Yeah, the customizer on my home PC isn't behaving (same issue, can only color in the gloves). Using Firefox. My work laptop seemed to handle it just fine, though.

Flexin' with the Airpods

Looks like there are a lot of similarities between the Axis and the Lefevre 20.1...bolded is my emphasis TLDR New calf wedge fills negative space in the shin, like the Lefevre FRS Flattened boot Bindingless perimeter https://www.goaliemonkey.com/new-items/ccm-goalie-leg-pads-axis-pro-sr.html

Tesla Model 3 Plenty of room in the trunk for my gear...

IIRC, there was a government mandated shutdown until April 13th in Canada. He probably caught up on a few orders during that time.

A lot of folks are doing this to help recoup the purchase price.

Based on how skinny the arms look, I'd guess this follows the new NHL spec. Interesting that they got rid of the crease at the center of the elbow floater. I don't think I've ever taken a bad one there.

Would you mind taking measurements on the front of the pad, running the tape measure along the surface? From the center of the knee section up to the top binding. I have found any kind of pre-curved pad can skew the measurement an inch or two. The Warriors are a bit tougher to measure for sizing as the knee block and padded leg channel make it hard to get a true measurement unless you're going off the face of the pad. Really, this is more indulging my curiosity as my friends group has found that Warriors fit really weird (paging @ZeroGravitas - he wears a 33+1.5 CCM and a 35+2? Warrior). This is how I sized pads back in 2006 working retail. I'm not saying this is the correct way, but we rarely got returns because we screwed up sizing. I would get an ankle to knee measurement (after offering up a prayer that people on the other side of the line measured correctly), then run to the floor and measure a couple pads from the mid knee down to the boot break. Then we'd talk thigh rise. Total "top of pad" runs from the center of the middle knee roll straight up. Vaughns traditionally had the shortest stock thigh rise, Koho had the largest. We'd get occasional calls from guys in Sweden wanting to order TPS pads with a + 4 thigh rise because they all loved Henrik Lundqvist. According to their sizing charts, +0 on a 35" Warrior is 8.5" and a +0 on a 35" CCM is 11". Both companies claim to measure from above the knee. We can start there...

I'd guess you are seeing offshore-manufactured samples/prototypes. Maybe SLR-X was an actual thing at one point, or will be next year when the line is due for an update (Velocity was updated this year).

I thought the SLR-X was their April Fool's line...

Same here. I think the toe cap in this instance is a freak occurrence, but I've seen too many durability issues with the carbon in the holder to ever plunk down money on a one piece. Once my current 2pc Trues die out, I will probably go with a custom Bauer.

Just the lighting. They were used once a week for 2 or 3 months

Putting these up for sale as I'd like to use them to fund a set of Lefevres or something else. Asking $800 US, for TGN members I'll include shipping in the continental US. Canadian buyers, please add $50 as it's gotten really expensive to get stuff up north. Set was pretty gently used and always aired out for 3-4 months, 2 skates a week. Spec sheet here: Specs

This is pretty much it. Most guys struggling with this probably have their gloves like this: When we should have the gloves out front like this:

Haven’t seen the G5 in person yet, but based on the gifs I’d guess it’s more like the Lefevre/Reebok/CCM one piece gloves. The cuff is thinner at the heel and gets thicker as it moves towards the thumb side

I love my gear thicc

Right??? Good goalies hit 90%+ save percentage and the butterfly figures into a high percentage of their save selection. Therefore, the butterfly is too effective and should be banned.

Based on your posts, it seems as if you are assuming RVH is the best option when the puck is behind the net. It is not. It is the best option on tight jamming plays on the bad angle. When the puckcarrier went behind the net, I was always taught to: Find center net Widen out my feet towards each post Attach to post depending on puck position and threat level, get stick involved at this point; the trapezoid now is actually a pretty good guideline to help with this now. Breaking down the play you posted... Goal scorer receives puck behind the net. Goalie loses sight of puck, flops to knees in the middle of the net, giving the option of either side to try a wrap Goal scorer catches this and decides to pick it up and go for it If the goalie stood on his feet... Goalie would have gotten to his post a lot faster. Gives D more time to recalibrate their positioning. Shooter would not have even tried for the lax goal, seeing an upper body covering 3 foot 11 inches of net. Of course, hindsight is 50/50. Talking about expectation - that is a dangerous line for any aspiring competitive athlete, particularly in our position. Breakdowns are inevitable, and that is why we exist. Looking back really quickly on big save moments in the Cup Finals - I don't think Holtby had any expectation when he made that paddle save against Vegas in 2018. Same thing with Fleury getting his shoulder on Lidstrom trying to crack home that shot from the slot in 2015. So let's get back to this discussion on a broadly strategic level. We are trained not to make the first move, ever - and the shooter is not in a position to shoot when he is behind the net. That eliminates his options to either a wrap or pass. Understanding what options are available will help the goalie make a better decision. Goalie should get stickblade involved to eliminate the most dangerous play (cross-crease pass). With experience, the goalie will be able to read intention off the player by looking at: stick blade (handedness, angle to net), body language (player's head, shoulders, hips, skates - what direction are they pointing?). All of this data gets processed pretty quickly and the goalie will move to the highest percentage option. Here's a compilation of all 3 Michigan goals this year in the NHL. They played it the same, and incorrectly. Michigans! IMO how it should be handled: Example 1 Another goal video, but read the coaching breakdown

I've said it before in another thread and will say it again here. There is no literally zero reason for any goalie to be on his knees with the puck behind the net. The only reason why this move has gained so much traction recently is because players are adapting to goalies cheating into the RVH too early.

Very interesting for sure. Looks like they extended the heart guard/chest plate all the way down to the belly button

No, they were white and navy Premier 1s.

I'm guessing you guys are talking about the white binding that runs between the vertical roll and calf wing on Price's pads, pictured below. I was told in the past that NHL gear regulations require there to be a defined gap between these two pieces, which is why it is only available at the pro level. From the official rulebook (http://www.nhl.com/nhl/en/v3/ext/rules/2018-2019-NHL-rulebook.pdf), bolded emphasis is mine: "Calf-wing protectors can no longer be attached to the five-hole or the five-hole seam. Calf-wings must be inset one-half inch (1/2'') from the inside five-hole, creating a distinct edge, and attached to the back cover. Calf-wing protectors must be one piece and cannot include wedges (removable or non-removable). Calf-wing protectors may be flat for five and one-half inches (51/2'') before contouring to the shape of the leg. Calf-wing protectors must contour and cannot be visible to the shooter when strapped to the goalkeeper’s leg. Calf-wing protectors may not exceed one inch (1”) in thickness. Calf-wing protector straps must run through or wrap around so the calf protector follows the contour of the goalkeeper’s leg even if the straps are worn loosely. No zippers, Velcro, or Velcro attachments are allowed. "

Back in the mid-2000s, I bought a pair of RBK Premier 1 gloves off Nick Boucher on GSBB. I forget what team he was playing for at the time, but the gloves were awesome. Far and away the best 580 break glove I have worn - and those who have been around gear long enough know that as far as feel on gloves go, there are differences between gloves even in the same model year depending on how it is built/bound/strung together.
