  1. Lost my winter league championship game two weeks ago. It was a close game until the last five minutes of the third (the go-ahead goal was scored on a five on four after killing the preceding five on three, and they scored a breakaway about a minute later), so losing wasn't too bad. What sucked was having to play a double header that night, for which my team (and I) were less than sober. haha
  2. Had a double header tonight, starting with the winter league final. Lost both, but the boys brought two thirties of Labatt. haha
  3. Now this is my kind of thread... When it comes to beer, I generally don't discriminate. My favorite microbrews are Wicked Weed's Freak of Nature double IPA (Asheville, NC), Greenbrier Valley Brewing Co.'s Wild Trail pale ale (Maxwelton, WV), and Chestnut Brew Works' Halleck pale ale (Morgantown, WV). But I mostly keep Miller Lite or Labatt (and a couple different bourbons) stocked at the house. After hockey beers are generally whatever my teammates buy for that week.
  4. This happened to my Bauer chest protector, but only after years of use. Because I couldn't take mine back, I used skate laces to tie the arms back to the body. It has been holding up well since then.

    New skates, Stepsteel, and Superfeet have finally arrived! Here are some teasers until I do a review in a month or so. Out of the box, the skates fit and feel perfect; I can't wait to get them baked and skate in them this weekend!
  6. Thanks, @craig; will do. Also, thanks @SaveByRichter35. I guess I will have someone else reach out to him via Facebook because I don't have (and don't want) one.
  7. @craig, I fully expect to have to ship my mask somewhere for the refurb. The question is more turnaround and cost. @SaveByRichter35, thanks for the heads up. I don't have Facebook (I know, shocking), so I'll likely reach out through his website.
  8. Thanks for the response, that is definitely good to know. I would also like to know your thoughts on the outsider straps (or the like). My backplate straps are gross and need to be replaced. @craig, I am currently located in eastern panhandle of West Virginia (about an 1.5 hours from Washington DC).
  9. Has anyone had their mask refurbished by New Image Goalie Masks? If you have, I'd appreciate hearing about your experience. I have a Bauer Profile 960 that needs some TLC. Once it's refurbished, I plan on swapping out all the hardware, most of which is rusted over, and installing Maltese padding and new backplate straps to complete the makeover.

    Because "Bauer" is my surname (unfortunately no relation to the owners of Bauer hockey), my username will likely remain the same. lol Believe it or not, I have never worn Bauer skates--only CCM Tacks from back in the day, Graf 750 Goaler Pros, Graf G50 Ultras, and the Reebok 11Ks. Although, I've recently been tempted to try the new Bauer goalie skates, the AS1 teaser photos and updated cowling have kept me at bay.

    Just pre-ordered a pair of CCM Tacks AS1 goalie skates and step steel to replace my Reebok 11k goalie skates with Bauer Supreme One100 cowlings. I'm looking forward to the increased attack angle!
  12. Although I've only used them for one skate thus far, I would recommend the 1X knee pads. Over the last year, I have tried numerous knee pads--Passau, Koho 589 Pro, and CCM KP Pros--and I liked the 1X's the best; they are the most balanced combination of comfort, protection, and mobility. Also, the garter belt is included, if you purchase through GoalieMonkey.
  13. Skated with the Bauer Vapor 1X knee pads tonight, with the matching garter strap, and I can confidently say that they are the best knee pads that I have played with thus far. Proper balance of protection, comfort, and mobility. My only complaint is the garter system makes getting dressed more of a hassle, but beggars can't be choosers.
  14. Thanks for the clarification; I didn't know which CCM pants they are.
  15. The Goalie Crease still has some CCM pro return pants: https://www.thegoaliecrease.com/index.php/products/product/5176-ccm-pro-return-goalie-pant-nhl-ahl-chl
  16. Having pants in both fit 3 and fit 4 (for now), I can confirm that they fit pretty true to size as GoalieMonkey suggests: fit 3 is L and fit 4 is XL.
  17. Love the Belfour tribute, and the 961 clone looks good. On a related note, I've never seen another goalie wear 47; great choice.
  18. Both were purchased from GoalieMonkey last week.
  19. I ended up buying two pairs to try: a pair of Ottawa pants (fit 3 +2) and a pair of San Jose pants (fit 4 +1). I think I've finally settled on the San Jose pants because the other pair is too long. They'll be replacing an eight-year-old pair of Reebok Premier pants that are falling apart.
