Yeah, he's gone to 3 Cup Finals in the last 3 years, 71 postseason games (plus 217 regular season games since 2019-20)...that's a lot of mileage

Thanks for posting this. I'm not on Twitter but I got to nerd out for a few moments while at work This is a bad habit of mine too, I get caught in a relaxed stance when it's in the mid to far ranges when I should be heavy on the puck. I think there's a lot to be said for simple save biomechanics from a high vs low stance, distance from your knees to the ice, the amount of flex you have in your ankles/knees/hips - and this all gets amplified/exploited tenfold at the pro level

So weird. These all popped up in my IG feed recently https://www.instagram.com/p/Crfqv4GATcX/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link https://www.instagram.com/reel/Crf_wNPAK4K/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link https://www.instagram.com/reel/CqQbgC8PZSx/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

I don't think the cowling would affect pad rotation. I'll get a few more skates in and follow up the rest of your post. I will say I wear my FRS pretty loose so that first ice session was promising with what I'm trying to achieve.

I'll give you a couple inches

Picked up a couple of these from a goalie camp to flip. Have them on SLS for $80/pop, gonna shoot them out to people on here for $70/ea + 3% Paypal fees Please reach out with zip/postal code for shipping quote. I just put one for @Rogie in the mail today. EDIT: I've shipped a couple, here are standard rates for US/CAN: USA USPS - Ground: $10 USA USPS - Priority Mail: $12 Canada UPS - Ground: $17 Canada USPS - Ground: $23 Note, since these are cross-listed on SLS, due to the way the rating system there works I will honor those sales first in the very slight off chance there is conflicting interest. Have colors below: 58G: Canadiens Red (0) Gray (1) Burgundy (1) Black (3) 60G: Black (1) Navy (1) These are, IMO the best jerseys around as far as fit and flexibility goes. The jerseys are cut generously enough to fit over a C/A and the material has some stretch to it. I'm 5'11 and wear a CCM AB18Pro under a 58G for reference

Blue. Because he has a kid

It doesn't matter how much they downvote me, they can't bring me down to their (eye) level edit (parenthesis)

You're married now, your balls are not your own

Hearing this won't be available til January 2024...

Obviously we have no way to be sure until the unit releases...but if we use arm length as a baseline (which should be proportional to body length), this Brian's unit looks to be shipping shorter in the torso than the AB18Pro. Here's a rough side-by-side - I cut the little half moon piece off the bottom of my CCM, based on pro returns floating around it looks like most guys are doing the same. Perspective is a little skewed in these photos. Using the neck opening as a reference, we are looking slightly downward on the Brian's and slightly upwards on the CCM. If we really wanted to get crazy with it, I could measure the chest block height and count from the collar to bottom of unit on the CCM, and we could probably extrapolate what we know about block sizes on previous Brian's units...

I've got an open inquiry with The Goalie Crease on availability...waiting to hear back when I can spec out and order When/where did you see this beauty?

@CPage Forgot to respond to this portion of your post I skated today, the CRS that PAW made for me is about 8" closed, 11" opened up. Below is the picture I sent her to copy. Wore the pads with 2.25" of slack at the toe including the knots. Did not have issues in the ankles in or out of the butterfly, they actually centered around my leg pretty well when recovering to my feet. Sara uses a pretty thick/strong elastic in her parts. It feels much heavier duty than I remember the Bauer version being. So, not sure if it what you experienced was material quality issue? Did your pads refuse to rotate back? I also skip the top eyelet in my skates and have the older True one-piece with the leather loop in the back.

So the idea all stemmed from what I noticed with Bob, he runs a CRS through the back of his boot. Here it looks like he's using Prolaces (you can see the black spacer on his right skate) and you can see the CRS on his left skate - this may be from either last year or early this year. On his most recent set, it looks like he's gone back to skate lace and no CRS.

What really worked well for me (38, turning 39 this year) was finding a PT that specializes in PRI, and then doing work with FRC principles for strength and range. I haven't had to visit a massage tech or chiro since.

This may be the first piece of Brian’s gear I will own. It looks like it’s got the CCM style shin pad arms. Rest of the unit looks super solid too @ThatCarGuy I think we’ve found your chesty

@TheGoalNet shared via Instagram a mod I'm testing out on my Px3s. I've stitched in some Bauer-style CRS straps (made by Sara at PAW) to run through the Lundy loop on the back of my skates, and have just switched out the stock ProLace Armor Hybrids (1" gap + 3/4" spacer = 1-3/4" slack in the toe) in the photo to traditional skate lace for testing. Was questioned on the purpose of it by a few people so I'll detail out my theorycrafting here, and to me it boils down to trying to balance the pros and cons of skate toe lace vs elastic toe lace: Elastic toes pros/cons: +: flexibility at the toe when needed +: Keeps toe of skate tighter to toe bridge for better pad control when moving (let's call it "toe slop" here) -: Toe box integration and loading off the post in RVH are awkward, elastic continues to give as you push force through it -: Elastic toes are great on the way down into a butterfly to reduce hip/knee/ankle strain, but once you are down and pushing for more range you are causing greater stress to those areas as you are working against the elastics Skate lace pros/cons: +: Set end point, you always know how much it will let out +: Better integration to post with toe box RVH integration -: More slack = more toe slop - pad slides in all directions around the toe of your skate -: In order to get the same amount of hip/ankle/knee freedom, you need to run more slack with skate lace. As of right now it seems like the current setup only has good things going on for it. I'm running a 2" gap between the bridge and my first knot. Skate lace w/CRS pros/cons: +: Still have your set end point with the skate lace +: Skate lace grants the better RVH post integration +: a tight enough CRS forces the skate boot forward in the boot channel +: Running a longer skate lace to give the flex and rotation, while using CRS to moderate how much freedom you get while still being able to give when you need it Will report back as I get reps with this build. This all may be redundant with a tight enough FRS setup in the calf area. Here's some visuals: Below is a top down shot of the toe bridge, without CRS support. You can imagine how much toe slop there is here. My skates would be going every which way in a 2"-ish arc centered around the toe bridge, represented by the yellow line Below is a zoomed out photo. Note the toe of the pad will probably droop forward like this when you're in your stance - could have both a potential positive and negative effect - pro (shorter thigh rise, easier to move) and a con (sloppy feeling pad/boot) Below is the skate set up with CRS through the Lundy loop. You can see the skate toe is a lot tighter to the toe bar

Go lick them all so you get dibs

I knew @coopaloop1234 was hiding something

I’ve seen these in two formats 1 - choppy and pixelated 10 frame per second video clip with the camera situated at center ice where you can’t even tell if the save is being made 2 - basically every Hills video where he gets lucky the direction he’s sliding in matches the direction of the play (ie. This)

r/hockeygoalies/ in a nutshell What mask is good What pads are good Video clips of some dude in D league with better overlay/video effects than an NHL broadcast (looking at you, digital board ads) "How do I play this situation" posts followed by a bunch of the aforementioned D league superstars giving bad advice

I'm about 20 skates in with mine, enjoying them a lot.

My brother in TRUE Lookin good dude

You guys sell these balls at the shop

Have had both. Current using the one piece
