It's cool to see tribute sets. But I was wondering, in 20 years from now, how will future NHL goalies pay tribut to current NHL goalies? I mean, now, goalies use 3 different masks with different paint-jobs each season and nobody uses the same graphic on gear for more than a one season. So I guess future goalies will still be paying tribute to 80's and 90's goalies. The only goalie with a distinctive and unique mask that comes to mind is Rask. I think he used the same paintjob for his whole career.

Jake Allen is back from his concussion. Seems like he's using a "new" catcher too.

Happy to read that I'm not the only one annoyed by this, I mean the Cowboys. But saying this, The Habs have (at least) 3 different shades of blue for the jersey stripes, pants/helmets and CH logo.

I just hope it's not a new venture from Agatone.

Actual pictures from the game. I wonder how much collectors would be willing to pay for that game-used Rocket jersey?

Price starting for the Laval Rockets tonight. He's expected to play the first half of the game.

Also has a Tim Chevbeldea-ish paint job.

Trevor Kidd must be proud!

The Habs confirmed that it had nothing to do with the previous injury.

Price in his first game with the '93 Roy tribute set. He even got a nash palm. He left with an unknown injury after the 1st period. Probably a neck issue after a contact in the crease and/or a one-timer shot to the neck at the end of the 1st.

I can't believe it took over 25 years for the Avalanche to ditch the black pants, gloves and helmets. I always liked the logo, the colors, but the black was off.

Canadian Federal Income Tax was supposed to be "temporary" during WW1. I'm still paying it, over 100 years later.

You're my hero!

I think the colours should match the Mariners and the SeaHawks. I like when a city clearly has a connection between pro teams. Like Pittsburgh, Pirates, Steelers and Penguins all have the same colours. I would prefer them to match the SeaHawks though, with the lime/Neon green. I think a team's colour scheme should reflect the city and it's environment. Montreal is Red, white, blue because at the beginning, the Habs chose those colours, to reflect the French particularity of the city. It's France's flag colors (back then, Quebec didn't had a flag). When I think of Vancouver, I see the ocean and giant trees. So Blue and green is perfect, I never got into the black, yellow and orange or the Navy, Silver and Maroon. That's where I would start if I was in charge of the graphics for Seattle.

I know Miller tried it and said that, in order to have them form fitting, there's stitching going through the padding, creating soft spots. But they weren't showing pictures in the article. I guess it's a go for next season since the NHL originally planned on making the switch at mid season. My guess is that the NHLPA said no and that it had to start at the beginning of a season.

Has anybody seen any prototypes for the new form fitting C/As goalies will have to wear next season?

yes I saw him. That gave me the idea to post that here.

I hate lexan danglers. I just can't see through it and it always blocks my downward vision. The old Itech dangler is the only one that I can stand. Here's how I attached my Itech dangler to my HM30 clone on my Sportmask Centurion. Works like a charm and never had any issues with it. You need to drill holes on the front and attached the dangler on the front too to solve all the troubles you had.

First time putting the old Itech dangler to Sportmask cage.

The CCM Blokade pads were like this. But it is totally illegal now by NHL rules.... but who cares.

I can ask, I have to go pick up a mask that he's re-padding for me soon.

I will put them upside down with a bit of weight and see if that works. Will see tomorrow.

New set to pick up tomorrow. Warrior R/GT pro 33+2.5.
