  1. I can't wait to play hockey in Israel. Two of my kids made aliya and one of these days I'll bring a spare set of gear to play in.
  2. man, there's a lot of whining. They scored. It's not fair. I'm not one of those old school goalies who say you have to stand up for everything, but yeah, they're scoring because goalies are using RVH for everything. Stay up. They won't score. RVH is being overused. And tell the D that if they see someone going behind the net and doing that crap, check him. They can't score if the puck isn't on the stick. And stay the hell off my lawn you damn kids.
  3. I think the safety issues are overblown. Goalies get hit in the face during games all the time even when these goals aren't an issue. These are also relatively easy to defend. Goalies: Stand the F up. Done. And the example you gave is an even easier one. Stick check him, either up or down. He can't maintain control of the puck. I think it's kind of cool, but I'd also be surprised if there are many more of these, simply because everyone is going to get wise to it.
  4. I'm not understanding the hate on this. Sure, it's showboating, but so is every between the leg dangle, toe drag, whatever. He's using his stick, so it's not like he's throwing, kicking, etc. And it's clearly not banned or the goals would have been waved off. There are two simple solutions: Goalies -- stay standing when he's on the ice and going around the net. Defensemen -- clean his clock. Good clean hit and he'll lose the puck. If you can catch him. Why take something fun to watch out of the game? (And that's coming from someone who hates hates hates the shootout at the end of tie games).
  5. I bought one of those. It never worked. The one I got that came with my Passau pads works much better, IMO
  6. meh. he wasn't the first to come up with using elastic based stuff in lieu of skate laces or leather. Brian's smart strapping predates him. All he did was say "hey, I can use "military grade shock cord" and upcharge a lot." And some of his stuff was just flat out stupid, IMO.
  7. have you worn the combo yet? I shouldn't talk, I just ordered a Passau set.
  8. how do these slide compared to the G3 or G4? Same question with regard to rebounds? I'm in the market for new pads but can't decide between the G4 or the GT2. I'm more of a hybrid than a strict butterfly, but I do slide and I love the big rebounds off my G3s. I should note that I have a very narrow bfly (really a Jiggy fly) and while I love the G3s, I can't quite close the 5 hole on them. Not sure if the GT2 would help.
  9. Height is irrelevant. I'm 5'11". I'm in a 34+1.5. I was playing with a guy who is 6'2". Also in a 34 inch pad. Why? His height is all torso. short legs.
  10. Long sleeve, snug with wrist bands. I bought a pair of batting gloves, will give it a try.
  11. Looking for a recommendation for something to wear under my gloves. As the game goes on I sweat so much that my hands in my gloves are less grippy. I use wrist bands, but I'm looking for batting gloves or other suggestions. Thanks!
