I feel as though a little Spider-Man webbing in red would look great on that.

Yep, everyone's fine, we still have the main floor to live in so it's just a little more cramped. At the end of the day, it's only stuff that needs to get fixed/replaced. Not the end of the world!

Any of you ever dealt with insurance for a flooded basement? I'll get to experience the joys of that shortly.

Yeah, I've looked at those in the past and they all, at least in my area, suffer from rust horrifically. They're definitely a sleeper though. I wish they'd have made them with the wagon body! Another unicorn would be the Mazdaspeed Protege!

Got my question answered in Warrior's Instagram stories too.

Absolutely will do, I'm sure anyone using Warriors that likes the 3M tape on the wings will want to get them.

I asked Warrior about it back in January, they said it would be offered for sale separately. I replied to the email thread again today and am awaiting a response. I've also contacted The Hockey Shop to see if they can get it in for me.

Nice. I just need to try to find the slide plates!

Liver kicks in MMA are no joke....it doesn't look like it should do what it does, but the body just stops working.

Good, I need to buy some of those slide plates!

I just recently sold my Audi S4 due to not being able to justify spending more on gas in a month than one of my mortgage payments. Gas prices are crazy. I was paying $7.37 (CAD) per gallon. Listed the car on a Saturday, sold it the next day at 6 pm, bought a Mazda 3 hatchback at 7. Instantly started to save upwards of $300 a month in gas, the Passau bag actually fits in the back nicely, insurance is cheaper, parts and labour are cheaper. I don't like driving it nearly as much though. Going from 400 horsepower with a lovely stick shift and rear biased AWD system to 155 and FWD is a bummer.

If I hadn't recently bought the new Graf Peakspeed Pro G skates, I'd probably be willing to give these a shot. I'm still unsure of what exactly the hinging accomplishes though.

ONE OF US! ONE OF US! Do it, they're great. I've been mostly in Smith/Warriors for the last 8 years and have tried a little bit of everything else, but for me at least they just work. If you don't feel compelled to have the latest and greatest, get some G5s and just get the slide plate kit that Warrior is coming out with on the G6. When I asked, they said it would be available separately. If you're not opposed to secondhand sets, there are usually a few used sets available on either Sideline Swap or GGSU and other Facebook groups.

I reffed hockey for 10 years. It's been 8 years since I last did it, I don't miss it too much. Quit because it started actually costing me more money via turning down OT at my day job when I'd made a commitment to reffing already. Actually, other than being required to use player skates, I did a lot of shuffling, c cuts bumping off the wall to get out of the way of players and pucks and a good amount of backwards skating so thinking about it there was some overlap.

Jumbo just needs that 4 goal game and accompanying antics and he's a lock. Someone said Vasy's too soon, if he retired tomorrow I can see it. 200+ wins, multiple cups, how would you not?

I had a set just like that. They were good, but needed somewhat regular application of snoseal to keep them from becoming super waterlogged. They also had the ability to change out the board on the blocker for a color change on the holes.

Had a mostly good game last night. Bailed out the team I was playing for when a d-man fell and lost the puck in the slot multiple times. Blew it in the last two minutes though when a knuckling/tumbling puck hit the inside of my blocker and then went off the post and in. I find it hard to separate the feeling of having a good game with one unfortunate moment resulting in a loss.

No, we're the mugs.

Ha! A Lefevre glove is $700 CAD!

Yeah, I hate having to settle for a curve I don't want though. The one by me at least only ever has one option.

Is anyone else blown away with how much sticks cost these days? I've had 2 out of my 3 sticks break recently, so I was shopping around for a replacement and even a low end composite is around $150. I don't need a top of the line stick anymore (realistically never have), but I was curious what they go for and was shocked to see that a True Catalyst PX is $400, either high end Bauer and Warrior Pro+ lines are $350, and a CCM Axis Pro almost seems like a comparatively good deal at "only" $300. Am I just showing some age by seeming to remember that $200 used to be the price point for a high end stick?

Would you care to elaborate?

@A.YOUNGoalie13 the videos don't seem to be working.

I don't take a lot of pucks to the knee/thigh but a one timer the other week caught me there as hard as one ever will and while I felt it, it didn't render my leg useless. I've pretty much just used Bauers, PAW (also very good), and Warrior. Can't see any reason to move away from Warrior.
