The stick is weird for sure - but the weirdest thing of all is this video. WTF???

I know there was talk of Vaughn's pink - stumbled across this if its helpful... https://www.instagram.com/vaughncustomsports/ Should be in the first batch of photos after clicking "more photos" if the photo didn't work.

EXACTLY. Same feel for sure... but still better than that turd.

I was kind of being sarcastic with the Captain America/Man-Bat nod (NOT being sarcastic in saying sweet lid). Figured there had to be more to the story - thanks for sharing the backstory. Looks good with the unis. Agreed that the white one is far and away the best of the bunch. For whatever reason the middle/blue one reminds me of some of the mid-90's NHL atrocities: Islanders fish sticks guy, leaping mighty duck, etc. Same vibe at least (but still pulling it off better than those).

Sweet lid. What's going on there? Captain America/Man-Bat theme?

The Brian's set is on point (star graphic pun unintentional).

Got to be “Flower” - right? His sparsely populated goatee looks to fit the bill…

Not to discredit any of the folks who've replied above but you'll likely get the most reliable answer from one of the Warrior reps (for not just this particular question but anything Warrior-related). Believe @Kirk3190 is one.

I think what you're trying to say is "f*ck Vegas". Funny how quickly they went from the team you want to root for to the team you want to root against. Really kind of pulled the same thing on Gallant too.

I would have guessed Philly. Sorry @MTH just made sense that if something ridiculous would happen in the goaltending realm - it'd happen in Philly.

Is Carolina really better with a Freddie/Raanta combo than an Optimus Reim/Mrazek/Ned triumvirate? Still trying to figure that one out. Where is Bishop going? Have to imagine he's going somewhere after being left exposed and the Holtby signing?

In that case - all aces for both our teams... at least for now. Stevie Y fleeced the Canes for Ned and you got your dream 1A/1B combo. Cheers.

Credit to a buddy of mine for the idea (and nothing against Lehner)... How great would that be if Flower ends up in Colorado, knocks Vegas out of the playoffs and wins The Cup? Granted - his salary is likely prohibitive after the Landeskog signing (and I'm no Avalanche fan) but it seems like there should be some justice for a classless move by Vegas against a fairly universally thought to be classy Flower.

@seagoal I hope the signing of Grubs doesn't send you on a tailspin - how you feeling about it? Seems they should have been set with Driedger/Vanecek but I'm no NHL GM. Somebody's got to get moved at this point - right?

Recent history-wise and Osgood/Howard aside - Detroit really doesn't have a stellar record of developing homegrown tender prospects. Historically they are more of a comb the free agent/trade market for a body team. Besides - not much you can do when Filip Larsson totally bombs and/or Petruzzelli doesn't sign. Also think its better to have your goalie come in on the tail end of the rebuild effort. That way his confidence isn't crushed when he's playing as the team is bottomed out. For the record - I like everything about the Nedeljkovic trade: in/out, term, dollars. Kudos to Stevie. Even if he's terrible - keeping in the bottom tier of wins/losses will continue to stockpile higher draft picks.

... though his interview blurb was pretty dry compared to Brandon Tanev's.

Does this mean he was/is your pick for the gorgeous player? He is a good looking man.

Welcome aboard the board.

You guys are generous. If I'm already off the ice - as in they didn't stand by the glass and motion like crazies trying to sign "we need a keeper" as my game is wrapping up - I'm OWT.

Piling shit does certainly lead to an accumulation... congratulations on one of the bigger piles around here.

I'd be even more impressed if I knew what magical brass rings you have to have achieved to move up the social ladder into the top 3%. As it stands - it feels more like a toy in the cereal box and less of an "achievement"... but - well done... I guess... ?

McMaster Carr is a place to find an assortment of "foams". Guess it boils down to what pieces you are trying to replace - more rigid pieces or those of the cushy variety? There are certainly others that are more knowledgeable on the subject. I don't get into tearing apart gloves personally. Good luck.

At the end of the day - so long as your yard is perfectly manicured (I'm talking lining it up properly, edging, etc.) it doesn't matter how you got it done. For the record - the Gravely is probably overkill for my acre but we're gear nut goalies - that's what we do. Shoutout to my pops who put me through over a decade mowing little old ladies' lawns when I was a wee lad and stoked my appreciation for a well manicured lawn (and Tim Allen).

@Larceny#30 realize this thread is a bit dated but turned up this link from the Mod Squad BB... https://modsquadhockey.com/forums/topic/32796-olie-ma2000-pro-series-goalie-mask/ .. which essentially says - 2000 = fiberglass/carbon fiber (if the user is to be believed). They also talk of cracking and whatnot. I know you were talking 8000 so somewhere else I found the 8000 being a ringette mask (which might loan to the point above with it being polycarbonate). Regardless - I stand by my I'd skip it assessment. Just thought I'd throw this in there in case they next body has the same question and does a search.

Zero turn or bust... unless you are in "the city" of course. 52" cut with the Kawasaki motor for me (cue Tim Allen/Taylor grunting)... https://www.gravely.com/en-us/power-equipment/zero-turn/zt-xl ... would have gone bigger/more power but it wouldn't have fit in the shed.
