I think someone else has the voodoo dolls!

Miller is over-rated. He cost the Blues a Stanley Cup. Well, he, the Olympics, Hitchcock, a curse, voodoo dolls, etc., etc,

I should have done that! I ended up using toe straps and buckles for a little while until I got my Brian's toe straps. I actually liked the toe straps.

It was noobiitis, SBR! Just plain noobie stuff. I would wear them loose and cut them. Very embarrassing, for certain!

For me- the most important part of these elasic/velcro closure systems IS getting dressed quicker. Since I came to the goalie game late in life, I never could get traditional toe ties right. They were terrible for me. I went to toe straps and buckles before I did elastics! I thought I was going to screw up my knees and ankles with toe ties. Then the Brian's Smart Toe came along. Whilst not sticking with them, they were a world changer for me. They do recentre the pad quicker, but for me only nominally. I only got my regular toe lace on correctly 30% of the time, and then I'd end up cutting them with my skate half of time overall. I would have to get helped to the bench to fix my pads. If nothing else- the elastics helped me get dressed faster AND prevent untimely equipment malfunctions.

Usually- there are not intensive purposes!

Unless there ARE "intensive purposes", then that's correct

I've only seen the bulbous forehead Roy on the website. That being said, Michel is very quick with emails.

That's why my billboard pads work so well with padskinz!

Best Padskinz job I have seen.

Looks good! I am a sucker for Taz!

Not bidding on Aeroflex pads. I thought the seller would get some sense. Somebody bought them for the over-inflated price! My next set will be loosely based on those for the butterfly goalie.

The craziest thing was by the time I got them modded (therefore could not be returned), a pair more appropriate size wise became available! ?

That gear is HAWT!!!!

Nothing. But I felt like I wasted money; therefore a gear regret!

Bauer One.9 Supreme pads. In this case, it was because they were WAAAAAY too tall.

And me

Exactly! That is why G'd invented Chocolate, Vanilla and Pistachio ice cream!

I like them all, though I am a rounded shape guy most. I am intrigued by the bulbous Roy shape (which is what Michel sells) and the Brodeur. I really like that Belfour shape, though. A lot more than I thought I did...

Indeedy! Very attractive shell, no? May have order that one, as well!

I think this is Belfour:

Let me see if I can pull up a pic I have of the Protechsport Belfour...

If I could, I would!

I like the more round shell shapes. And I do think Belfour was more known for the Warwick than a Protechsport. That could just be a shell name. A Warwick is also part of NHL history, too; just less affordable... I may just have my wife help me. Who knows? I understand where you're coming from with damaged relationships. I've damaged plenty of my own over the years. I was hoping to interview Ed to restart my internet journalism career. He never got back to me and I did not have time to be more persistent. My observation is that the whole goalie masque business made him a teeny bit jaded, though I could be completely off here. I hope I am, frankly. But the feeling I got was that he did not want to go back there. I wanted to talk about what he was STILL doing with composites, as he does objects d'art with composites.
