Goalies need gear that works for them, whether they are being paid or not. But if he ever did switch, hypothetically, whichever company making his gear would go above and beyond making the exact gear he wanted to 'play' like an EFlex pad (or whatever he wanted at that given time) in a sense and I believe he could be happy in any brand he wore given the right pad build, and he's an NHL goalie who could ask for whatever he wants. His old Vaughn pads were heavily modified from the inside out. They were essentially wanna be Eflex's before the EFlex line existed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moose75 Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 (edited) Ah, Kipper spec. Never had another glove quite like it. Depending on how you positioned your hand when tracking a shot it could be black hole for pucks, or it could be a second blocker. If I ordered this again today, I'd probably mod the back hand cuff to be a bit wider and more flexible. Maybe a double tee too. I feel like the XR V7 glove is like a fusion of parts of this glove and a CCM 600 break. Edited August 26, 2018 by Moose75 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ULTIMA Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Basically cancelled my Vaughn order. They are so slow and so disorganized. This simplest things and requests get left unnoticed and forgotten. Yes, it is a busy time of year but I cannot and will not chase a manufacturer to want to give them my money. Unlikely I'll spend any money with them any time soon, it's clear they don't want it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seagoal Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 If any Vaughn fans want to see some glove porn, here's the Vaughn glove guy's Instagram. His Instagram is of the reasons the new VE8 graphic worked its way into my favor https://www.instagram.com/jdc_gloves/?hl=en Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seagoal Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 (edited) Speaking of gloves, my new mitts showed up today as a complete surprise, about a month early. Pads shouldn't be far behind. VE8 Pro Carbon blocker and a V6 2200 glove They are perfectly in line with how I ordered them and I am super pleased.

seagoal Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Man, I know the saying that "a blocker is just a blocker" but there is nothing better than the way a brand new blocker feels with how snug and cushy it is. This VE8 blocker is like putting your hand in a snug cloud and it is so lightweight compared to my V6 blocker. So impressive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d be having fucking KITTENS and would be bugging the shit out of EVERY single person at Vaughn so-called Custom Sports and calling out Mike Vaughn on social media. From what I know of that man, calling him a cunt would be a compliment! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
