I may have a spare CCM AB18. It's on loan out right now to another goalie I skate with. How tall are you?

I got flashbacks to 1998 trying to download pictures from sleazy chatrooms on AOL over a 28.8Kbps modem

Was quoted 20 weeks for pants back in May with Vaughn

Snagged it up on Sideline within hours of it posting. I'm currently something advertised as a Varlamov return with -1 arms. Not 100% sure of the size as the tag is missing. Could be a Fit 2 or Fit 3. Haven't been skating recently due to hip issues so I haven't really been nerding out over gear as much

Lundy's Vaughn was custom cut at the bottom to accommodate for the suspender attachments at the belt

These came out before Eflex (600) and 580 break was kinda buried for a while. Definitely a 590 break

I'm invisible you can't see me

Me too! Fit 1

Why are all these images flipped horizontally? Serious note, how is Grant Fuhr not on this list

90 90s are great if you're advanced, but if your butterfly looks like it does in those pics you are probably compensating a lot in your spine. I've been practicing FRC for the last 8 months and I'm not even close to a seated 90/90 yet. The whole juice of the routine is in the PAILS/RAILS stuff, so if you're stretching without that push/pull you're missing out on a lot of possible improvement. You want to isolate a specific joint/muscle group and get it to work to create change in both your physical and neurological systems. If other areas are doing work simultaneously you won't get the maximal benefit

IMO (I am not a PT, athletic trainer, or a Doctor) and I apologize for derailing the main content of the thread You are going to hit a point where your gains from simply stretching will cap out, and probably very early in the process as well. What you are actually looking for is not flexibility, but end range strength. Basically, flexibility in the athletic trainer world does not mean much. You need to be training for mobility (mobility = flexibility + strength), which means not just being able to get to an end range but having the strength to get there and back to neutral in a controlled manner. For butterfly specifically, you need to train hip internal rotation, which means strengthening your hip flexor, abductors, glute med and the surrounding musculature. These are the push/pull groups that help you push and hold your ankles out in the butterfly. Look up some FRC (Functional Range Conditioning) stuff. Definitely stay away from the 90 90 stretch, she covers it here. Start with a Hip CARs routine (easily searched), do these, and close with another set of CARs. If you feel like you've capped your gains after doing this stuff for a while you may want to see a PRI (Postural Restoration Institute) trained PT as you may have underlying compensations that are limiting your capability

I guess being a defunct stick brand limits your social ability

Goalies may be weird but you full right guys are even weirder

Here's one on SLS with some additional pictures https://sidelineswap.com/gear/hockey/goalie/goalie-chest-arm-protectors/6578697-brian-s-brian-s-optik-3-arm-and-chest-protector

Heck yes

How about a "Funny things in the back of gear photos" thread

Love your Crocs

No, but my level 70 Blood Elf Rogue in World of Warcraft is in the top 3% of Outlaw Roges worldwide (rank 546/22,749)

I was scrolling through this thread, the emojis caught my eye and I almost deleted this post

I'm kind of in the same boat with PPF on my Trues. Found I'm slightly overturning my pivots from my knees. Ended up taking off the PPF on calf and am debating removing it at the knees too

It's funny how things come full circle. Coaching in the late 90s went from "meet the shot on your feet" to "slide and make it hit you" and now we're back to "meet the shot on your feet"

Is it weird that I want my pads to slide less these days

They called me every other day for a month trying to get me back in. Also got postcards/letters/other material from them in the mail weekly. Car I have now has 5G/Spotify built in so I'm well away from them
