Is Bristol the United Kingdom? I don’t confuse anything? or is there such a city in North America too?

I didn't mean grammatical mistakes)) the joke was that Canada is # 1 and Russia has performed very badly this year. we're talking about hockey)

Это я тоже заметил

you mixed up the epithets)) Canada has been excellent this year. Yes, you will be surprised, but I was rooting for Canada at the World Championships. do you know why? because a guy from this forum, whom I don't even know, had a relative playing there)) and it aroused interest. if I don't confuse anything, it was he who brought the gold to Canada that you wrote it in Russian, I appreciated

it was slang that Google didn't understand. my fault dead, in this case, means sedentary, useless. well, a wardrobe, yes, it is as a piece of furniture that they call a person of a large size) I appreciate that it made you laugh) really, funny happened with the "dead closet", lol ps When I was writing this, I noticed that Google translated the same word "closet" in different ways. in your version, it will probably look even funnier)

Do you understand how difficult it is to shoot back without knowing the language?) With this level of translation, I just don't understand many of your jokes. therefore, I rarely write, realizing that I am difficult to understand. but I read everything

probably, it is considered cool for you to make fun of a person who does not speak your language. yes, I am writing via google translator, all questions about speech literacy to its developers as for my nationality, this, too, should hardly be a reason for jokes. I have no problems with "Russian teams", a huge number of Russians play in the league, a third of whom are goalkeepers. my attitude to TB does not depend on the fact that three Russians are playing in it, I am generally a fan of the Rangers, by the way. so your jokes in my direction are not appropriate

the loser man is looking for a reason in himself. the loser pussi is in the opponent. exceeding the salary cap only implies the presence of expensive players in the squad. and to teach them to work back to back and lead to victory is the merit of the coach. Pittsburgh and Washington have expensive players, and where are they? Ovechkin has one of the most expensive contracts - has this somehow helped his team? discussion of Vasya's size on the goalkeeper forum can only cause a smile). who, if not people playing the same position, should know that if you are a dead closet, then you are just a dead closet, nothing more. I have the same height as Vasya and the maximum that I have achieved - 3rd place in the regional championship. a truly open-minded hockey fan sees that TB has built a winning team. and the Hubs could not oppose anything to it. they somehow miraculously managed to reach the final. but the miracle does not last forever. if Vegas had made it to the finals, the game would have been completely different. and watching her would be much more interesting

your foot is likely slipping along the foot canal. I had a similar problem on P4 35 + 3. it was decided by a tighter fastening of the boot strap. it borders the longitudinal movement of the leg in the canal. this is its main function when playing butterfly. now I have Opt1k 35 + 2, which in reality is less than P4 and even without a boot strap, the fall into the lower part of the knee block does not occur

heard that they were never allowed to raise the quota from 3,500 to 10,500 fans

I agree that when the main trophy is at stake, different techniques are used. I'm a fan of the Rangers, but I was very glad that my favorite goalkeepers' teams - Price, Fleury, Varley and Vasya - made it to the semifinals of this year. it didn't matter to me who would win the cup in the end, in any case, whoever I liked would win. therefore the unambiguous subjective prejudice puzzled me a little. it has a right to exist, no doubt. just looks strange from the outside

in Russian, it's called - to envy

it's funny to read about dirty Tampa, when the Islanders broke Kucherov in front of the referee and they got nothing for it. in the first game, the Hubs also tried to break Kucherov in front of the referee. and again there was nothing for it. but they paid for it later. and after that you call Tampa dirty? lol

watch highlights on YouTube. it was funny to see the veteran Victor Fasth at the gate of the Swedish national team, in whose C / A I am now playing)

the impression of the second ice did not make any special adjustments. the pad is steadily lowered onto the ice. now only two positions are possible - exactly on the leg and exactly on the ice. due to the thicker knee block, the butterfly became slightly wider, and the load on the ankles decreased. this is especially true after ice. the rebounds have also gotten a little hotter, but most importantly, the knee has stopped falling off the block. eventually. I'm happy with the result

maybe they are. hockeyreviews posted it on his youtube channel

greetings to all! returning from injury took longer than desired. last Friday was my first ice after almost three months. I have not yet had time to properly understand what has changed, but first impressions are as follows: improved rotation of pads, falling on ice always on knee blocks, no bends of the pad, stands exactly perpendicular to the ice. Despite the increased weight on the inside of the pad in the knee area, the return of the pad after recovery from the butterfly to the neutral position did not change. in general, the impressions are pleasant. the work was not done in vain. after the second or third ice I'll be back again, maybe it will be more to tell

ending after installing the core in the casing, the place for the knee block was marked and the excess was cut off then trimmed with braid after which it was time to build. I often read here that the pads are loosely tightened and retightening can get a few inches of loose cord. my pads weren't very tight either, but that didn't give me a lot of cord headroom. due to a slight increase in the thickness of the core in the lower leg area, the cord was not enough. had to look for a new one the knee block was also tied with a cord along with everything else after which the side parts were sewn and toe bridge was sewn Finally, a genpro edging was sewn to the bottom of the pad this is what happened as a result of 2 weeks of work updated bungee laces were also made 5 knots for sagging weighing showed that there are no miracles and the weight of the pads increased by 100+ grams Is this a lot or a little for pads 35 + 2? according to modern trends - not a little. however my previous Premier 4 35 + 3 weighed 2500 grams. on the other hand, there are no heavy pads, there are weak legs))) and my legs are weak. will have to work on this too))) well that's it, end of story) who mastered it to the end - well done! ps Last night I came up with another, new design for the integrated knee block, which promises to be even stronger without significantly increasing the pad's weight. but that's a completely different story)) ps 2 if you have any questions or opinions about this work, please share it. any feedback is appreciated and will be greatly appreciated

gluing the inner break in an inverted position with the load gave an unexpected and pleasant bonus - an increase in the S-curve. now the 5th hole will be closed even better oops! it seems it was a spoiler))) yes, last weekend the pad work was finished

Thank you! really appreciate it!

