  1. Like many others, I was a big fan of the Reebok P3's graphics. Carey Price's Vaughns were rad, too.
  2. As I understand it, the subscription is just the app/access to the app, drills etc. You'll have to purchase the VR headset separately. It looks like the subscription includes 4 user accounts, so maybe you could split the cost of the subscription with 3 other goalies? They would need their own headsets and goalie sleeve mounts though.
  3. Where are you located? I have some Ultrasonics in size S - approximately 33". They're in great shape except for some wear on the boot - pics below.
  4. PureGoalie is having a Black November sale. Take 25% off clearance with promo code BLKNV25. CCM EF5 Pro Custom 34+1 Full set (customer?) returns (never used?) at $1,427.98 after promo code, but before tax and shipping.
  5. Thanks for doing this. Lotta stuff came up at my work so I haven't been able to update this thread for Black Friday... GoalieMonkey US is having a "Grey November" sale. Take 20% off clearance items with promo code GRYNOV20. Some things that jumped out at me: Warrior R1 Pro goalie mask at $511.98 after promo code, but before tax and shipping. Warrior GT2 Pro SR leg pads at $519.98 after promo code, but before tax and shipping. Warrior X3 Pro+ chest protector (S and M only) at $319.98 after promo code, but before tax and shipping. Graf Pro G SR goalie skates (8.0 and 9.6 only) at $519.98 after promo code, but before tax and shipping. Vaughn V9 Pro Carbon SR goalie pants (Small only) at $246.38 after promo code, but before tax and shipping. Note that Warrior G6 is in the clearance section, but the promo code doesn't seem to apply.
  6. Pretty much all retail pants are not NHL-spec. The closest to spec might be Vaughn or Brian's. There are the rules from the NHL 2022 rulebook - it's more than just 9 inch width.
  7. Graf/Vaughn rep came out to our store a week or two ago to show us SLR4 and some Graf player stuff. No change to the goalie skates for 2024. If you still want Peakspeeds, you should be able to get them. As for the steel, unlikely. Not a lot of Graf skates being sold now, let alone Graf goalie.
  8. The joke has been made before, but the first thing I thought when I saw this was, "Wow, Warrior made it back to the NHL and on a Habs goalie, too!"
  9. Pulse TI steel is also an option - https://www.goaliemonkey.com/accessories/skate-accessories/goalie-skate-runners/bauer-goalie-accessories-pulse-ti-replacement-runner-pair.html
  10. An e-mail I have from 2020 says "28 foot rocker", but that was before the ShiftMax holder and steel came out - not sure if that is different or not...
  11. The thing that amazes me most about that clip with Bedard is how fast Fleury can drop his leg and bring it back up. Literally does it in a blink. And he does it twice.
  12. Again, it's just a model number. I Google'd Levi's pants fit to take a look and the conversation would be the same. 510 is a skinny fit. 511 is slim, but not as skinny as 510. 513 is roomier than 511. OK, so increasing the number means roomier and decreasing the number means skinnier. But wait, 501, 505 and 508s are roomier than all of the above! How the heck would an uneducated customer be able to tell anything about the fit/feel of these pants without doing their homework or having someone tell them?! I think some of this is because of the 90 in 590 that throws people off. But I think 580/590/600 is a pretty decent way to quickly describe the feel of a glove. What else would we use? "Premier" for 590-style? We used to be able to use "Eflex" for 600 (but the new EF6 will make it difficult because it's not a 600) to describe gloves too, but that wouldn't really give you a similar way to describe a 580. tl;dr: what better way do we have of describing gloves?
  13. I don't quite get what you mean re: 580 and 579. It's just a model number. As I understand it, this break angle was originated and/or popularized by the model - the Koho 580. And the 590 break originated with the Koho 590. I don't know why they were named that, except that each new retail release for Koho was an incremental increase over the previous ones (Koho 550, 560, 570, 580, 590, then RBK Premier 1, etc) - presumably easier for people to differentiate between models, and maybe internally to differentiate between builds. These particular gloves (580, 590, 600) have been so popular/ubiquitous that people refer to gloves in terms of how they feel in closeness to those models. I believe the 600 style break that originated with the EFlex 1 is called the 600 because it's the newest Lefevre glove model after the 590 (590 + an increment of 10). RBK Premier 1, 2, Reebok Premier 3, Revoke, XLT, 4, CCM Premier 1 and 2 were all off-the-shelf 590s. I'm not into denim, but the Levi's 511 fit different from the Levi's 514, which is different from the 510 or the 501. Same difference here.
  14. Wonder why the name change if the gear specs aren't changing much. Maybe following the player gear? At least CCM isn't afraid of having different names for goalie and player (Axis and EFlex vs Tacks and Jetspeed).
  15. Thank you! Maybe I'll do a HL2 review one of these days.... I referenced my old set to see where the wear developed and placed some 3M film over the same spots. I used this same film on the sliding surface on my Mach set and it worked very well for sliding. Never tried the Vivid stuff.
  16. I've had this on pretty much every pad I've owned. I threw some 3M paint protector film on my newest set of Hyperlite 2s and see no wear there over 20-30 skates? I used very small pieces - about the width of my pinky and maybe just as long to cover the parts that are most likely to wear.
  17. Have you tried Facebook Messenger, too (https://www.facebook.com/jfaumaismaskwraps) There's an e-mail address listed on the FB page too.
  18. Should be right between $700 and $800 USD
  19. Call Pro Skate and see what they can do - maybe they can give you another one off the shelf and handle the warranty themselves. Otherwise, you'll have to deal with CCM directly - https://ca.ccmhockey.com/otherwarranty.html
  20. someone deepfake/AI whatever it so that they're kissing please
  21. I've had US, HL1, Mach, and now I'm on HL2. My favorite of the bunch was the US. Stock, off-the-shelf HL1 and HL2 are pretty soft pads by Bauer's standards. Springy knee break and soft boot. Mach is much stiffer by comparison and I wouldn't recommend it. For me, the US stiffness was just right. Sounds like you've been playing a long time - how much butterfly have you incorporated into your game? Are you looking for better ice seal, stability in the 'fly, big rebounds off the pad? If so, then Bauer sounds as if it could be a good match for you. In terms of innovation... it depends on what you're looking for. I wouldn't say there's $400-500 worth of changes going from HL1 to HL2. Relatively minor things, IMO - calf bracket, grip knee, different calf pillow/landing plate, different skin. In terms of quality... it's pretty similar across these pads. Not as nice as a the domestic-made True or Brian's, but the performance is outstanding.
  22. Where are you located and what size/FTK are you? I have some used Ultrasonics (Sz Small, approx 33" inch pad) set that I'm looking to move for not much more than the cost of shipping. Maybe $200 shipped if you're in the continental US?
