  1. Does anyone have a west and east team they would want to win? That they wouldn’t normally? Minnesota and Toronto for me, but hah! We shall see!
  2. All this talk of big vs small reminds me of this (excuse the terrible quality, but those who know, know)
  3. With regards to the three incidents posted here. A slight embellishment by Shesterkin in my opinion, a blatant run at Raanta and an unfortunate ‘part of the job’ moment for Keumper. But, what will be the backlash for said incidents from the teams and the league? Let’s watch!
  4. 25”, I approve! Curious, what’s your height? I’m 6’2” and always preferred a smaller paddle as I hunkered down quite a bit. Had a 27” Koho for a bit that felt massive.
  5. Oh believe me, the disdain runs deep! Especially for steak and kidney and rust bucket. Could care less for the canes, but as you so rightly said, it’s the Bruins, default hate!
  6. I’m not for either team to win their respective series, but it’s actions like that which makes me want them to lose all the more!
  7. That’s a 3 pack price. Slap “limited collectors edition” on something and it’s an instant doubling of price.
  8. It’s a head scratcher huh!? Time will tell I suppose.
  9. Yes yes yes, you got me there. He redeemed himself when he went to Calgary tho!
  10. I can’t say much on the topic as an Englishman, but I reckon give it time and if the coyotes don’t make up the numbers, they’ll get moved and rebranded. I think an extra Canadian team is overdue.
  11. Anyone had a Fred Braithwaite moment when playing the puck? I have once and it wouldn’t of been 6-5 win that’s for sure if I didn’t! Side note, I can never be mad at Smith’s setups, dudes got style. Even if he biffs it!
  12. And like all English players, moved to North America at a young age and changes citizenship! Byron Dafoe comes to mind. One day I’ll see an English player get drafted and stick it in the training camp. But regardless, I love seeing EBUG’s in any scenario. Good for him!
  13. When I got my set many moons ago, I wanted teal nylon to match the jenpro. No retailer had it anywhere, I played with the idea of Kelly green or black, but it did not look right at all. Had to settle with white and I despise white on pads, where avoidable. So I can understand your mates frustration with the clashing of greens! Side note; I dig his set, I see very little white! Yay!
  14. I think his thoughts were “f*ck laces!”. I dig it.
  15. I must of been too old skool for my own good. I wore nothing but deep heat spray, much to the dismay of whoever was next to me in the locker room. Occupational hazard. Bare in mind, I’d definitely wear knee pads if I’d ever come out of retirement. Some of the pads here look like puffy clouds for the softest of landings!
  16. I had Sher-Wood skinned TPS R10’s with a single internal break above the knee, 36+2. Stiff didn’t even come close, I regretted them after a while, but I made them work in the end! As we’re all saying, some goalies play with what they can and get used to it. Others have the luxury of trying out different makers and setups etc. And then there’s the ones who make unfortunate mistakes with their gear, but learn to play with it anyway!
  17. That they do, I do like Shesterkin’s come to think of it.
  18. How long before Freddy states he doesn’t like anything touching the back of his leg?
  19. Nice to see a goalie take advantage of Brian’s customised services! Last person I remember doing such things was Aaron Dell. I’m not a red wings fan on any level, but those are awesome!
  20. That’s cool, I remember him in the AHL, but unfortunately Cologne got swept by Berlin, so Pogge’s done for the season! At least he can enjoy the sun now! As for the frustrated empty net goal? They probably thought it was a touchdown….
  21. Good stuff. I’m also watching the DEL too, not on level with the swedes quite. But the passion is equally there. And hey Ho, Justin Pogge is my teams goalie! That made me laugh, he’s doing good tho!
  22. When I got my own mask, I took a shot to the collar bone. Hate collars as they feel chokey for me personally. Instantly invested in a dangler! And those Wedgewood pads are wicked. I hope he keeps the mask a black base as is, compliments the setup nicely.
  23. I loved Irbe, as if I haven’t mentioned it here before, big Sharks fan. He’s probably my number 2 all time. I’m hoping you have some lunging, sprawling poke checks channelling him!?
  24. Irbe inspired? I approve! Do they help you play ‘like wall’?
