This thread has come together like the plot of the new Mighty Ducks series on Disney+

We’re done here boys

I've got an Otny CC with ECO foam in size large that I can let go for a good price. Only catch is it's painted with my nickname on it, you'll have to either be comfortable with that, be willing to edit it out, or have it wrapped. https://goalieparts.com/products/otny-cc-eco-pro-goalie-mask.html

Bringing this thread back from the dead Nice R&D, Warrior.

So...mask wraps?

Crazy, I was reading some retailers had their stocking orders stuck on that Evergreen ship that clogged the canal?

I dunno, hopefully it was just a bad batch or a crappy one-off that somehow made it through QC

Spencer Knight's new Florida mask. IMO: It's OK I'm wondering what the Squidward is for. Knight kind of looks like him

I tried on the new CCM 600 at my local shop...gotta say, I wasn't a fan of it at all. It felt like a hybrid between the old CCM Gatekeeper and the Reebok Larceny. My thumb was cocked back and my palm was rolled forward. On the other hand, the True/Lefevre 600 felt good. Hope this glove works out for you!

I understand... but political threads frequently go off the rails, and this is a website for discussing hockey, goalies, and gear.

Just a reminder, please keep discussion on this topic to the player and team...no politics

Merged threads for ease of discussion. Sounds to me like these two issues are related. You'll want to dial down all your strapping. Calf, knee, toe. Pads these days are designed to rotate well on their own and don't need to be worn loose to perform. Pictures of your strapping and toe with your gear on will be helpful as well

Hadoken is the fireball Shoryuken is the uppercut get your shit straight bud

Found you, Pierre Mcguire

Just caught this thread and wanted to chime in. Dropping down a level is not a bad thing, if he's getting a lot of playing time. Dominating at a lower level is huge for confidence. He's going to be working with a bunch of freshly graduated squirts? Sounds like a great opportunity for him to become a leader in the locker room and on the ice - a key skill that will help him in as he becomes a young adult. Not having to see him play, it sounds like there's a great opportunity here for him to work with a private coach and eliminate bad habits/reinforce good ones. As a kid that did goalie lessons once a week, I loved working with my goalie coach, but I was reinforcing the lessons with team practices and games. Just curious, how close are you to NJ? I've got a buddy who's running lessons out there with a good background that I can link you up with.

There's gotta be a good story behind this oven/stove sitting in the middle of the production floor I think my parents have the same one, @ZeroGravitas can you confirm?

Don't worry, the Eco wore through from the inside because it slightly denser foam, which would create a hot wear point on the outside when machine washed...and I believe the skin is slightly different Passau was making everything for Maltese the last year and a half or so; the skin is identical. The Roughneck and Maltese used the softer version of the gel foam that wouldn't create hot spots from the inside.

Legacy 6000*

Thanks for posting in-depth, it's always fun to check out other people's specs and see their thought process., and it looks like you were able to put together some pretty sweet modernized gear with their custom options. I don't follow Vaughn lines enough to know if this is an evolutionary leap from the V8, but the V9 logo looks worlds better! Is there any reason why you didn't elect to eliminate the air mesh in the shin? For me, I've always found that material to be lacking from a durability standpoint. Big props on the reinforced T, I think you'll find some significant gains when shooting the puck as it transfers energy better straight to the stick.

I asked Vaughn for a 5500 chest back when the 8800 first came out and I was shut down. I wanted the smaller shoulder floaters. Maybe they were pushing hard to get 8800s out in the general public back then, or they've loosened the reins on some of their custom policies. They used to be a hard no on doing vintage graphics, and now we're seeing the old V2 and Legacy graphic on their pros...

This c/a was actually pretty good for the pricepoint back in the day

Will Vaughn still custom build a 5500? Back in the mid-00s, one of my buddies at the shop scored a Khabibulin return 5500. Thing was a tank but moved really well. I wonder if you could call in and have it custom ordered...

No. Literally in the catalog. Ultrasonic and 2X are in there with custom options as well

The seatbelt nylon straps don't engage the teeth on the plastic slides as well as what other manufacturers use. Other companies use nylon straps that are a bit thicker and have a woven pattern to it which snags pretty well. My arms got blown up in my PP1.

If you look at the Bauer custom catalog, this pro department C/A is available at retail.
