I'm bored, so here goes... Which is the most iconic goalie per team in their history, and I don't necessarily mean stats or numbers, just that one guy that resonates his team. *Don't get all bent out of shape if you disagree or I happen to not mention one or just ran a blank. It's supposed to be fun! It's just hockey...and life...and all that the universe has to offer My pics: Montreal - Patrick Roy...Dryden close 2nd Toronto - Mike Palmateer...Cujo close 2nd Detroit - Chris Osgood Boston - Reggie Lemelin Chicago - Phil Esposito...Belfour close 2nd Edmonton - Grant Fuhr Pittsburgh - Marc-Andre Fleury N.Y.

Had to share this gem! Don't let it slip away guys. https://www.facebook.com/share/1f2nyTufFEW7gy1s/?mibextid=kL3p88

My Bauer 940 straps already fraying after just a couple months

Just thought of looking on my phone...duh

Yeah, yours runs high compared to mine. I tried to find my pic on here but wasn't successful.

@coopaloop1234 fair enough.

Coming back for a question... @Mroy31 and @coopaloop1234 when you wear/wore it, did you find the lower grey flaps useless in the design? I've seen a couple used ones out there (1S/2S) where the flaps were removed. I'm guessing it was to make more room when in your crouch. Seeing how it fits long on me, I was wondering if that would help with the fit or not. I do have the wing straps pulled as tight as they go to keep it up. No interference in the throat or mask.

Do you find that you have to pull down or readjust your mask during a game now and then? I'm used to a static chin cup vs a yo-yo one. Gets annoying now and then.

Bringing this back for a quick question... For anyone who's bought a 960 manufactured in 2023, does it have an elastic chin cup strap like the 940 or a regular nylon strap?

If in Canada, Nash Sports

I come from the school of toe straps and buckles. When I was trying to learn the butterfly technique and recoveries and slides etc, that was hell'a stressful on the ankle and knees, especially if you're no double jointed gumby. When moved to toe ties with laces, it was better but still no cotton candy and gum drops. Now with bugees/elastics, it's soooo muuuuch better and even though I still don't have any more butterfly flare as Bigfoot interviews, it allows me to continue playing with the modern style all the fresh kids are doing

@keeperton I've asked the OP if he could post a pic of his set-up to better understand how he could possibly sustain such injuries with bungies. Still waiting. My original Pro-Laces are kinda tight but still allowed me to rotate my ankle properly. My Trav like Pro-Laces have even more give. My photos above give me an in between feeling. There's a mystery at hand.

@coopaloop1234 so the G7 runs taller but you're still a 33"? So does this mean that the flat boot is no different than the risers on the GT2? The difference is in the shin? The knee landing spot remains the same?

Skate laces alone were not helping and I don't think have 3+ inches of slack will do good on my knee landing, which means I'd hove to go back to boot straps to keep the pad up? I'd be going backwards. Pro-Laces have been great. I recently started using my own franken'setup to get a better drive with the lower portion of the pad. Still toying with the setup but feeling ok so far...

Most of everything is done overseas now. They give them the "Building a glove 101" course and off they go. I'm sure there are random verification but is there an actual QC department? Who knows. After all, once they start building things, it's all about numbers thereafter.

@Hockey34 I've tried short sleeves before and I just don't like it for many reasons. I need the long sleeves

So, Warrior it is then...

The 1.0 or the 3.0?

Ok but is it just like a piece of hose or something? Can't be too wide of a tube obviously.

I know but I had already bought mine before those came out, hence my mod. At 50$ a pop, I don't necessarily want to build a collection you know. After all, I only own 1 set of pads

Not to derail the thread but could you post a pic? I had that idea for my Pro-Laces I was using but couldn't find something suitable that wouldn't bunch up or just fall off. Closest thing I did was a couple turns of stick tape to pinch the first 1" - 1" 1/2.

OK, I'll be the first to ASK before I make a full comment or statement. Please post a pic of your pads with the bungee and I especially would like to see a shot of it from the back at the boot channel specifically. In the meantime, sorry to hear about the injury. Hope you have a full and healthy recovery.

Thought I'd start a talk on what's out there, different brands and models. Compression or loose fit. I prefer a loose kind of fit, not too tight. The set I've been using for the past 2 decades, the pant waist elastic has finally let go and they don't hold up as well anymore. Unfortunately the brand doesn't exist anymore. The replacement I got was the Source for Sports kit. Cheaper priced, not the best quality. I'm guessing they'll last a season or 2 at most. Your turn. *mods, if this isn't the right forum, please do your thing. Thanks

I wanted to mention this realization of mine recently. The type of jersey you wear has a direct impact on how your c/a will fit/wear and perform. If I wear my Monday night SP sublimanated team jersey which is baggy as hell, my 2S Pro feels bulky and the shoulder caps seem oversized and in the way. If I wear my Laval Rocket official practice jersey on my Friday night pick up, my c/a seems a bit more streamlined, my shoulder caps aren't so much in the way and the body seems closer to me. I wear an XL c/a BTW. I believe that the new sizing rules accompanied by more fited jerseys do make a large difference in how you look, how you feel and how you play. Just thought I'd throw this out there.

With Kaskisuo in Laval right now and doing quite well and having some experience at the top, Allen could go and Primeau could fall back to Laval if he doesn't bring enough A game. Hence another shot for Kassimir to be a #2 for Montenbeault.
