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.

Ah, OK - thanks for checking. It must be just me then. I'll see if I can dig through the bowels of the phone settings this weekend.

Not sure if it is just me/my phone (which is pretty new ) but I haven't been able to get the menu in the top-right corner to come up for the past few days. From memory, it was the icon with a few horizontal lines, and had the 'log in" option in there. I can see it, but I can't tap it to come up with the list of options. Cheers!

1. It is also heresy 2. I'd love to be a bro for you on this, but I'm raising two kids, in a house way bigger than we'd need if ti was just my wife and I. And they are both playing hockey. And they eat, like, every damned day, the little freeloaders. So while "12 years ago me" is right there with you on the saving for a wedding thing, present-day me is like "Awww! Isn't that just precious...?" Not sure what you'll decide, but both sets look sweet; no bad choice there!

Wait a minute here... holder of the coveted DINK status is on two teams, with two different colour schemes (yes, that's with a "u" as I am addressing my fellow Canadian) and a brand/model he likes, with beautiful mocks ups for both schemes, is asking what to do...?!?! You buy BOTH sets. I mean, like WTF dude - are you new or something? Have you not been paying attention this whole time? Make it RAIN MONEY in that THS! LOL!

That last pic - is that dude wearing a Labatt 50 jersey?

Wow! A beauty set up that all matches, AND matches with your team's uniform! You're the envy of many a beer-leaguer! Very nice pics. How did you fare in the tournament...? I noticed the black post guards are still in place in these pics; do they always leave those on for you? I'd love it if they did that for me, but the skate sharpeners' lobby is way too powerful here... lol!
