I see a cowling. In other words I see skates that I need.

You better source some cowlings on eBay now, those are likely just Soderstrom's custom request :)

What are thooooooooosse!?!

If the only difference on these two is time, then they need to start enforcing that time.

I think it should be more like the original rule change before banning the spinorama, which I believe was to change "forward motion" to "continuous motion" to justify the move at first.  So it's not how long it's on your stick, but if you were to take any freeze frame of the motion and recreate that as a still position in real-time, and the puck would stay on your stick, then it's illegal.

I'd put it in the same category as the rule that technically allows a player (with forward momentum) to twist around behind them and grab a puck that is up in the air and then immediately place it in front of them, because that's where their momentum was going, and have that be legal.  Maybe that rule has changed since the one time I ever saw it happen though.

Just put it in the same category as the Spin-o-Rama goals in the shootout. Gimmicky as all hell and pretty unfair to the goalie, but overall not a big enough to deal to make a stink of it.

There definitely seems to be an injustice in hockey that there are way more "non-hockey" things that shooters can pull off that make it way harder on the goalie, but not so much the other way around.

While I'm in the camp that doing this and making contact with the goalie's mask should be a high sticking penalty and not a goal, ultimately I think this will fall into the category of "let the kids play."  It doesn't happen that often, this one is a pretty precise one that I'd even have a bit of trouble justifying as high sticking other than a "letter of the law" call, and I don't think it violates the spirit of the game.

This is also probably one of the laziest RVH's I've seen in the NHL in a while.  It's one thing for beer league goalies to rely on playing percentages, but Rittich needs to get back on his feet with Svech setting up with time and space.  The higher percentage play on this is a pass out front which he won't be able to effectively drive out to from his knees.  And if you REALLY want to use RVH here, then he shouldn't be slinking back so much into the net, he should be actively leaning and peeking around the post at the guy with the puck so he knows what's coming.

In terms of the rule change, I would agree that the rule should be that you can't carry the puck on your stick in a manner that you can be standing still and the puck is sitting on your stick, off the ice.  But ultimately I think this falls into the category of plays like what they introduced the coaches challenge for.  It's not such a big problem that it necessitates a rule change (they got that wrong by introducing the challenge).

I also don't like the play, for the record, but I see ways to prevent/defend it as a goalie and don't think a rule change is needed other than calling contact with the goalie's head.

I'm not entirely sure how patent law works, but I feel like if you build a business specifically on a certain accessory, you would have some kind of patents to the specific design to prevent it being just straight up adopted by everyone.  At least a ProLaces design, or the Nash, Vaughn etc. ones look like they had to change something.  Just an interesting observation for me, not really a comment on the pads themselves.

The different colourways definitely make the graphic a little less shocking, so I'm sure it will normalize the more we see it.  I'm curious about that hex/weave/embossed material though.  Wassup with that?

So M*nst*r just straight up didn't patent anything eh?

Did they make these specifically for Fleury?  It's almost the VGK logo

This has been my ride for the last nine years, trading in on Tuesday for the 2019 model.

if the blocker, glove, and pads all came together to make the blue and white star?

@ThatCarGuy maybe even just the glove and blocker making their own star could work? Top 3 points on one, bottom 2 on the other?

Making all 4 come together would take some real graphic design flexing, like that Halak set

New CCM Tacks. Went down to the shop to try on new skates. Bauer toe caps still don't fit my gnarled big toe so I'm a ccm only guy. 

Tried on the Tacks, AS1's, and FT2's. FT2's fit alright but we're a bit tight. Which is too bad since I did want to join the cowling less crowd. 

Came down to the AS1's or the previous tacks. I was looking at the next step down of the AS1's (which are identical in spec to the previous tacks) but then I was given an offer of the tacks at $250CAD. So $500 off of retail price. 

Happy with my purchase and am excited to get these going. 

Whoa, who's knob did you have to tape to get that deal?! 

The way the skin is being worn away on Freddy's blocker tonight it makes me feel like a good reveal would be to give him the full new set and cover it all in pad skins. Then reveal small panels every couple games until marketing starts up. 

Maybe not great for padskins, but would be fun to see haha

You say that about every new hyped release.

Just hook it to my veins!!! 

Getting referred to an orthopedic surgeon because my hips have way more arthritis in them than they should for someone at age 31, so we'll see where this goes.  Haven't played since March and after reading this thread, I'll be pretty on-board if they want to scoop them out and replace them

Different kind of deal, but if anyone was looking at a custom Brian's build, The Goalie Crease has some express order spots

I was just trying to update my profile and was unable to. The ad bar on the bottom of the screen was blocking the save button. Couldn’t get ad bar to go away even when reporting ad to google. I view this site on my phone. iPhone 7S Plus. Occasionally ad traffic is problematic with viewing on a phone. 

I have also had some issues like that.  The bottom ad will block the little notification that pops up when you have mentions/PM's etc. so I can't see it or tap it.  Some layout issues with big gaps between ads but that's mostly at the very top of the screen and not at all within topics/threads.  I'm on Android, Galaxy S8. 

Pretty occasional, but seems to be a side effect of an ad related update a little while back.  It's better than the ads I used to get, but messes with the layout a bit.

How much does the bag weigh?

Did you get the rounded shoulders? Trying to figure out if I'd like that and if I'd have to order a size larger if I did. Haven't had a chance to see if the retail stores have any with that option but not expecting much

I can't wait until I can get a recycled CORTech wallet that just slides out of my pocket and that I can't hold onto to save my life
