This is what happens when you leave upkeep of the BB to your minions

I flipped through Cup finals matchup history here: https://www.championshiphistory.com/nhl.php Biggest hardware gap between starting goalies in Cup Final in recent memory that popped out to me is Kuemper vs. Vasi last year. I also chuckled when I glanced past the 2010 Chi/Phi final, that was probably the low point for goalies (Niemi vs Leighton) Gary Bettman's really happy right now

I ordered 1000 "I told you so" stickers last month out of spite I'll send you some to use

Seeya, homie. Based on your email, you're the same dude that got banned on GGSU a few years ago for going around starting fights on there for no reason, then report people to Facebook for disagreeing with you. Probably get some kind of sick kick out of it. That MO has clearly continued on here and I'm sick of dealing with it. Hope you get some control in your life back as it's clearly affecting your online persona.

We both know it won't....

Article from 13 (!) years ago when media started noticing the change toward Euro goalies. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/hockey/european-goalies-becoming-the-rule-not-the-exception/article560001/ Article from 2020 out of the IIHF https://www.iihf.com/en/news/20397/year-of-the-european-goalie Article from 2016 out of USA Hockey https://www.usahockeymagazine.com/article/2016-06/goalie-issue-homegrown-goalies Long-time goalie coach Jon Elkin on record saying Ontario isn't doing a good enough job developing their own goalies https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/hamilton/ohl-trades-hockey-1.5011453 Marty Biron and Marty Brodeur on record saying Europe does a better job developing goalies (2021) https://nypost.com/2021/03/20/why-quebec-is-no-longer-an-nhl-goalie-factory/ So with those 5 links we've covered: media 2 hockey organizational bodies A reputable goalie coach who's been coaching 30+(?) years two NHL alum (one of whom is arguably GOAT) who all agree the European goalie development model is better than the North American one.

One game closer, you mongrels

Only thing I can think of is the chin of your mask rubbing up on top of the collar?

The real irony here is that you’ve called me a teenager twice but still clearly have not progressed beyond grade 12 yourself - the most recent example as being the fact you do not understand what “cherry picking” in a logical argument actually is. I won’t waste my time in suggesting you look it up, as that would require you to have a desire for personal growth. Word of advice, quit while (you think) you’re ahead, as you’re punching well above your weight class arguing with strangers on the internet. You’ve got a long history of being a pedantic prick to people on this board. Next time you’re even remotely a dick to someone on here, you’re getting permabanned.

All gone.

The McKenney actually looks like it has the shin pad style arms like the CCM AB18/AB23 https://mckenneyhockey.com/en-us/products/xpg2-pro-elite-chest-arm Unfortunately I don't think anyone on this BB has picked one up yet

Yes, I am projecting my GODLY MOD POWERS to sway public opinion against you and it has absolutely nothing to do with you posting baseless hot takes on this board, reporting people for disagreeing with you, complaining about being banned by GoalieGearNerd from his Instagram....I could go on. But nah, let me dig up some receipts. So yeah, people calling you a dick is my fault. Come on dude, you can't be this thick-headed.

It's like finding a brand new set of leg pads in your garage....

I'm sure they put a lot more love and care into the NHL ones

FYI, this is from April 7

I believe there is a goalie mask collector group on Facebook. IIRC these things were going for like $2k in good condition a few years ago.

You're a beauty

Watching teams draft goalies every year is kind of fun if you're into pattern recognition. You hear the term 'copycat' thrown around quite often and I think drafting history shows this to be true. Late 80s to mid 90s: GMs all over Quebec trying to find the next Patrick Roy Mid 90s to early 00s: GMs all over Czech to find the next Hasek (Roman Cechmanek and Roman Turek should pay royalties to Hasek for their careers) Early to mid 00s: GMs all over Finland to find the next Kipper Mid 00s to early 10s: Now it's off to Sweden so we can clone Lundqvist. What? He's got a twin? Can he play net? Early 10s: All right boys let's make another Bobrovsky out of Russia etc. Looking at Vezina candidates by decade, we can see the 80s and 90s were dominated by North American tendies. As we move into the 00s and 10s, there are two years punctuated by all-Euro goalie candidates: 12-13: Bob, Lundy, Niemi 21-22: Shesty, Marky, Saros Until then, the defacto 'best goalies in the world' were North American. So we're dealing with a smaller sample size. Similar to how people used to say "Easton sticks break all the time" - well, they had the biggest market share so you're going to see a lot more broken Easton sticks. IMO Euro goalies only really came into vogue in the NHL after Hasek, then Kipper, then Lundqvist had their runs. I don't know if you're intentionally oblivious or if it's an act you just put out on the internet. You're right, I should be nicer because I genuinely feel bad for you. Here you are expecting a REAL PERSON to be unbiased, and in the same thread you are making some clearly skewed* (and arguably xenophobic) remarks about North American tendies being better/more Cup-worthy than everyone else... *this is a synonym for 'biased'

The Bauer product is good, and I think the levels of build they offer is good for most people. I may have just had bad luck with the stitching pulling. I got absolutely smoked a couple times in my Kenesky. Like, my entire right arm was black and blue for 2 weeks. I tried to give them an order in February for some small parts (leather and elastic straps). Haven't heard back since March. Not worth it

I custom ordered a Hyperlite with Mach arms last year. Had the full beef up kit specced on there (upper + lower arms, shoulders) and still caught some pretty bad bruises through it against various levels of Euro pro, NA pro, NCAA and Junior guys. Also had some minor quality quibbles on the unit. I gave it 3-4 skates before going back to my CCM AB18 and stitches were already popping out of it by the end.

Feel bad for Andersen, there were some really bad defensive breakdowns on the first 3 goals against Stoked to see Bob continue his run. Was nerding out with a goalie I work out with how Bob has toned his game down a lot and learned to play off patient edges and getting good reads

Definitely get checked out by a doc, that is not normal.

Looks to me like the elastic should start at the blue X?
