Points for using the term "clowned". 

You never really see butt head goalies. We're all usually pretty cool.

Bruno Benoit from RDS said those pants were the most dangerous piece of equipment he's ever played in/with. "If you fall on a rush or back check, you'll slide right into the boards a 100mph".

Maybe like 100 KPH. 

100 MPH seems a little extreme.

Looks like melted blue ice.

Always thought he was interesting in that he used his Flyers colored sticks for a while after he joined the Kings. He had all new gear and a mask painted - but kept using his Flyers sticks. Of all the gear you can change easily, sticks are the easiest.

Obviously he didn't GAF.

He was traded in mid-May 2003. Wasn't like it was trade deadline move. He did eventually move to silver lettered twigs...

They keep using a picture of him while with the Kings. His mask had three layers of foam at the forehead. Wow!

Also he was king of throat guards...

Saw that his son found him in his bathtub dead.

Greatest Flyers goalie ever - stat wise.

Sad.

I just sent the Carolina Hurricanes an email correcting the fact that they said the Whalers wore Cooperalls. They wore CCMs.

Why? Bothers me to see the Hurricanes use and abuse the Whalers stuff. You steal their team then parade around in their gear? Annoying.

Marc Andre Fleury still play with a foam core or did he join the revolution? My Hyperlite 2 stick pretty much got me out of foam cores. 

Says he still is. True was making him one rather than go through Heritage like the other guys did. He might be the only one left. Think it was Brian Elliot  and Buffalo Sabres goalie Dustin Tokarski in 2021.

Speak for yourself, Fullright... I get a solid 30 seconds of warmups before a game. 20 shots:

• 15 miss the net,
• 2 are when I'm not looking,
• one slo mo breakaway,
• one off the mask
• and the one timer pass shot from a defenseman.

Ready to go!

Imagine while taking that picture someone walks in and see you.

What are you doing with your pants pulled down taking a picture of yourself?

It's for the internet, don't worry.

Is it OK if the action picture is from 1995?

That was my favorite set prior the profly box pads :

Ferland Victory pads
Koho Revolution gloves
CCM Supra pants
Brian's C/A with lots of modifications
Cooper kneepads
Bauer skates
Protechsport original mask with Hextal paintjob.

Koho twig too? Looks like a revolution one too. Nice setup.

I'm still using my Canadian made Gatekeepers. They are tanks and held up great. Canadian made gear was amazing...

Recieved my reason today. They do not have a process to extend a tourist visa for unpayed hockey players from outside of the EU. As of today I have 2 weeks to leave Sweden or 4 if I choose to appeal my case. Time to start packing and searching for teams to play for. 

2 weeks to get hitched to a pretty looking Swedish lady...

My application to live in Sweden has been rejected meaning I have to return to the US within 3 weeks. I had no backup plan for this season. 

Sorry buddy. Amazing that they can just reject you. It seems like anyone can live in the US. Guess we're not the meanies that we're portrayed to be.

Hopefully Lundquist wears the team shells. He'll look good as usual.

Better than when Messier wore his Cascade helmet... woof!

And the garage once again gets more cluttered. Doesn't help that I'm still in the midst of packing up my hunting gear. 

 

Preaching to the choir. 

Wait, I see space on the shelves still... what is that? a floor? Good hoarders don't let others see their floor.

Suspension list = owes money to rink or league

Looks like a Minecraft version of CCM gear.

You know you're local when you shop at a Heritage's. I'm there daily anymore.

Quebec is to the French language as Philly is to the English language?

Now I see it! But I don't think Hayward had these pads for a long period of time.

Need the 15" Kenesky pads...

That's a nice looking buck.

The mistake would be not buying it.

Take it to car shows. People are craving seeing these again.
