I know World of Warcraft when I see it

It looks like a flaming tire to me

Given the volume he's cranking out, I don't think he's painted a mask in years.

Not sure if anyone's noticed - but if you look closely, Price has regular red and red weave on his pads Personally not liking the blue logos against the red background, looks like a blurry mess. But I doubt he'll stick with red

1st question: You can cut off as much as you want. Most of the weight in your stick is going to come from the paddle and blade anyway. The balance point is not where the paddle meets the shaft. I personally don't think you should take more than 2-3 inches, and that to me is an aggressive trim. Longer shaft helps you get more power behind the puck when you shoot (basic physics principle of leverage) Shorter shaft helps you grab pucks close to/between your feet. Better control when stickhandling (hands are closer together) Your 2nd question: What ever you do, I'd recommend experimenting and practicing on an old stick before committing changes to a new one

Not exactly. The one on EF5 looks like the standard CCM inner wrap with an extra piece of elastic velcro at the top of the calf. The Lefevre FRS has a ribbed wrap that butts into a raised foam block integrated into the outer calf wrap to help get the calf wedge to seal to the ice. It doesn't look like the EF5 outer wrap has anything like that. I'd say the Axis system is a little closer as the back of the wedge is raised a bit to achieve a similar effect. This may also be the player's individual specs as opposed to the stock offering. It looks like he dumped the QuickMotion strap as well.

You projecting again on internet strangers because you can't get it up?

Let me reiterate the point I was trying to make, I should have been more clear: Your under 2 year old mask has more puck marks on it than my 13 year old one. I rotate it in and out amongst my 3 or 4 lids these days, but I used it 2-3 times a week between 2007 and 2015 in various levels of adult league. To me, it looks like you're tanking an uncommonly large quantity of shots with your head. A few things to unpack here as there are some variables between the two sample sets of data you are using to evaluate your two masks. IIRC (and I apologize if I'm wrong on this) you're under 21 years old and are playing travel hockey? I'm guessing in the last 5 years (rounding up, 3 in your Bauer and 2 in your OTNY), you've also aged up and/or moved into a higher skill tier. Pre COVID, were you practicing more or less per week? More ice times = more shots, so that is also a factor. If your progression was similar to mine, you are practicing more as you move up in age and skill brackets, so you're taking more shots from bigger/stronger/more skilled kids more often. Bottom line, you can't compare apples to apples here. @Puckstopper and @johncho made some good points about the adhesive potentially being harmful to the mask. Thanks.

I'm not on the warranty side of things, but I'd imagine a few things would be of pertinent interest: Who did the wrap? SkinFX is the only certified wrap artist, and that does not look like something he would do. I can't comment on any chemical interactions with the shell as that is not my department.* How long have you had the mask? Given the amount of puck marks on the vinyl, the helmet looks like it's put in a ton of work for you ** However, I do recall a conversation I had with Frank Cipra back in 2017 regarding Vinyl. For the younger folks on here, he was a very renown mask painter from the late 80s through early 2000s and did a large portion of the Itech masks in the NHL. IIRC he said he would NEVER put vinyl on a mask for risk of things like this happening. RE Cages Otny makes 99% of the cages you see out there. I'm pretty sure the cages on 3 Pro's Choice masks are subbed out to Otny. Bent cages are a fact of life in our position - I don't understand the complaints. I've gone through maybe +/- 5 cages in my 22 years of playing net.

Just got them yesterday, haven't had a chance to use them yet. I've always recommended a knee bend as you want to mimic how the pads will sit in your stance. Lefevre customizer looks like it recommends the same.

User "hockeyplusmore" on eBay has some pro stock pants. Take a look.

I should have ordered a 32” instead of a 33”. The flat boot makes it fit like a traditional 34”. I also took the opportunity to gas all the leather straps. as for 20.2...I wish. I don’t have any connections for that

Do you want the serious answer?

Nothin my pea sized brain couldn’t handle

Fixed for you

That's funny, coming from a Warrior gear guy

Round 2

This was the banner on their home page... My Passau bag had two seams pop within the first month - one shoulder strap and the other on the center connecting strap

Imo go for the Pacific Rink bag, it’s better.

I got some pills for that
