  1. New, to me, scored an authentic Rocket de Laval goalie cut practice jersey, fight strap and all. Might be a tight fit on my Bauer 2S but I'll see when I get a chance to wear it. Kinda weird to buy gear while you're injured but hey, I gotta keep the flame alive right
  2. One less giant in the show for next season. He's 45. Wonder if he'll go join Jagr for part two of his pro career?
  3. If any of you know him, I just read on Facebook that he passed away on September 18th from a massive heart attack. It's a sad and unfortunate end for him and his family and friends. He was a kind person with an extensive background in hockey from the minors up to the pros. He's worked for NHL teams and was an adviser for many a brand in the industry. Rest well brother
  4. Other than a peek at the Vaughn V10 and the CCM Eflex6, I didn't catch anything else not released. The launch of the Warrior G6 and Brian's Optik4 and Mckenney's XPG2, nothing else happening.
  5. I know!! My car cost me less than the average road bike out there. If you want anything remotely reliable and performing, you gotta splurge. The one I'm aiming at right now (Argon18) is 3 000$. My dream bike is a Celeste Carbon Bianchi, well over 5 000$. Wait...the LHNA is still a thing? Have they added more teams to their already massive 4? lolll @Wonder35 How dare you live such a glorious and lavish retirement!!!! Happy for you man
  6. I guess so. Clean and simple.
  7. This one kind of makes sense even though it's quite apart. They kind of line up. Go GT2! The other one, as with the G6 seem off angle.
  8. I'm not OCD by any means but I have to say that I'm annoyed by the offset graphic between the face and the sidewall of the blocker. It's just me.
  9. I was thinking the exact same thing this weekend. I was wondering if everybody was just overbooked with games or something. It is too quiet and I'm getting tired of just seeing action in the Konect thread only to be honest. I miss bunny too. We obviously had a cycling connection with my years of road racing. Grind those pedals brother, big gears...RIP
  10. Honestly Steve, with the new line-ups, I don't see Warrior mass producing anymore of the old accessories, unless they are of course compliant with the G6 line. Wishing you luck man.
  11. Has anyone has purchased and used the Rekker stick from Canadian Tire? Seems fair for a low end composite stick. Feedback?
  12. So does the 60 liner make it feel like a Bauer Vapor/9000 glove? As for the GT2 pads, that would mean that they aren't a true old school flex pad, just a tapered boot. They do feel a tad stiffer than my older Smith 1000s I once owned. We'll call the GT line hockey's crossover. Now that it's no longer in production (custom orders), everything falls onto the G6. Do they offer a tapered boot? Can't remember the options.
  13. Noooo, I will NOT give you that satisfaction!
  14. I myself can't get turned on by the CCMs shape either but I have to admit that the basket is far better looking than Bauer's. I don't mind a shallow basket but Bauer is an exaggeration, almost to the likes of a GM21 lolll.
  15. A beauty! Sorry about your struggle.
  16. I'm curious to see how the clasps will wear out the inside pad channel in the long run. There's bound to be some new wear and tear spots not seen from conventional skates. How's the toe splay in these things? I find my X170s rather narrow at the toe box.
  17. This would be a good video to work on cause even without the slide plates, for any brand pad, there is a time/situation to push hard and then one for a simple rotation and weight transfer, not to mention a simple pad shuffle. Leading with your stick and follow through with body control, glove/blocker activation...all important to help close up and take up space in your displacement. If I wasn't injured I would make a short video about it.
  18. I'M BORED from not being able to play (work injury). Post your Habs / Rockets / Lions themed set-up if you are a fan. Mine is simple since I couldn't go the custom route for the moment.
  19. Matt at Hockey Review apparently was going to order a 6.0 glove with a stitched in liner but there was a time production issue and he eventually opted for the standard removable one, so...FYI, it's a possible/available option if you ask or insist or whatever. The reverse if also possible for the 6.1 glove.
