  1. Keep Soccer out of Hockey 2024
  2. Both Steve McKichan and Jamie Phillips have gone on record saying this: A significant workload specific to our position is reading what is going on in front of us is based off pattern recognition. IMO: At a higher level, when skaters have good fundamentals, shots/passes/etc are easier to read. Generally, the team defending you is also more adept at identifying and eliminating high percentage scoring opportunities. Conversely, at a lower level - skaters with suboptimal skillsets are going to reflect in their body language - making reads difficult and/or chaotic. ie - maybe their stickblade and eyes show they're aiming top corner, but their hands/hips/skates are in position to send it it 5-hole. At the pro level for goalies - IMO it's not so much the physical ability, but the mental acuity to consistently prepared for all lanes to the net. It's different for a skater playing down as a they are dictating the play and forcing the defense to react to them.
  3. Should be a quick repair for a shoe or boot repair shop. They'll take the old eyelet out, patch and glue down a leather piece, then pop another eyelet in through the patch
  4. You full right people are weird...why do I have to turn my head to the right to see the spec sheet

    Pad cleaning

    Melamine sponge is the brand-agnostic product name. 48 sponges for $12 on Amazon. A comparable Mr Clean Magic Eraser product is $6 for 6 sponges
  6. New thread: CHECK OUT THE MODZ ON MY '84 SUBIE
  7. This is less than a full set of gear at retail. I will allow it
  8. I had Vaughn make the change at factory. But it's pretty easy to sew one in yourself
  9. Ehh Have you seen the Mgraphx mask designs?
  10. Sounds like somebody's getting busy on a bed... my PX3s don't creak, I'm guessing it has to do with the layers of foam separating inside the pad
  11. Gonna 1-up you here https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BNQ155KX?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details Stretchy lace that you should be able to get in a color to match your pants.
  12. Vasi in an AB21 Blackwood's stall, look at those biceps on the Vaughn C/A
  13. This answer is different for regular and FR goalies...
  14. I really don't know what's up with the wrap guys. SkinFX took forever too, you'd think he was drawing it himself
  15. None of these. Your head, torso, shoulders should slightly shift toward your right on a blocker save as your head tracks down over it. You're not just moving your torso laterally but also twisting a little bit at the spine. This puts your torso on angle in case of a rebound on that side (so you just pick up your left leg and push), allows you to reach forward and laterally a little bit more to fill space, and gets your glove more toward that side if you do need to cover a muffin. Note you do not want to be "punching" into the puck (I think we discussed this before) as that takes away velocity from the flight path and will frequently just put pucks in the kill zone around you, nor do you want to flex or snap your wrist for the same reason. Just let the board do the work and direct it to the corner.
