It's your mitt, @bunnyman666 - You just poo what you gotta poo do what you gotta do brother!

Damn... that trapper is a beaut!

So my son's Novice C Championship team, but ALL of us coach/helper Dads drink beer - ergo, posting in this thread is justified. You can't believe how they played in that last game - a 10-3 trouncing of a team that had beat them 2 weeks prior. Everything we had showed them how to do, asked them to do, told them to do, yelled at them to do, implored them to do since the first practice, and every game - but which they never seemed to remember or execute... it all came together! I was just an on-ice helper with this team, and it was an incredible experience. These kids can make you "want-to-punch-a-wall" frustrated, and then make you "I hope nobody saw that tear roll down" proud. Damned kids...

I think I just cried a little. It's just so powerful!

Got the Armour Hybrid, put them on with the waxed skate lace provided (as I had requested, based on what I had read here - cheers for that tip, all). @cwarnar : loved the idea of putting your kids’ names on there, so I did the same:

Dude, that is pretty fucking cool!

Skate laces. These bad-boys were custom (well, custom-selected from stock on the shelf). Yup! That’s 108” of red, waxed cutting-edge technology. This shit is fierce! I’m sure they will give me superior transfer of energy, so that I don’t have to do exercises or stuff like that to improve myself.

Lol! You’re right to call me out on this. True - 6 PBRs, for example, would be lightweight for sure. But the beers in my fridge now are all between 7% and 9.5%. And kids don’t care what happened last night; it’s always go time for Daddy! University-me could do 15-20 in a night, but that was ~15 years ago. One time at a cottage, when we did the math after, 3 of us had done a 2-4 each. Man, university-me was fucking gross! Lol!

Can just imagine how this would go: wife: “what the... how many is that? The kids have swimming lessons at 8:00 tomorrow, and then hockey!” me:” izzz.. uh, becuz... you know the goalie site I said about...? The guy... the (hic!) one who is a bunny... I think... wait, maybe heze da Easter bunny...? Uh - says... like, he writes-says... ‘man, go drink 6 beers... a’right?’ So like... y’know...he has a 6 in his name too, no, like... 3 of them, so he... like, he must know about sixes... so... y’know me, babe: the Dude (hic!) abides...”

Post it in the “goalie-seeking-goalie” thread, do I don’t have to see it. AFAIK, it’s only @coopaloop1234 and @SaveByRichter35 who hang out there anyway

Presumably, you’re PM-ing the photos to Coop, right?

Shit dude, sorry. As I went to post, I actually thought “Bunny can probably drink now! Wonder what he’s been having...” I’ll take one for the team here, and drink another on your behalf if you like...?

It’s Friday, had a decent game (in spite of my 5 yr old getting a surprise visit from The Puke Fairy in the middle of the night last night) and haven’t had a beer since Sunday Provincial IPA, from local favourites Dominion City. That’ll do, pig. That’ll do.

Nice pic, Coop. 2 questions for you: 1. Nike/Bauer glove guy from back row and righteous beard dude: if they break up, whose side are you taking? 2. Those weird, dark-ish scuff marks all over the white parts of your gear... what is that? My gear doesn't have that.

Oh, I know that; by commenting on this, I thought I was intimating a re-affirmation that you can't deduce leg pad size from height, but I may have missed the mark there.

So, don't get them wet? And let me guess: don't feed them after midnight...? I think I found a jersey to wear with these pads:

Well, if it is indeed theory #1, that at least legitimizes my posting it in this thread. At $500, that would be quite a steal! ...of course, all Steve-lievers hope and pray it's theory #2.

Time for a bump, methinks.

Not sure where else to put this, but if you want a BAD deal, or to be stolen from, check out this dude's post: I mean, am I missing something? Why would you buy this used set, when you can get a BRAND NEW GNETik-IV for <$3K There must be something I'm not realizing or understanding here... I've never bought or sold on Sidelineswap, so maybe there's an explanation...? I almost want to contact the guy and say "Hi! So your ad... WTF ?Do they come with a skate sharpening machine or a personal trainer or a lifetime-supply of tape...? Regards, Mr. Not Interested"

Great initial review - but just to clarify: which is the NEW set again...? Interesting that you're in a 35 +1; I'm also 5'11", and find my 34+1 are too big. Look forward to hearing about your first skate with the whole family!

Is 45-50 years about how long it takes for pages to un-stick then...?

Yeah, sorry for the false alarm; I can’t brain as good as I used to before people started shooting pucks off my head...

Ok, I had “block pop-ups” on. All good now. Cheers!

It's iOS. Tried the ol "Turn off, then turn on" magic fix for all Apple issues, but no dice. Don't worry too much about this, SBR. I'll figure it out later.

Back from my usual Friday pick up game, and for the very first time, I only let in one goal! ONE! It wasn't necessarily my best game, and I didn't have my career-best saves (one of which came last week with this group) but I felt solid. Guys in the room were saying after "too bad about the shutout." But I told them "admittedly, it crossed my mind early, cus you guys were playing such great D... but only having one goal against, for me, it's like Christmas, and the Stanley Cup, and the Gold medal all at once! I'm over the moon!" There were some good belly-laughs at that one. Great bunch of guys I play with on Fridays.
