  1. Whether they like it or not!
  2. Sorry - already been given a name - GoDS = Goalies of Diminutive Stature - so it will need to be be S-GoDS
  3. I'm seriously sensing a splinter group forming here. Perhaps we need a "Junior Members" club
  4. While it is the "Over 50 Under 70 Club", we make allowances as per the terms and conditions set out per bunnyman. Like horseshoes and hand-grenades (atomic weapons as well) being close counts. Being old, we have enough to complain about without worrying about seeing your CARP or AARP card...
  5. I'm in - love the tags. And for the record, mile marker 59 is about 2 months away. I'll put in an @Fullright to be sure he doesn't miss out on this great thread. I think he was the one who suggested we could have used one on the old GCN to allow swapping of seniors' discount coupons etc!
  6. Oh, come on - I'm supposed to sit here like a good boy and not say anything!!!!!
  7. I would make sure the wrap wouldn't react to the clear coat first...
  8. I'm with you on that one - plus my "Husqvarna" suspenders
  9. Your pics are a great example of the evolution of the Brown CA!
  10. Have you been watching my shinny? So much of what you said is what I live every game that I had to multi quite you… What I'm talking about is when players are consistently getting breakaways from their own blue line with zero pressure and can go as slow as they want and even stop fully before they shoot. And if you manage to save it, they still have time to go get the rebound in the corner or behind the net and bring it back in front of goal and take an eternity to shoot. Happens all the time with both shinny groups I play but especially on my Sunday group: by the last half hour there’s one kid who just floats between centre ice and my blue line waiting to convert an “alley-oop” into a breakaway and yes he has a time on some to stop and even back up to get a better angle Then when your team finally returns to the zone after a goal or save and cover, they take the puck and immediately turn it over. Last Wednesday’s game – first five rushes against me are breakaways: the first one was the first real play of the game. I stop the breakaway, but while I am trying to recover my D decides the best thing to do is to put a pass from behind the net through the crease and in off my skate… Add to that, oft times I will start against a markedly stronger team so I get buried (despite the fact the fellow who organizes this knows everyone’s caliber of play he lets them set up their own sides - at the start, but then…) As soon as we (goalies) switch ends at the halfway point the fellow who organizes the skate then decides, “oh, it’s pretty lopsided, I’ll shift a bunch of strong players to the other side, so then I’m yet again getting lit up by a stacked team. I don’t come out of these games looking too good (or feeling too good about my tending abilities). While I play for fun, sometimes it feels like I'm the only one that's trying. At some point your pride just says "WTF?"
  11. You can see the loop at the back, I suspect they are under his CA as he doesn't tuck, but ... It makes me think now, (patent rights claimed) why can't the CA be the suspenders as well? (Some already do a version of this with the belt in front and a strap in the back). You could use the suspender loops on the pants with a short tag going to three "slick clips" (two in front, one in back). The CA has the mating version of clips - three clicks and done. Could be set up for both tucking and non tucking...
  12. Great to see all the great bios
  13. Despite the fact they are the local team (I claim innocence as we are on an island) as a Habs fan, I may have made a few and applied a couple of skewers....
  14. Ha ha, well perhaps it's time to put away your voodoo dolls then
  15. That's OK, the Canucks aren't really helping Miller either (not sorry I had to do it...)

    Looks like they were trying to cover over the string binding at the top (back) end and had to carry it the rest of the way.
  17. I'll "third" this comment: I have a bit of airspace between my chest and the CA and it works just like a little air bag - just enough give to kill both the shock and the rebound. So much nicer than the old "light winter jacket" we used to wear back in the day
  18. OK - sorry - found the "Thumbs Up" ...
  19. Please make a "Crying" emoji ("Thumbs Up" would be appreciated too!)
  20. Oh well... In any case I like the pic with the trophy and your pads - that one needs to go in an album. I'd say in your trophy case, but it's probably pretty full!
  21. Awesome - now where's the video? And it seems to me the last time you won a cup you also fell down in the video - more of the same?
