Great post as always. I can’t add a reaction to it though because I’ve liked too many posts today lol. I’m curious about the super stuff option. My pads do curl in the slightest bit and I’ve also gotten more flexible so I might bump up to regular stiff on the upper core on my next set. I’m pretty sure we’ve had our sets for a similar amount of time and your pads are way straighter than mine are currently haha.

That’s very true. Funnily though, I met my eventual best friends through social media and have luckily met most of them in person. they’re the best people I could have as friends. My dad is aware of my involvement on this forum and when I told him I found out about this he was very sympathetic about it. I’m glad to have someone as understanding as him because he knows you can make a strong connection with people even if it’s just on the internet. Even if I didn’t know bunny that well at all, I’m heartbroken because of the others he clearly had an impact on. No matter where the relationship may end up, it’s still good to try and be kind to others, even strangers. It could make their day. Obviously, it’s still a good idea to be careful with who you interact with.. but you never know.

Wow. didn’t know the full extent of his health issues but even with that he was still positive and loved playing goal as much as anyone else here. He put a lot of effort into his mods and I can’t say putting custom padding to protect your ostomy bag so he could play goal anyways is something you see everyday lol. I wish I could say more to give him more justice but I think we could take some advice from him by trying to stay happy and enjoy the sport we all love even when facing awful stuff like that. I can’t imagine what he went through in those last few months but he was one tough dude. It’s weird to think that we kind of brush off the people we interact with on the internet cause we don’t really know them, and all of a sudden they’re gone. Of course there’s gonna be some douchebags out there but you never know what someone could be going through even if they’re positive. Rear easy Doug, I didn’t know you well but you will be missed. God rest your soul

Agreed with what Coop said, although I’ve only ever just tried on the new gloves, and on the left hand at that because nobody carries anything in stores full right anyways but I’ve always stuck with the lt98 and haven’t went custom with the later generations. I know Matt Murray used an lt98 internal on his SLR at some point so it could be the internals with that unique feel you like.

You have a good point. It’s really strange though because they held up really well for a year or so. I’ll reach out to them soon

Not sure why they even bother doing it anymore. It doesn’t look good. Should’ve asked for it on my last custom one but I’m considering getting a game ready glove because this shit can’t fully close after having it for almost a year, so will definitely ask for that when I order it.

So for the first time in 6 years ish of me playing… my blade snapped, pretty sure I played with it for 20 or so minutes too. There’s still a missing piece of it that was on the ice or something. Thankfully I have an extra set… and just bought some stainless tydans. I think the grooves put in the top is what partially led to it breaking.

Holy shit. Glad you’re alright right now though. Hamstring incident seems like a freak accident but nonetheless scary, I’ve been taking care of my body more with stretching and such but this post should remind us all to do everything we can to prevent injury… it makes a hell of a difference

According to Bednar it’s not serious. I hope he’s right. I wonder about the legality of cat eyes in the future…

Totally didn’t see this coming…

Slick sty, slick slide. Congrats on the championship win!

Roughneck is super similar to eco and maltese. Can’t go wrong with them.

I mean I’ve had ‘em for a bit like I said. They’re great but for me they took a skate to get used to

Finally got a hold of these. Grabbed these SLR3 pro carbon pants around 2 weeks ago, took a few skates to get used to but they’re very mobile and protective. Definitely a more tucking type of pant but I don’t tuck and I haven’t had much trouble with movement

I personally ditched the dangler a few years ago because it was so loud and obstructed my downwards view. I know there are ways to make it quieter but I haven’t really gone back. On my roughneck I ordered a 2 inch height on the throat area and it hasn’t been giving me any issues. One time when I had just a dangler I got hit in the high sternum and said that was enough lol I also don’t really overheat as much as I sweat, and I don’t really take advice from trav in the first place but it’s a valid reason.

Or a neck guard at least. Him and Lehner need to take notes… just asking for a throat shot

Wedgewood’s new setup, still waiting on the mask

Just tragic.

*cries in 5’7*

I use this, they also make detergent Molecule

I can’t cut with my left if I tried lol, I also kicked mostly right when I played soccer but batted left when I played baseball before I played goal, it was natural for me to shoot lefty but concluded that catching left was a no go, now I can’t see myself shooting left anymore

No. I actually kind of like it

I’ve only skated in it a few times. Protection overall great and mobility is too, upper bicep protection still a little lacking as per with the velocity line

basically lol. at least his pads are cool

Update: no nationals. Welp. To stay on topic, here’s Rittich’s SS mask. I lowkey like it
