That has to be the line of the day; well played, @southpawtendy48!

Man - stoning them like a boss! Sweet dude! Big Blue(s) for the win! could be just the angle, but the new pillows look bigger than your last ones. Just an illusion maybe?

I'm diggin those, man. I almost started off goal-tending in a very similar pair of Itechs (can't remember the precise model) that I found at my PIAS, but backed out as they seemed a bit small for me when I tried them on at home, in full gear. As @creasecollector said, great find! Look forward to hearing about your first on-ice with them!

Very nice! I’m waiting on a pair of the gnetik 4 pads myself (probably October). 2 questions for you, if you don’t mind: 1. Was there an up charge for the Thin Blue Line flag in place of the number on the calf strap, and if so, about how much? 2. You refer to Your “other gnetik 4s...” So you’ve already gone through a pair? Can you elaborate on the “got really soft up top” part? hmmm - I guess that’s 3 questions. Sorry!

I bet you weren't able to score then either

LOL! - cheers, man. High praise indeed, from the resident Shit-poster in Chief! Signed, Grad Class of 1996's "Biggest smart Ass" as voted on by the grads themselves (so, kinda like the Ted Lindsay award, if you think about it)

You guys actually played with your wallets? I just kinda stick mine in my pocket, and forget about it...

Man - I look at this, and after the gear, it's the hair styles hit me - LOL! I knew guys with those styles of hair... this is like something right out of my high school year book, which was how many years ago now...? (does math) ... WTF - 1998-99 was TWENTY YEARS AGO?!?!

Oh yeah - this reminds me of some sweet pads I saw at my local PIAS back in January. Maybe not the best place to post them, but if @seagoal will oblige me:

Wait a sec... nuts... pecan... Bunny made a funny!

That looks like my kind of DIPA! But at 8.5%, well... this is not your teenage-self's PBR. no, sir! LMAO!

WTF - are you new, @bunnyman666? Please, please PLEASE tell me this was the seller's pic, and not yours...

You were gonna selfie that shit? Doesn’t Mr. Cannon, your league photographer, follow you around at home too...?

Aw, come on! Sounds like a weak sauce excuse to me. You could have thrown it on before taking the kids to the park, or wear it while mowing the lawn, or even model it while having dinner with your wife’s friend that you hate! Lol!

Wow - that's interesting, and certainly makes sense based on what I've experienced and observed. For testers concerned about the mesh, I did a close visual inspection of the mesh panels on mine, and could not find any breakdown, or snag or tear. Plus, the new Pro model appears to have smaller mesh panels than mine does. The pics don't tell the whole story, because again I'm trying to show something that isn't there - but for what it's worth:

Wooo! Nice one, man! Dare is ask - has the streak continued...?

I have the older/original/non-pro Interceptor, and have used it my entire career (about a year, according to my O-Pee-Chee card - lol!) I love it - though I acknowledge that it hasn’t been put to the test, per se, and might be lacking for impact protection at the throat. I’ll likely buy this new one when it becomes available. I’m already used to removing and replacing the innards every skate, so the only change for me will be better protection. I can, however, support your theory about wear. I wash mine after EVERY skate, no exceptions. Trying to do some quick math, I must have washed this thing at least 75 times - and there is no wear to be seen! Also, the panels where the D30 goes in have remained taught, and still hold everything in place (i.e the material has not stretched to the detriment of the item’s performance). tried to take a few pics of the areas you’d expect to show wearing, but it’s hard to show something that isn’t there. Happy to take more if anyone wants.

Wow, man - 2 years old! A very happy birthday to your little guy, SBR!

Maybe - but I think he’s more into the Whalers’ colours. And swans.

Likka? I hardly know her!

Congrats on the shutout, dude! My shutouts always get ruined by the first or second shot on goal - LOL! While I've never had a Lionshead Deluxe Pilsner, my research leads me to believe that you may be beering wrong. I mean, putting the word "Deluxe" in there is like when an autocracy includes "Democratic" in their country's name...

Can't help but think whatever "balance issues" you have may be related to the bottles in the background of the pic...?

Yup! My wife’s a lucky woman.

Rating: 5 “fuck, yeahs!” Out of 5

I'm very glad you caught this, @coopaloop1234, as it constitutes a Beer Crime under Article 5, Section 1, Para 2 of the Beer Code: Intimating, Implying, and/or Insisting that Coors Light is beer. I will have to report this to The High Beer Tribunal, which tragically still has to hear way too many of these cases - even in this relatively enlightened age. Such a shame.