I (and not only me), always believed that the elastic band passing through the knee block holds the knee on the block much better, and it was just more comfortable for me therefore, I decided to leave its location and abandoned the Bauer mount option thus, it was decided to completely leave the inner flap in its place. but as I experimented with the position of the elastic, a new hole was cut in the inner flap. I eventually gave up on this position, but the hole remained. I had to correct my mistakes first the flap was removed from its place and the unnecessary holes were sutured. I also added a piece of genpro at the stretch and another layer of 4mm foam to hold the cut inner foam together then I sewed everything into place since the thickness of the new block has become larger, the pocket for it has also been increased the very first attempt at assembly showed that the thickness of the block with the inner flap is excessive and the details do not fall into place so much work has been done in vain ... but the one who does nothing is not mistaken The block pocket and the inner flap were again disassembled and joined together in parts, forming a single whole, as in the Bauer version. but the elastic found its place where I wanted) since it had already been adjusted to the length that will not change during the life of the pad, the elastic was simply sewn into the inner flap of the new pocket now everything fell into place to be continued...

Well, my new episode is coming to the end of season 8. spoiler: nobody died)) today there will be a story about the cherry on the cake, for the sake of which everything was started in order to create a new block, it is quite logical to disassemble the past inside the stock block there were two pieces of MD foam not fastened to each other the total thickness of which was about 3 cm I'm not a big proponent of soft foam in the knee block. Moreover, after 2 years of using these pads, the foam has already begun to deform and lose its shape. therefore, for the integrated knee block, which initially meant more rigidity, I used a Premier 4 hard foam knee block. Comparison of Premier 4 Block Thickness and Opt1k Dual Foam Since the single foam from Premier 4 was thinner than required, it was decided to make a composite block of it and one piece of Opt1k foam. at the same time, all this will be carefully glued together. the thickness of such a sandwich became about 4.5 cm why a thicker knee block is needed has been discussed recently in the "block thickness" and "wide butterfly" topics. in a nutshell - this allows the knee to be further from the ice and to expand the ankle more, making a wide bow tie despite the narrow hips Next, I cut the Premiere block, tried it on the pad and prepared a place for the L-shaped plastic amps, which I took from last year's project then the insertion of L-amplifiers followed, to compensate for the thickness of which the HD foam was slightly cut on the front surface of the pad after the glue dries, to equalize the thickness of the L-reinforcements, 4mm foam was added with an adhesive base on both sides in the end, one piece of foam from Opt1k was glued to the knee block and LD foam drain into the knee area on the core itself the final thickness of the finished integrated block was 5 cm or 2 inches after which everything was cleaned of the prints of my dirty paws, so as not to leave traces)))

today I will try to answer the main question - why? over the past 20 years, the design of the knee block has not radically changed. it's still a few pieces of foam held together by Velcro and sewn on or tied to the pad lack of rigid integration with the pad, allows the knee block to do like this which negatively affects the stability of the pad and its responsiveness what the integrated knee block gives - it is better to ask @TGN, he tried out the new products from Bauer and will tell you about it better than me. in my opinion, the hard connection allows the pad to lie more evenly on the ice perpendicular to it. the absence of block deformations allows you not to waste energy on them and, accordingly, the responsiveness of the pad improves, it becomes more reactive. it's like skating with lace-up skates and no lacing at all The funny thing is that according to reviews, the pads from Bauer suffered from the greatest looseness of the knee block)). apparently for this reason, they were the first to decide to implement this integration my Opt1ks, despite the fact that they were bought already very second-hand, had a fairly small block movement. however, I ran into another problem with them, these are the first pads in my practice. which allowed me to do so knocking the knee off the block sideways even the presence of an elastic band passing through the block could not save the situation I even added another elastic band, but it didn't help much while working on this project, disassembling the pads into their component parts, I seem to understand what was the reason for the knee slipping off the block the fact is that the block itself is about 3 cm thick and is tied to the pad at a distance of 5 cm from the edge. This photo clearly shows that there is a distance between the middle, main unit and the outer valve at the point of contact with the pad thus, when falling into a butterfly, it turns out that the upper part of the block and your knee on it are pressed against the ice, and the lower part. sewn to the pad is at a greater distance from the ice. Thus, between the ice and the inner valve of the block on which your knee lies, a triangle is formed with a plane inclined relative to the ice on which the knee lies. which ultimately contributes to the knee stalling off the block we managed to solve this problem by leveling the block thickness during the work on the project. Summing up, I will say that the main motivation for this project for me was a test of strength and research interest, rather than an urgent need to be...
