Matiss Kivlenieks sporting EF4s with awesome color blocking in his NHL debut and (gut wrenching) win vs the Rangers a few nights ago. PS - The kid looked stellar in his debut. Robbed Panarin on a point blank one timer that would have beat most starters. These Latvians tendies are legit!

*Disclaimer: I am not in any way, shape or form an equipment guru. I have, however, been repairing my equipment since I started playing in goal as a kid for reasons of curiosity and economy. I've taken apart and reconstructed more pads, blockers, gloves, C/As, etc. than I care to remember. As a result, I have made a handful of observations that I believe are pertinent to this discussion* Before I go on to why I believe this is happening, I also suggest putting a puck or a stick or something in the base of the palm and wrap tightly. Some gentle heat will move things along quicker, but you

I've said it before in another thread and will say it again here. There is no literally zero reason for any goalie to be on his knees with the puck behind the net. The only reason why this move has gained so much traction recently is because players are adapting to goalies cheating into the RVH too early.

Hey seagoal. Love your discussion and your arguments. Check out this cheap goal that broke a 0-0 tie and won the other team a week long tournament. Really sad for you son who had played great all week and in this game. We live in Calgary Canada. I want to petition Hockey Canada, Hockey Alberta and Hockey Calgary to eliminate this move at the minor hockey league level. NHL will do whatever they choose, but those are grown men...usually over 6 foot 4! I think that this is an impossible stop for a young goalie, and that just seems unfair. I would love it if you could help me out with

Just use the waxed thread that comes with the awl, or if your picky about color order matching waxed thread from Amazon.

@coopaloop1234 mind if I add? it’s the exact same picture just brightened a little

Thanks for posting this. My my 960xpm foam is all falling out and I was thinking of going with an alternative foam soon. I don’t know what that different colour foam is Bauer uses on the backplate but that crap never dries out for me. I’ll keep a fan blowing on the inside of my mask for 2 days and it’s still damp.

@MangoRhinehart Wow! That Lord of the Rings mask looks awesome. The Shining mask looks cool as well but the Lord of the Rings just looks amazing. There was a junior goalie near my town when I was a teen who had the Balrog on his mask. I always thought it was amazing.

I've used composites for years and never seen this. Do you practice shooting in the basement or garage?

TGN seems really adverse of any product that's been influenced by Pete Smith. (Vaughn/Warrior) Clearly we can only conclude that TGN hates Pete Smith

Recently got back into playing league play after only getting to play pickup for 4+ years MAYBE twice a month. First couple outings got smoked for a couples games 8 goals in back to back games. Got to play and get my timing back down and have been playing a lot better, and it helps that the teams I'm on can actually play and I'm not facing 35+ shots each time. Anyone playing in Colorado springs area? won last night 7-1, and the only goal they had came with less than 2 mins left and was a shot from the point with no traffic and just beat me blocker aside, I was not amused. I did receive a be

Looking good @Lucky Pucker

More than halfway through my first beer league season, and it's been a struggle. I love the guys on my team, and I'm thrilled that they decided to roll the dice on a 40 year old with about 1 year of goal tending experience, but between the older average age compared to other teams, and short benches most nights, we have the fewest goals for in the league. In our first 9, we went 2-6-1. One game, I held the best team in the league - who also has the most goals for - to just 3 goals, and we lost 3-2. Argh! In the past two weeks though, things have started to look up! We've had full line cha

The position of the lacing and the graphic on the boot is triggering a bit of ocd for me
