MTH

Dallas is tough. Turco was a stud there. Eddie had a great run. But for me - because of my age - Andy Moog is it. Only because he was their first goalie of name there. Plus his gear was SICK!!!

Flyers has to be Parent.

Roy is iconic for two teams. That's pretty awesome.

DS had a few lines of gear they only had. I recall a bunch of the Koho stuff there.

I have a feeling it's still in use 

I can only hope...

Someday I'll be 61.

Maybe.

He did a detour in Philly too

One of now rare 'new team - old gear' goalies..

I turned 47 yesterday. Crappy birthday this year. But I did get tickets to a concert in June from my GF to a Teskey Brothers show.

Congrats  !

On the light side note - it looks he didn´t have Passmore blocker, otherwise every puck would boom to the corner!

Truth. Bunny had it when he passed. I wonder where it is now.

Maybe Doug was buried with it?

My son is a D man. His freshman tryouts for varsity HS hockey he took a puck off his ear plate of his helmet. Split his ear still, had to get stitched up at 11 pm at local hospital. But he made the team. Worth it? Sure.

See? Kids snuff Warrior lol. 

High School goalie playing against my son last night was full Warrior.

I presume his parents picked it all out for him.

Terrible. Outer elbow? Jesus no meat there either.

Plus, how often do you see kids snuff Warrior gear solely because there's no NHL presence? 

I'm curious how many youth goalies even watch the NHL or have an idea who wears what. Current gear is so bland and guys change their gear almost monthly.

Company wise - pro goalies in your gear or kids across the globe using your gear?

What's a bigger deal?

we’re all assuming one thing - but what’s really going on is that she’s insisting you join her in her gym workout and training runs, right?

I spent my teens, 20s and 30s wishing for workouts like these.

Now? I need naps and some oatmeal.

I know the NHL was looking at a one helmet uniform similar to the NFL.

The Flyers Pens outdoor game a few years ago was them fooling with the idea.

Just got done playing five nights in a row. Haven’t done that in a while. I slept pretty soundly last night. 

I'm almost 47. I've been dating someone a few years younger than me for the past few months. This is me everyday. I feel more worn out than ever. Add in hockey... 

Do the Sharks wear teal helmets? Looks like one on the shelf behind him. That's cool.

Teal stick and helmet if it were me.

That's a great picture of the body pads with the red locker.

Welcome back.

Hank lookin good!

Always, homie, always.

Superstars sometimes just do things and see things on a whole other level. Why some of the guys who are hanging on are the best coaches as they lacked the gift and made up with hard work and discipline. 

Baseball catchers seem to be really good coaches in pro baseball too. Not sure if there's a best position for coaches to have played in their day. Goalie seems like a bad fit as a head coach as they ignore the Xs and Os of offense and defense. 

But you can have a good staff and use them for that. Head coaches have to manage their assistants too.

Yee haw! Does look like Kermit!

Hey guys 

 

wondering if any of you had experience with broken thumb ? I had a cast for 4 week. They remove it last week and give me some exercise to do but it’s still impossible to put my glove on 

I start to go crazy to not go at the rink.

if you had this experience after how much time you was able to go back ? 

I had thumb issues playing baseball in college. I caught, so it was tough to not use your damaged thumb. I used a slide on cast device to help me get through it. I couldn't stop playing as I'd lose my spot. 

Squeeze drills helped with flexibility. I'm sure you're doing them already. Stress balls then graduate up to flat tennis balls. From there you can use new ones or get those grip strength things. I know the rock climbers use them. They have a spot for every finger.

Or, just rehab playing video games. It's "rehab", not goofing off.

WTF Chile? Do tell this tale of snapping a finger clean off...

Generally we put our hands in and do a open/close motion. 

Funny. Half of the gloves were nearly impossible to do that with. And I'm decently strong these days.

I know pros get the pre broken in glove option. How they can put gloves out at retail that feel about as flexible as a 5 gallon bucket baffles me.
