I know that there is already some conversation on the Utah relocation but just wanted to make it a bit easier to find!

Have at it

Are you talkin about the chesty or the pads/glove/blocker? 

I'm sorry not pads/glove/blocker, meant knee pads/skates/breezers/neck guard/ECT.

Took me longer than I wanted, but best I could do at the moment;

Its not all white, so I heavily approve!

Kaapo Kähkönen’s new alternative set up.

 

 

Just needs a black stick now, then it would be perfect.

Agreed with the black stick. But Kaapo should also customize a newer and darker helmet to match the sweaters.

He looks like a video game goalie.

His pads look really animated.

Meant to say degraded instead of ¨gedraged¨

I'm looking for feedback on TF7/TF9. Especially from users with thin ankles/shins on how well the top of the skates wraps or provides support?

 

If you do get the TF7 specifically they fit awesome and will feel good on your foot for a long time (with occasional re-baking)but, the outer edge will be gedraged quickly by the post and get a ton of scratches.

These are TF9s but,

I have been looking for new pads and have some ideas but I would like more input. The pads/gloves/blockers that I have been looking at are, Bauer M5pros, Bauer Hyperlite 2s, CCM Axis 2.9s, and Brians Optik X3s. Which one of these works best for a shorter conservative goalie who makes saves by being in position and not by flailing around, or are there any others?

With the new update on Sense Arena (The NHL collab), the game got a lot more interactive and fun.

I would definitely recommend getting the game because of this update, if you have a headset.

Have you ever used a Mach or M5 glove? It is extremely loose and I can't get it tight, is it the same on the HP2 glove?

Very very similar to a traditional 590 (pointer to mid thumb) but I've struggled to get comfortable with it. The glove constantly slides off my hand and the lack of traditional thumb and pinky loops only makes that worse.

(More pictures may be added at some point)

Considering how frequently I switch back and forth between the two sets I might as well make this. For the time being this won't be as in depth as my G6 review but it should be alright. 

Specs:

Leg Pads-

Hyperlite 2

Small (33+1.5)

Ultrasonic (medium) stiff

Stabilislide

Remove grip knee

Mach tune fit+

No tune fit connect

Thin shin thickness

No knee flap

No boot strap

Offset supreme toe bridge

Skate lace toe ties

 

Glove-

Hyperlite 2

Pro palm

Add DCT to thumb side

Single tee

Skate lace pocket (changed to nylon almost immediately)

Catch grip palm (suregrip)

 

Blocker-

Mach

No thumb pillow

 

The pads

Pros:

Unlike the warriors I have changed absolutely nothing on these besides centering the skate lace toe ties. They're very very stable, slide better than my machs did, and have the usual bauer rebounds. They've been very comfy to wear on ice and the boot flex is a welcome change coming from my mach set. The lower calf strap is interesting and normally I'm not a fan of them but it can be loosened enough to not be a bother. Toe bridge post integration is a big deal for me and HL2 is incredible at it. The thigh is softer than my warrior pads which does allow for easier mobility and they overall feel much more consistent. They are insanely light and haven't softened up in my time with them.

Cons: I should've gone for the thick shin option to give up a little less net that the warrior pads cover. Next time around I'll give the standard vapor tune fit a try considering that would've probably better fit my playing style and if I had ordered a boot strap that probably would've helped prevent thigh overlap as well (which is still not as bad as the warrior set).

The glove

Pros:

I catch with this much much better than mach and ultrasonic but not quite as good as my long gone Reimer supreme 90 glove. Absolutely no stingers in this glove which has been very nice. The suregrip is a noticeable upgrade from the mach grip print as it doesn't slip around nearly as much on the hand.

Cons:

The wrist strap is annoying. I made the mistake of getting pro palm which doesn't seem to break in any further than it has despite making some lacing adjustments for my preferred tee attachment style. The tee is very soft and bends inwards if anything hits it. The single tee spine is ridiculously wide and will be the reason I'm no longer considering bauer single tees for my gloves. The thumb and pinky loops are not adjustable so I can't wear the glove as tight as I'd like. And finally I still simply can't catch with this as well as my G6 glove.

The blocker

Pros:

Why mess with perfection? I loved my mach blocker and saw no reason to stray from it on this bauer set. Just as before its a perfect blocker in my eyes. The rebounds are hot, the palm is soft and cushioned, the finger protection has great coverage but isn't intrusive, wrist mobility is incredible even with a warrior chest protector, and the curve at the top of the board has been used on several occasions.

Cons:

It is without flaw.

Changes

If I were to order again there are a few changes I would make but not many.

For pads as I said earlier I'd opt for the thick shin option and vapor tune fit calf but I would also opt for the leather calf straps and leather boot strap. The pad tends to swing around during movements and I miss the nylon calf strap from my ccms and warriors. The boot strap is to keep the pads centered. I would also opt for a sewn in lower knee flap rather than none at all because I feel the slightly higher knee strap attachment point could also help the pad stay better centered on my leg and not allow it to move as far away from my skate in butterfly.

For the glove I would get the vapor 90 with a double tee and full nylon pocket lacing (even though I would once again change how the tee attaches). I'd also go for a game ready palm with added DCT on the finger side.

No changes will be made to the blocker unless the next supreme blocker sucks.

 

Feel free to ask for any specific pictures of the set or any questions you may have in general.

What is the new break like on the Hyperlite 2?

Facts

It was pretty apparent Ullmark wasn't himself. Regardless, this feels like the Bruins trying to save face for being embarrassed on the national stage. 

They had a back up with a record of 24-6-4 and they didn't put him in till game 7.

So either they had zero faith in Swayman (??), the Bruins coaching staff is incompetent as fuck, or Ullmark didn't want to give up the crease in an ego move. 

Since it's the Bruins, I'm going to go with all three. 

Cuz fuckem 

The only reason why they had ullmark play almost all of the playoffs and the end of the season was because the Bruins only wanted ullmark to get the Vezina and make him look better than Sway (who is 3x better than ullmark if they would just let him play more often).

cool, thanks!

A Canadian dealer is probably a good idea but go you think that like goalie monkey would work?

If you're in the US, maybe a Canadian retailer to take advantage of the exchange rate.

Otherwise, whichever retailer has availability and/or provides the best customer service re: ordering, advice about specs, etc.

this is a action photo but. . . 

Where should I buy a true hockey full set?
