  1. Don't know if it was shown here before, but Ville Husso's mask is a BEAUTY!!!! The design even continues onto the backplate. Simple, effective and totally matches the team's image. Red straps too, nice touch.
  2. Jake Allen with a new mask last week-end. I usually like simple mask paintjobs, but not sure about this one. I would have added a couple of stripes on the sides and I would have make the window white. Something like that.
  3. Yeah maybe. I just don't remember why I had a natural colored one. I've never seen an other Koho like this after but damn I've tried. Heaton sticks were unpainted but they were breaking way too fast.
  4. It was a Koho Evolution Stick, the one endorsed by Bob Sauvé.
  5. Hayward with 20 wins and 2.90 AVG, those are great numbers for the late 80's, especially for a back-up.
  6. I sold them when I stopped playing after my Junior years. I'm pretty sure I'd still play in them if I'd kept them.
  7. Is it OK if the action picture is from 1995? That was my favorite set prior the profly box pads : Ferland Victory pads Koho Revolution gloves CCM Supra pants Brian's C/A with lots of modifications Cooper kneepads Bauer skates Protechsport original mask with Hextal paintjob.
  8. Me too. But when it's almost all white because it has a touch of nostalgia (like Allen with the old Brian's logo and star graphic) I may like it.
  9. Now I see it! But I don't think Hayward had these pads for a long period of time.
  10. Jake Allen's 2nd Brian's set of the season. But I think this would have matched better
  11. Not sure about Primeau's set. Looks good on this picture but from afar (stands or on TV), it looks like a mess.
  12. Jake Allen in a full Brian's set this year.
  13. I'm working on something totally custom right now. I hope to be able to show pictures real soon. But the way I was thinking is: Making a neck-guard for those who hates neck-guards. I stopped wearing neck-guards (and danglers) when I started playing semi-pro in 2004. It was affecting my head mobility and downward vision and I've prefer to take that risk and "playing better". But now, at the point that I am (beer leagues), I'm tired of collar bones bruises but still can't stand wearing a neck-guard. I can't stand having something bulky wrapped around my neck. So I went into a little project and get a fully custom one. Also, my neck measures something like 21.5" and I couldn't find one that fits me in stores.
  14. The first Koho Revolution pads! Totally hated them. Heavy, too stiff, the weight seemed unbalanced. They were just plain odd for me. Patrick Roy had his pads rebuild by Lefebvre just before the 1993 playoffs, so I think I wasn't the only one who didn't liked them LOL Loved the Koho Revolution gloves though.
  15. Yeah. Not sure if I like it or not. But I won't cry at less black accessories (helmets, pants) though. I was so happy when the Avalanche finally got it right. The black pants and helmets in Colorado always bugged me. But I'm sad the Sharks ditched the orange accent though.
  16. I bet all those pictures of TT were taken during the same game! LOL
  17. The bottom 2 guys are the Bushwhackers : Cousin Butch and Cousin Luke. They're from New Zealand and they were known as the Sheepherders in the NWA and The Kiwis before that. Outback Jack was a different guy from Australia when WWF tried to capitalize on the Crocodile Dundee frenzy during the 80's.
  18. A laughed so hard at this one! Goalies in the conferences finals.
  19. I wasn't talking about the feel, I was talking about the protection (I use kneepads under socks). But boards were more protective than anything else, no matter if it felt right or not, that was my point.
  20. To make sure people see better how it was working. Protectionwise, thigh boards were the best. But the NHL banned them since it was adding extra 5 hole coverage.
  21. They took out the speed lines from the logo. Are they trying to say that with the new CCM gear, you won't be as fast as before????? Just joking.
  22. Only once a week now, but I still play.
  23. I still come here often, but I no longer have all the contacts I had in the goalie gear business, so I don't have much to add to discussions. I'm into making comic books now, it takes a big chunk of my time.
