The goal he gave up to Hedman was pretty bad.  He was way off angle.  Shot came a few inches off the left faceoff dot, but his right knee was above the 45 marker in the crease.  Despite that, he played well the rest of the game.  Nothing he could have done on the first, MacKinnon was busy complaining to the ref instead of bodying up Cirelli

Some debate on the internets today on the validity of Kadri's goal, the complaint is that the play should have been blown dead for too many men.  Avs absolutely owned zone time in OT and that was enough to do Tampa in I think

OT winner was another low blocker goal on Vasi, that seems to be the game plan on him in this series

Avs camp is putting up some drama about ice conditions in Tampa, accusing rink staff of running the rink hot so the ice is a little slushy to slow them down

Will be an interesting game 5 tomorrow

Obviously I have nothing to back it up, but I wouldn't doubt for one moment that they ran ice conditions to be as favorable to the Lightning/hindering to the Avs as possible. Why wouldn't they?

@mariodolphins1010 I don't know what level your son plays at, but I bought 4 of those Eflex 4 intermediates at $100 each last month. 2 have broken already while playing 2-3 times a week. 

8-0, 219/221 0.991 SV%, 0.25 GAA. Vasy's stats in his last 8 series clinchers are unbelievable. I know he's behind a great team, but it's still incredible. I feel like this is what Hasek might have been like in his prime if he had had a team like this around him. 

Even if you make it a little more realistic and take all clinching scenarios, the numbers are amazing.

Got the set that I bought online last night, spent a few minutes cleaning them up this morning!

I'm 50 years old, english is my native language, and I've never used the word "usurping" in my life. I'm not even sure how to pronounce it, or what it means. But I'm gonna see about working it into my daily vocabulary. 

We now return you to your regularly scheduled programming.... sorry if I ursurped anyone....

you-sir-ping

To take a position by force.

@RichMan I added more foam to the inside of the calf landing on my G5 pads. It’s easy to do as there is a strip of Velcro there already that the foam pillow can bond to. 
 

Ha, that's funny. I did almost the exact same thing with my G4s and had to do it on my G5s because it felt weird without it.

2S Pro gloves.

Haven't used Bauer gloves since my first set ever (One 55). 

Curious to see if these will be able to pull me away from my Warriors.

Based on my experience with Bauer and Warrior, I'm gonna guess not. 

Too good of a deal to pass up on a set of Optik 2 pads/Opt1k gloves, so I'm going to see what a super stiff pad feels like. Max core, 32+2.

I'd tried an FLX Opt1k previously, but they were too tall in the knee at 33+1, so these might fit the bill.

What about knee pads? Or has Warrior not released a new model yet?

I think their newest is still the Ritual X3 line. I've got the X3 Pro+, great kneepads.

Tim Thomas also used Smith/Warrior, right?

Couldn't believe how many went through Koskinen's arms last night.  Glad Flames won 

Just watching the highlights, I don't think that the game had that many more scoring opportunities than a lot of others, it was just all around leaky goaltending. 

Called The Hockey Shop today, didn't expect G6 stuff in until June 12 or so now. 

TBay's 3rd goal shouldn't have counted tonight. Change my mind.

Just heard retail stock is still estimated to be another 4-6 weeks out for the store I’m at. 

Boo. I want slide plates and I want them yesterday. 

Oettinger was unreal tonight. Unfortunate that that one snuck in on him in the RVH.

Freakin Oilers ... and feel bad for the Leafs. 

Never feel bad for the Leafs. They'll still get more headlines through the second round than some teams that made it through. 

My only wish is that they had the TV special going this year too, to see the collapse for the second year in a row from the inside would've been amazing. 

I don't care about custom orders, I just want slide plates!

Looks more like “Sports pics that don’t show enough”.

In this age of “computers in our hands”, why anyone would dick around (pun intended) with soft porn is beyond me

Some people like to leave a little to the imagination, I suppose.

Just wondering if any of you see the same pop up ads that I see when I come here. Some of them are like soft porn

Pretty sure they're personalized ads....

And upping your electric bill as you charge it at home.

Not sure how much electricity costs where you are, but for me it's about $0.09/kilowatt hour. Super cheap and would make a huge difference if I were to completely disregard the initial purchase price of an EV

Have you seen if Simmons will make you a 586? They're still in operation as far as I know. 

Edit: https://simmonshockey.com/product/simmons-586-pro-series-goalie-pads-custom

Looks like it's not even a special order to get them. 

https://www.sourceforsports.ca/collections/goalie-equipment/brand_warrior

Looks like just about everything G6 is online and priced here, but not yet available to order. 

Got confirmation from someone that the slide plate kit does in fact fit on the G5, as we all kind of figured anyway. Sounded like it would be available in about 2 weeks or so and if the gentleman wasn't mistaken, only costs about $60 or so.

So odd that the league is maintaining this team like this - adding new teams in other markets... yet Quebec is still not good enough?

Too many degens from upcountry out that way. 

Happened to find Eflex 4 sticks for $100 direct from CCM's website last night. Intermediate 24" with a Price curve if that's what anyone uses.
