Yea, the ones where the opposite goal line is just only a little further than a regular blue line.

Gifs work just fine.

I do enjoy how full on you've taken this Pooper joke Bunny.

I'm just being an ass. They're really not a big deal, but definitely leads to the question of: "Why?"

Because it looks dumb and unnecessary?

Excellent post. Especially with the follow up.

I believe that was Rittich and the Flames goalie coach. Coach is right though. Just because this has become the flavour of the day doesn't mean that the tried, tested, and true wrap around on the ice isn't more dangerous and faster. It really comes down to defending a low chance play vs a higher chance play. I guarantee that the first goalie that gets faked out by this will be torn apart for not defending correctly.

I think it's more the impression that the GGN's and GCN's give off about the new lines that make them seem as a larger version of an advertisement branch of each respective company instead of an actual review focused page. I both understand why they do it the way they do and why it bugs me as much as it does. Gear is expensive and acquiring all the newest and greatest before it releases to the public is a bonus that they're able to get. The caveat in that is that all of their impressions/reviews are heavily slanted towards avoiding mentioning anything remotely negative about a pad. Hopefully that makes sense.

hahah. yes!

Woah woah woah. What are you doing? This is now a retro hockey video game thread. C'mon now.

It was all about the NHL '94. Skate behind the net and out front again and shoot. 95% guarantee goal. Won so many Stanley Cups.

If they do remove it, it won't be for a few years and that's after the move becomes super stale and has a high amount of success. I.E.: Spin-o-rama's in the shootout.

You see those type of slashes a million times a game. Just looks worse as Ottawa's stick is in the air and they knocked Suro's stick out of his hand. Good no call.

I understand what you're saying, but it feels like the marketing behind both lines is a tad extreme. Especially the axis line. It's great CCM is finally getting with the times, but all the goalie IG guys are salivating over it and it looks like a more modernized premier pad. Which, really, isn't anything that exciting.

That's not allowed in today's NHL. No fighting, just showboating.

Always with da spicy peppers

I'm diggin it.

Because it is.

Anyone else feel like the new highly touted lines of the Axis and ULTRASONIC SUPREME WITH CHEESE pads are just slight improvements instead of these "revolutionary" changes every goalie social media account is claiming?

There it is. The classic Knights championship photo. - Hand displaying total wins: Check - Lack of any enthusiasm: Check - Empty Arena: Check - Winning with whatever goalie they can find: Check

You posted this on the last page lol.

Start a Go Fund Me: "Help me raise funds so I can stick it to the other hockey parents" I'll contribute this picture to help draw in interest from the old hockey moms.

Some simple little pad wrap to help the pads match the jerseys (rangers)

Nice trophies
