Customizer's live. Have at it

As sizing goes up on the body of the Premier/ABPro/PP1, they will add another block to the belly. IIRC a Medium was 4 blocks, Large 5 blocks, and XL 6 blocks. Yes I am still a sales rep for the Sportmask.ca retail site

If you click up on @motowngoalie's link to a SLS ad, you have another "Most Outrageous Ask" Honestly I'm not opposed to putting up a "Meme Gear Sales" thread where we share silly ads

Guessing here, but skate convection ovens aren't preheated either. You don't want the wire racks to be super hot when you put your skates on them as it'll melt the plastic/carbon

Neat find. I remember reading about his full custom Vaughn C/As in the GSBB days, but never saw pics until Kenesky put this one on their IG. I wonder why Miller decided to try out Kenesky - did Vaughn decide it wasn't worth their time anymore? Is he in one of these now, or did he find something else?

Right, I sent them to @TheGoalNet to check out, then I sold them to a dude in Arizona. I took a bit of a hit on them off buying new, but it was somewhat offset as I was able to apply a new credit card promo (spend X get Y back) on a portion of the new price. I saw them back up for sale a few weeks ago by another dude in Arizona, so I'm guessing the original buyer flipped them. I attribute this to a few things - Covid, no one is playing Colors Concerns over sizing on the 20.1 line It's going to be an uphill battle buying and flipping gear and you'll have to wade through a lot of silly PMs, especially if you're selling on SLS. I wish the app retained some of the messages I received last year as it was a pretty dog shit experience. Maybe 5-6 messages asking me to split the glove (even though I stated I wanted to sell as a set), a few asking for trades (when I specifically stated I was not interested in trades), etc.

It just occurred to me that Michele is turning 62 this year and I don't have one of his masks...I'll need to make it happen before he retires

I suppose being a sex worker has its perks

It's carbon looking jenpro

Glove Lefevre 20.1 (double tee, leather wrist strap): 2 lb 3.7 oz EF4 (double tee, leather wrist strap): 2 lb 9.6 oz 2x Pro: 2 lb 6.7 oz Axis (w/D3O): 2 lb 8.9 oz Blocker Lefevre 20.1: 1 lb 15.3 oz EF4: 2 lb 0.2 oz 2X Pro: 2 lb 2 oz Axis (one piece cuff): 1 lb 14.1 oz

They've been pretty much the same since V6 (?) IMO it's more like watching the little kid in class fight and bite the other kids. You let him get away with it because you want the other parents to deal with it

You're a set of Warrior gear and a receding hair line away from being a typical adult beer league goalie

Dude a bunch of guys on your team gained weight

It sounds like a Philips electric toothbrush Honestly I think this bullshit all started with the P4

Similar story, but I chipped it off the glass into his face (he had a cage on) He quickly learned my backhand is nowhere near as good as my forehand and comes back to support me when I'm being pressured to go backhand

Sounds like it's just a regular old knee block with a term thrown on it to distinguish it? Kind of like how "CoverEdge+" on Warrior basically means they made the gear thicker lol

You know it’s funny, I’m turning 37 this year... I remember when I was asked to sub in 35+ when i was in my mid 20s - I remember thinking “I don’t wanna skate with these old fucks” so I made up some lame excuse I got asked a few years ago (early 30s) and it didn’t sound as bad so I played

Honestly, I hate to be one of those guys as my initial comment was a bit tongue in cheek, but I LOVE this car: I drive a lot for work. Anywhere from 600-800mi/week. I got my Tesla in April 2020, it's already at 24k miles My electric bill has gone maybe $100-150/mo. I'm always topped off after an overnight charge On the flip side, gas here in SoCal is around $4.00/gal - I'd be paying around $50-60 to top off each time, and would probably need to pump twice/week. Figure a sedan with a 15 gallon tank gets 35 mi/gal = 525 mi to empty My company gives me a vehicle allowance plus mileage reimbursement. Even after factoring in my monthly payment, insurance, and charging costs, I am still making a couple hundred bucks a month off driving this thing around. I'm not saying it's the perfect car for everyone, but it's a stellar fucking car for me, working as an outside sales rep: The trunk fits my gear bag easy, pads and sticks have to go in the backseat though (with two childseats installed). There's additional storage space under the trunk or under the front hood for PPE when I need to visit a construction site Autopilot on freeways allows me to run conference/customer calls during an hour+ long commute each way. Autopilot keeps you in your current lane at the speed you set, or it will match the speed of the car in front of you - it's like a smarter cruise control Nav, GPS, places of interest and rerouting is all built in I can park for some lunch, stream an episode of New Girl (currently on my 4th run through, Schmidt is my spirit animal) or whatever else I'm watching on Netflix for 30 mins and then move on to my next sales call Spotify streaming is built in, so I can listen to whatever I (or my kids) want - my son is hot on the Transformers 1986 movie soundtrack right now, my daughter is hooked on the music from Mulan - I'll never have to buy another CD ever again DashCam/security is all built in, just plug in and format a USB hard drive. No more driving to the dealership for service and having them try to sell me weird shit. I only have to rotate my tires every 5k miles, and they come to my house to do it for $40. I've forgotten to charge overnight once, and was able to stop by a charging station and get enough juice for the day with a 10 minute charge Another time I drove over a single charge capacity (280+ mi), topped off in 30 mins while watching some Netflix in the car while enjoying some barbecue from a nearby restaurant

Boys and girls, Kick @ArdeFIN some recognition here, he's carried this thread to the finish line - upvote his posts if you can.

:laughs in smug Tesla owner:

Cherry picking comments here, but the 960 shape has been around for over 30 years? RE: "most copied product in hockey" - IMO the original Vaughn Velocity 1 earns this one. It seems like everyone had a copy out within a year of that pad release... from the obvious (Battram), to fringe companies (Sherwood, Torspo, D&R, Hespeler...list goes on). The bigger manufacturers would follow after - Itech (9.8?), Bauer (X90?), CCM (Eflex1)

What metric(s) are we using to rank these brands? Pro adoption? Retail sales? Innovating on a "big ticket" ideas that other companies have adopted? Below are the big ticket ideas of each, I probably missed a few, maybe others can help me flesh it out. Bauer - +: CORTech, cowlingless skates, composite sticks, Poron XRD, CURV composite, Innegra mask inner layer True - +: Custom skate process Warrior - +: Ritual line, C/A arms (robo arms) Brian's - Optislide, smart strapping CCM - D30, menu-driven custom program Vaughn - Carbon fiber inserts, Scrivens strap Since a few folks brought up acquisitions, these are the ones I can think of - Bauer - Itech, who bought Jerry Wright's designs. The 960 is 30+ years old. Does this still count as "innovation" at this point True - Lefevre. 3 out of their 4 lines are legacy products from their time with CCM. Bought VH for their custom skates Warrior - Innovative(?) for their stick technology. Contracted/brought in Pete Smith to start the Ritual line (Messiah was a total disaster IIRC CCM - if we really wanna go back, acquisitions of Heaton/Koho/Jofa/Canadien/Titan Vaughn - Graf, Eagle, Tackla, Brian's. Partnership with Pro's Choice

I'm guessing they probably switched some people around. Not sure if these guys are actually starting or not as I haven't really been following Bernier - Detroit Edmonton - Smith Nashville - Rinne Florida - Bobrovsky is partially in True

31 * .41 = 12.71 So we gotta find 12 goalies and almost 3/4 of one

I think it’s from the True IG feed and has been making its way around all social media outlets.
