whereas your center or power forward only sees one portion of the play. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
