  1. New, size large. Asking 40$ CAD plus shipping from Gatineau Quebec.
  2. Is Dave Art the only approved or used mask painter in the league? You rarely see or hear of any other.
  3. I dropped 120$ in there, spread over 5 different ones and it's been up and down a couple bucks for 2 weeks now. I'm trying to grasp how it all works, when to buy, when to sell, what to buy. I'm aware that Bitcoin/Ether/Dodgecoin are the major ones but to even dip into the real action, you'd have to drop at least a grand in each and I'm not ready to go there yet. I'll be happy if I can double or tripple my money in 3-6 months. Then we'll see what I can do better.
  4. I thought the AB Pro was a next generation of the P1. My Reebok TGC P1 looks pretty much the same.
  5. Don't fall asleep near a chicken fence on a sunny day
  6. Remember when you had the Itechs and you could tell the difference just with the side walls? Ah Bauer you , tisk tisk.
  7. Don't stress about it. I still hope the mask is in great condition for you. In retrospect, I've yet to see a used 961 sold for less than 400$ US and that was with chin or sidewall chips. Like @SaveByRichter35 said, you gotta drill the seller. It's good to do the homework before you engage in the transaction. Masks are a really touchy market with lots of misleading info and many outside company reproductions.
  8. So you didn't exactly get a 960. For the price you paid, either model, if no cracks or such, you got a great deal. I'm guessing a 950 is good enough, unless you're going for EBUG in the NHL/AHL/ECHL
  9. Milk creates phlegm and inflammation in the gut. Parsley and sesame seeds have more calcium than milk and won't create calcium deposits between the joints that can feel like crystals creating painful friction and eventually damage. The plant based calcium is better assimilated by the body. "Food is thy medicine, medicine is thy food"
  10. I'm left to right on all the gear. Always been. Found out a while back that Huet had the same habit
  11. Wrong thread but no biggie. Enjoy your new gear. I hope you're a HABS fan and that jersey you're standing on is a Leafs one
  12. I hear you on that. My pro aspirations have long been diluted, my EBUG aspirations are dwindling as well. Right now I'm just happy to still play at my age. My number is 60, then I'm moving on to trail running full time. At one point I actually thought of getting back into road racing with the masters, but then I thought differently and that's now on pause. I might eventually do a Grand Fundo for fun one day and test my limits. I agree, an over-abundance of calcium can have the opposite effect and create more damage.
  13. That word. That one goal that starts the uh oh crap and no matter how much shit or pep talk you give yourself, you're shook. It's hard to reset sometimes.
  14. @estogoalie Erik, want a reality check? I'm 52 and still pushing hard but realise that I'm not what I was before this damn covid shit. Played this summer in a league with mediocre hot headed, egocentric, hot dogging players and my game was crap because of it. I played an hour and a half Friday night with a bunch of ex juniors and seniors and held my own fairly well. Saturday night, played an hour with a bunch of mid level guys and my game was off. But then, a young guy asks me to join his group that followed after for a cancelled goalie. I accepted despite having no juice left. Might as well take advantage of free ice time I told myself. These guys were all some junior A/B kids, and it was some 3 on 3 full ice shit. Suffice to say I got my ass handed to me on several occasions. That sent a hard message to me. I'm not young anymore. My reflexes are not what they were. My recuperation time is less than adequate for 3 games in 2 nights. You had the great opportunity of playing at a high level for a long time and I commend you for it. I wish I could of had such an opportunity. If you do step down from competition, just focus on the fun of playing with no expectations from anyone...except your own. We will always be wanting more from ourselves when we know what we once were capable of doing in a game, once upon a time
  15. Maybe they hit a wall, or maybe they listened to the users and applied the changes, or maybe they are of the mentality now of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it".
  16. I find that for myself, as a competitive minded ageing beer leaguer, you self-analyse a lot "should of this or that", "why did I cheat instead of just staying with the puck carrier", "why didn't I hustle, battle for space or positioning or puck control", "why did I hesitate so much on playing the puck on the dump or missed pass". It takes a lot to let go. Much easier during pick up than in a real game where numbers and goals count. Even harder to accept when you are a coach as well. Reminds me of a quote from a coaching friend that you can use should one of your students catch a glimpse of your bad goal: "do as I say, not as I do"
  17. Aside from Matt Hills first impressions at Hockeyreviews, anyone here have game experience with this unit?
  18. Looking at the CHL tournament in Europe on Youtube, there are a few Warrior goalies. The brand is a clear sponsor of many teams and the tournament itself.
  19. I'm surprised I haven't seen any logo-less Warrior gear in the Worlds, be it Juniors, Men's or Women's. Bauer has always had a stronghold during those competitions.
  20. I know some of you are exploring this venue or at least considering it. I started, be it very small, just a month ago. It's confusing as hell but I'm trying. No big bucks in the books yet but time will tell as I increase my knowledge and investments. My go to platform/app is crypto.com Anyone else in the game? Care to share your experiences, downfall and success, lessons learned, tips and suggestions, etc? Any form of income is good in these times...providing it's legal and no one gets hurt, right?
  21. I went through the same nonsense from a previous job a couple years ago. I refused to participate based on the "voluntary" statement and I was shit on big time. Lost a days work without pay as punishment. Transparency is a lost art in the business world. "Say what you mean. Mean what you say".

    Well that brings some form of comfort to my ears. Do you wear the knee strap across or down?
