Fun fact- we beat the Islanders 4-1 in the Wales Conference finals in 93 on our way to our last cup! Of course we just won the Campbell trophy last night, so who knows… I think Tampa will be a better match up as we've seen how well the Habs play against offense loaded teams that like to run and gun. Islander play such a similar game that who knows how each team will react. Having said that, I'm still pulling for NYI. I've been pulling for this Final match up all playoffs long. Plus SBR will be mildly upset and that is lol worthy. 4 minutes ago, seagoal said: Happy heat wave Coop @coopaloop1234 What, no Kraken t-shirt? And can't wait.

I just happen to be wearing this shirt today. Super fun time up there with the Red Wings in town. My buddy is from Michigan and got 2 tickets for his birthday and he invited me. Good times. I do love Vancouver. So beautiful and fun, plus I am a sushi fanatic so there's that. I have....only 2 Kraken shirts My dogs are currently quite unhappy with this weather.

seagoal Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 Well I am an official member of the Kraken Hockey League. They just recently completed our registration/website transition from our old league to the new league that will start in September. Pretty neat getting the registration completed and seeing how the website came together. Pretty exciting stuff. Also, I have a new, white Sportmask en route to me this week to give to my teammate who is a graphic designer, commercial graphics, airbrush artist. I'm pretty excited to see what he comes up with for a new paintjob to match our team. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seagoal Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 P.S. @coopaloop1234 have you put your hands in Hyperlite mitts yet? They feel so silky smooth, kinda like fancy underwear. Whatever material that is, it feels unlike any other gloves I've tried. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had no reason to head down to the hockey shop during covid. Maybe I should make an excuse to head down. I haven't touched Axis, Ultrasonic, Hyperlite, or G5. I'm way behind.

It's really too bad I'm so in love with the lack of a wrist strap on Warrior gloves. Since switching over I can't stand having one. I'm sure I could deal, but my preference lays heavily towards using a Warrior catcher. Blocker I could switch up easily enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seagoal Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Man, I saw this nasty, wicked, really heavy slap shot from the center red line last night in my game. It was going well wide to my right but it was bending and warbling back to center and potentially on goal, so I had to take it. It was chest height and it was moving so fast and curving like a frisbee I couldn't get set right to safely play it with my blocker or square in the chest, so I had to turn towards the boards a bit and I brought my hands up to cradle it...it tagged me right on the blocker finger tips and it stung like a bitch. I have 3 sore fingertips today. I have never seen a puck fly like that before with such a wicked bend like a soccer ball or frisbee, kinda like this pattern ).

Sometimes pucks just turn into hockey balls out of nowhere. There was one time a guy teed up a slap shot from the boards at the blue line. Wasn't a super hard shot and I had zero traffic or outside pressure. Puck rose up in a pretty predictable fashion and when it got to 3' above the ice, fucking nose dived down to almost ice level. It decided to dive down about 2' out from where I was. So here I am standing straight up, ready to save a pretty easy shot, next thing you know the puck is in the net and I'm left there looking absolutely awful. That still gives me nightmares.

Can confirm the ball is 100% harder to stop than a puck due to its chaotic flight path. They also hated that they had to wear Franklin pads and those V-form skates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slap shot from the point. No one screening me. Shot is labeled right for my pocket reaching across my body to my blocker side. All of a sudden it just dropped out of the air and I completely missed it lol. He almost got me again later on in the game.
