Remember to bend at the knees also, not just the waist, it will help.

Maybe consider the following brands: Brown, PAW, FactoryMade. Soft landing foams with ample protection. Otherwise, some under knee pads pads as suggested.

Saw the Stars game recap. Those pants... In other NHL news, watched the Ducks game recap and Miller looked either hurt or discouraged or just done with. Maybe it's time to hang them up.

I've been out a season (almost 2) before because of an injury. Covid is not my fault and I can't do much about it. Things on the Gatineau Quebec side are still not open. On the Ottawa Ontario side, things are rolling hard with all the new rules, but most games are at night and the province of Quebec has a 9h30 curfew that I can't ignore. The fine is too salty to take the chance. I usually run as well, all season and the lack of playing hockey through winter has just about snuffed whatever is left of my athletic fire. Add on top of that being laid off a month ago. I wouldn't say I'm depressed but just tinkering with the gear and doing Maria's b-fly challenge and watching the Habs games is just not quite enough to fill that void I'm feeling. The mask and new rules and all that, it has me wondering how much can I actually enjoy the game because of that. I sip water every whistle, can't do that with a mask. Quebec winters, dressing outside, NOPE! Driving to the rink half suited up in a regular sedan, I barely feel comfortable with normal close with my 6'2 frame. I even wonder if the rules are over exaggerated. I hear you loud and clear on this one!

365 days and still haven't played yet

For f**k sakes, you're talking like you're my age (52)?! You got plenty of time to play. Stop your nonsense! Now go clean up your room

With no two humans built to an identical T, not even twins, nothing betters trying on the gear or offering the exact needed measures to help confirm the proper size. That is why when I buy jeans, I can choose 5 brands with the same waist size and leg style and no one will fit the same, but that's another discussion altogether.

The thing guys is, it's like leg pads, some 6'5 guys can wear 34" or 35". I'm 6'2 and have worn 35" and 36" pads. My torso isn't super long otherwise I would be a 6'5 god for sure

Interesting. I reached out to @Kirk3190 for some insight and have yet to get a reply. Not that I don't believe you guys, just want some feedback/thoughts from the designers.

Wouldn't that create an even larger gap under the HD overlay flap?

I tried on a Passau some years ago, a size large. I would of loved to try an XL on to compare. The GT2 would fit slightly bigger, but I can't be 100% sure despite my trying to remember. For the record I'm 6'2, 195ish lbs, broad shoulders.

Given how thin those pieces are, I can't see how protective they can be. The upper part though I see as some kind of dampener to some small extent. I figured that if the side pieces were removed, the upper flaps would fall more flush to the arm, something to be concerned with should the jersey sleeve be too loose or runs up too short. Makes sense?

If you look at the following pic. For all you GT2 users, have these been a nuissance in the sense of keeping the flaps open?

Thanks. They are the Habs edition. Well over 15 years old and still going

My Warrior GT senior catcher is 1.86 lbs. That is crazy light!

BUMP!

Bringing this back for a product question. If Monster is not in business, where else can i find these type of knee blocks?

I will post pics tomorrow. The lighting is awful at night in my place.

Come on, you know we're a superior breed, right

Used twice now within a year. It is a Large. Near mint, no stink. Just not working with me. Asking 400$ CAD shipped in Canada. I take e-transfers. I'm in the Gatineau/Ottawa area.

Graf always had shorter runners, it's like their trademark. I've been in Bauers forever and never got the heel bump so many talk about. Only switch I ever made was one season with Tacks 452s cause they were on sale. I swear they were the worst possible torture I've ever endured. After a full week of goalie camp practice/coaching, 6 hour shifts (with lunch breaks of course), at the end of the week, the right skate rendered my right foot's big toe numb and it lasted me a full f%$@$ year. That's when I went back to Bauer. I have yet to try Grafs in my lifetime. Maybe someday. As for the foot beds only available in the U.S. - why the hell do companies do that? I find that happens a lot in the sports shoe business, be it basketball or road/trail running. Only certain models or colours are available when distributed over the border. Annoying as shit.

You guys don't just shave your legs?

Welcome home

Tonight's pleasure. Reminds me of one of my other passions, trail running.
