Probably a Warrior since he's rocking everything else W? 

Glad to hear it. Keep 'er goin' eh...

Ahh... did not know that.  Sounds gruesome.  Wish you well in your recovery!

@con50582 agreed to adopt, love, and care for it.

Dang for me, yay for him.  Unless of course you have another medium stashed in your archives...

Hey, following up on this.  Just talked to my guy, said he's ok with letting this go.  I'll probably pick it up tomorrow from him and can PM you pics and details then.

Did the ccm find a new home?

Yeesh.  Don't think anyone would have said it would be 6-1 Vegas end of the second.  
Im not blaming bob entirely but he's been dreadful in the series with goals going under and through. Plus he's downright awful up high.  Does bob play low too much? He's incredibly athletic and makes crazy saves but I'm not sure the consistency is there.  
Then again, I'm fat and old and get winded walking up the stairs...

I'm thinking Vegas gets er done tonight.  I think they're the better team, have WAY more composure and are less banged up. 
Cats emptied the tank getting here and it doesn't look like they have anything left.  Pretty much literally.  
Hopefully we have an entertaining game and a remarkable story for a modern era expansion team who's had tremendous success.  
 

(As a leafs fan it kinda makes me sick to see how far we STILL are from this level of compete....)

Agreed. He was the total difference maker for fla

* trigger warning - post contains grumpy old man thoughts.
 

Cats really need tkachuk to stop being sideshow bob, play some damn hockey, help his team. 
His "tough guy" 2 year old act is so done.  
 

Now where did I leave my glasses.....

Have the wheels fallen off for the cats? Bobo on the bench, down 4-0 and chasing their tails right now. Man Hill sure is looking strong.  

Sweet looking set Candyman.  Must be murder waiting to get them on the ice!  

Wow! Fla vs Vegas for the Cup. Whoddathunkit? 
 

When the playoffs started I was half serious when I said to my brother, "what's the point of even playing the games? Just give the Cup to Boston". Man I love when I'm wrong. (happens often) 

My own beloved Anrmadilla.  Custom paint and fit signed by Don.  Went to his shop in Cambridge a couple of times.  Guy is an engineering genius who was way ahead of the curve. For those who don't know, he got out of hockey and brought many of his brilliant ideas to Nascar.  
To this day he's the only manufacturer I know who put a rubber u-channel around the mask edge.  I have put this on all my masks since then.  

*Note the cozy flannel lining in the custom mask bags he also made.  Guy was a perfectionist. 

When the other guys come in to your barn and steal 2 in o/t... I dunno. I'm beginning to think fla is legit. 

Thanks man.  Good to know!

Any time dude. 

These showed up in the mail today coop.. Exactly what I needed.  Cheers 

Oilers start Skinner who's 3.62 and .890 for an elimination game. 
 

Hey fellas. Reviving this for a quick question. Couldn't find this elsewhere so here goes. 
I understand that bobrovsky shaved down his paddle.  Does anyone reliably know if he also shortened the length of the shaft? 
 

For myself, I tower at 5'9 and am thinking of going to an intermediate 23".  Seems to me like it would accomplish the same objective as Bob but without all this shaving down business.  I'm also notoriously "unreliable" with power tools in my hands...

thoughts?

Exactly!  Obviously coach knows best but it just doesn't make sense to my little pea brain...

Fwiw, every time I see Jack mopping up for skinner, who has given up some astonishingly bad goals, I can't help wondering why they don't come back with jack.  Saw this in an article which seems to verify what I've casually observed. 
 

"While a smaller sample size, Campbell's numbers are better than Skinner's and it's not particularly close. Campbell has a .947 save percentage and a goals-against average of 1.53. Skinner has a .888 save percentage and a goals-against of 3.60"

Dear lord I need a life!  lol

Or the V9 which was essentially identical. I only mention it because I feel like you can see the blue of V9 logo.

Plus the grey straps so yes, V9?

Has anyone found that going from a G3/4/5 to the G6+ a bit of a weird experience?

 

I had the G4 gloves - in the 6's now. 
I love the trapper and find it a modest improvement to the G4 which I thought was a puck hoover! 
 

I honestly prefer the G4 blocker though. Wish I had kept mine but who can possibly play with a mixed set???  Can't quite put my finger on it but it somehow feels constricted in comparison.  

Coming to realise that despite being a Leafs fan I'm dreaming of a Canes vs Oilers final.   
 

love my buds but they're nowhere near ready yet. 
Beyond thrilled that Woll stepped up with such incredible calm and composure.  Impressive
