Ok, but then it's kind of hard to discuss since he got cut from the team for political reasons

The German Ice Hockey Federation (DEB) are officially "cancelling" Greiss by cutting ties with him and not taking him to play in the upcoming IIHF world championships, due to his conservative political beliefs. Sorry could only find it in German, run it thru a translator: https://www.20min.ch/story/hitler-likes-trump-fan-deutschland-schmeisst-nhl-star-greiss-raus-413887629051 It didn't cite anything new or horrible, just that he likes Trump, compared Hillary to Hitler 4 years ago, and mentioned some posts and likes he made on Instagram (didn't say what exactly tho). Anyway, Greiss was just the NHL star of the week, and German hockey fans are left confused why their top goalie is being cut for speaking his mind. #FreeGreiss

Christ, sounds scary I'd be afraid to walk up a flight of stairs after that, much less even think about playing hockey again. I didn't really follow the whole thing, what was the reason he needed this surgery? Was it a birth defect or something he had his whole life? Or something that recently developed? ...like from all the heartache of playing for the Cup-less Rangers for so many years?

As a lifelong Rangers fan, I say he should just retire now and stay true-blue...and also maybe not have a heart attack and die.

I got a pair of G9035 a couple of years ago to replace my G50's, but despite the inside looking soft and cushy, the 9035 boot was much stiffer (ie: less flex) which kinda made me not like it. So I took my G50 boots and mounted them on a newer Graf cowling and put some Step Steel on them. I'm pretty happy with that setup. I've been wearing only Graf for 20 years or so. G50 boots were the best in my book. (750/Cobra were good too, the precurser for the G50) I still have the 9035 in reserve, maybe one day I'll try them again if my G50's start falling apart.

...or you mean the weight begins?

Does anyone have "Cuban's" 70's pic from GSBB? That was an epic fro.

Did they ever bring that technology to a jock-strap?

Holy crap. I never saw/noticed that. Crazy. The stick-blade curve is the wrong way then, it's like shooting back-handed. I loved his TPS gear back in the day

2020 only goes sideways.... ...and what's this "narrative" about Turco "shooting right"? A quick "fact check" has "debunked" your "conspiracy theory"...

I always understood what "Regular" and "Full Right" meant in goalie terms. But now that I think about it, why not just "Left" and "Right" like players? Makes more sense. Obviously you are going to shoot/catch on the same side (ie: right or left). Actually, I'll bet that in the next 5 years it gets changed. Not because it makes sense tho. But because in the touchy-feely world we now live in, "Regular" probably makes the "Full Right" people feel bad because it implies they are "irregular". Some loony-tune Liberal will probably read this post, call Soros, set up some some goalie "Human Rights" NGO, flood the NHL and goalie mfgrs with emails and calls demanding change against systemic degradation of the Full-Right community, the media will pick up on it, and people in black clothes and masks will start smashing and looting at Goalie Monkey, Vaughn and other goalie resources. Once all the goalie gear has been burned and looted, there will be no gear left for anyone, and since everyone knows goalies can't play in last years outdated goalie gear, we won't be able to play and will have to just sit home and cancel the season. Great, thanks alot you Full Right weirdos, now you ruined it for everyone.

Like what? An air pump so you can inflate it to your liking? I do give CCM credit for having the balls to this pad an "Eflex"

I don't know about you, but I'm never playing with a full deck of cards ...and got a few aces up my sleeve.

I'm surprised it's not the "BLM-ANTIFA-LGBTQ-BIOPC Arena" But no matter, rioters will burn it down within a year anyway, let's start taking bets now on what the next arena name will be..

...so that jersey and anchor+S screenshot from your phone is just a mashup someone made? They should make that the official logo, looks cool blended together like that. Should be a 3rd jersey at minimum.

...wait...the anchor and S combined in the tattoo is not an official logo? They are two separate logos? I'm confused.

Perfect! He's probably got the plumbers-crack to back it up too, LOL Nice! Not many NHL teams have a logo that translated into a tattoo nicely, but this works out great. I guess that requirement was high on the list for a Seattle team Tattoos, crack jokes (drug and butt-crack), climate-friendly arena...it's all falling into place...

Mascot: Phil Mc Kraken

Yea, how does that tie into Pacific coast Seattle?

...and don't forget to park in the handicap places while the handicap people make handicap faces ...and then the fans are Krak-heads?

A big "S" on a teal jersey is the best they could come up with? Nah, ain't doin' it for me. Doesn't matter tho, their arena will probably be torched and looted before they even get on the ice.

...and nobody at their games "wins" or "loses" ...everybody gets participation trophies

I beg to differ, your superlative conjecture of indignity has no substratum of reason.

"Gay" is a "slur"? So "LGBT" has a slur in their name?

The "hockey community" sends you a card
