I’m guessing the idea of taking away aerial angle by getting the glove forward is at play here. So many players can go bar down so easily and quickly the glove has to be proactive by being positioned this way.

Pretty sure TV ratings for all sports are down. Nowadays people have way more viewing options and viewing platforms. This is likely an “Old man yelling at clouds” thread.

What are you doing with the old cowlings? Are they unused?

I also am using the carabiner clip. I attached a suspender loop to the back suspender buttons to attach to.

Somewhat tight to prevent too much movement of the C/A during play. I recently tightened all the straps around the elbow. My elbow wasn't landing in the elbow cup anymore. The elastics are stretched out because the unit is old (c.2006 JB2100). The wrist strap tends to come undone from time to time. I have to make sure the stray straps from the elbow don't interfere when I strap the wrist strap together.

NHL Network is picking up live local broadcasts on NHL Tonight. Right now it’s San Jose at Colorado. I think it’s the Colorado broadcast. I believe the second man in the booth is Peter McNabb. To my earlier point I made in this thread, he talks too much. This is a common flaw in many former players who are in broadcasting as in-game analysts. They blab endlessly while action is going on that the trained commentator is supposed to be calling. McNabb should know better, he’s been doing this for a long time.

You’re not kidding. I think they’re getting desperate.

Chrysler plant here you come.

Those look badass

Always a bummer when another goalie changes gear from a company not heavily represented in the NHL to one of the companies everyone uses. I’m not saying CCM, True or Bauer are bad. It’s just boring when everyone wears the same thing.

Communication tends to be a weakness of the human species.

The only thing I can think of is the website is updated so rarely that perhaps it meant the previous spec. But either way, stinks you can’t get what you want.

So is it the new NHL-spec unit you wanted or did you want it even more streamlined than that? If it’s just the former, I don’t see why he wouldn’t do it unless he’s afraid of liability with selling it to the general public due to reduced safety. Perhaps if you told him your name was Ilya or Vlad he’d do it.

Their social media, Facebook and Instagram, are way more current than his website. I found this post from July 15th: Alexei new NHL Spec Chest and Arm for playing for the with the Sharks. Alexei Melnichuk must be who they’re referring to. He’s a prospect.

Hey, at least he didn’t blind us with naked, nasty, hobbit-like man-feet in the gear pictures like so many do.

I have that as a t-shirt

Awesome. Congratulations. The only thing missing is the curious pet investigating the new item. Or even better the house-cat trying out the new box.

Those are sick or rad or dope or whatever the kids are saying these days.

Maddening that this type of thing is enabled by people in power time and time again. Clearly our culture hasn’t come to grips with how to deal with these incidents IMMEDIATELY AFTER THEY OCCUR. The Blackhawks inaction (or willful cover-up really) not only damaged Beach’s life further, but allowed a younger boy to be abused later. Unforgivable.

An alternative would be regulation only. Three points for a win, one point for a tie. That would actually reward teams for winning since teams that win would pull away in the standings from teams that tend to tie. Of course, owners might not like that. They want everyone alive until the end of the season. Then the playoffs would have overtime as per usual.

The Flyers! Full of Goons?! Never!

I think most telecasts have too many people involved. Professional broadcasters know how to deliver the action and understand how to be succinct with words. Former players do not know how to do any of this and often intrude on the main commentator’s call of the game. And now they often have two former players with the main commentator.

Wow, those look great. Love the shape of that catching glove. When you say the gloves are too big, do you mean the interior in relation to your hands or the spec of the exterior?

Let’s not forget about The Godfather of Death metal, the band Death. In the nineties, Chuck Schuldiner, the vocalist and guitarist would assemble all-star musicians for each album and ushered in technical death metal. Sadly he got brain cancer and died relatively young. Cynic and Meshuggah are two other bands in that mold.
