If you keep it as an accent color it looks great.

I think you make Phoenix go back to their old style jerseys, Anaheim to their new-old thirds, LA back to purple-based jerseys, and this team either an emerald green of some kind or Seattle's signature navy/bright green. Add some memorability to the Pacific. Would boost jersey sales.

Doobiesnax right now

So VE8 pads have a penis. The VE9(?) has a mustache. What is Mike Vaughn trying to tell us?

I keep expecting the Pringles guy to appear behind that mustache in the middle of the pads.

Potential lawsuits for majors and fights? I'm not really too sure to be honest.We're non-USA Hockey, so i think it's a rule from the commissioner's insurance company.

Lucky! Due to legal reasons my league doesn't have video or photos. Even LiveBarn is blacked out during league games. It's such a bummer because I want to see what I look like in my gear during a game.

Neither is the way your gloves go on. Zing!

Looks like your photos got flipped. Ah, much better!

"What's the deal with airline food?"

No wonder the Eflex is taking in so many Vaughn goalies.

Ah, Kipper spec. Never had another glove quite like it. Depending on how you positioned your hand when tracking a shot it could be black hole for pucks, or it could be a second blocker. If I ordered this again today, I'd probably mod the back hand cuff to be a bit wider and more flexible. Maybe a double tee too. I feel like the XR V7 glove is like a fusion of parts of this glove and a CCM 600 break.

I think it's the camera angle mixed with a white stick against the navy weave. Looks around 25-26'' in the first picture.

Anyone know how to fix this? Or at least seal it? Had a guy run into me while on a breakaway.

So a bit of an update: PAW is going to construct me some custom knee blocks (doing the bump-style, like on a Reebok/CCM style pad), but is currently not doing installations. Is there a place that would be able to put them on my pads once they are complete? Can you post pics? My knee blocks had a way to get in there. All you need is tougher lace and a lighter to sew it back up if it has a tab.

I've had Sara fix a blocker and glove before, so I'll definitely see if that's an option Nah, but I guess he must have had a good experience, oddly enough. Good to know though. Thanks guys!

Awesome, thanks! One of my friends recommended Bay Area Hockey Repair too.

Any you guys recommend? PAW doesn't mod outside gear anymore it said on their site.

I was thinking of sending in my V7's to have the knee blocks changed. Anyone know if Vaughn does that? And would the wait time be like their custom orders?

Not to get all critical on this, but how did they reach this hypothesis? 580 glove break definitely closes in a different way than the other breaks. 600 and 590 do feel similar to me, though.

I'm 26 but have a grumpy disposition towards people my age and younger, does that count?

Trying the Genoni knob this week.

My IR sheet: -Groin pull in January 2009 -Groin pull in October 2010 -Groin pull in November 2010 [AKA RIP junior career] -Hamstring strain/lower back issues in June 2013 [due to malnutrition from a prolonged stomach virus of sorts] -Groin pull in July 2017 -Groin pull in August 2017 I've been battling tight hips for a while, and have never felt the same since 2013. I felt amazing for a while in 2012 and early 2013. I do a lot of standing at my job, and don't do the upkeep I should given my history. Lately I've had these weird, achy hips last two months. One side feels "burny" when I stretch it too much. Between that and the emptiness I feel when playing the last year and a quarter I've been in constant debate to hang up the pads. Feels like a chore sometimes, and yet I do it still. That and captaining a team is a pain in the ass.

Considering he was in Vaughn last year, it could be from his old pads. EDIT: Looks like these with the shell cut off

Any good detectives in the group? I need help identifying what brand and model of thigh protector this is. Assuming it's likely CCM seeing as that is the pad brand.
