Weekend tournament in Slovakia:

Bauer NXG goalie pads arrived .

Is it on The Rings - Anaheim Ducks training facility? Wow, amazing butterfly flare.. and great set of course.

New Vaughn Vetnus jock (doule cup) and new cage. First time in cat eye and honestly don´t see any big vision difference...

Thanks. Those are realy great pads, in my opinion shame to not use them on ice and just display them .

If there is demand for that kind of review, i will ask manufacturer for permission to post more photos and review .

Nice set, is that black or dark blue?

Sent you message.

Good eye . Slowly fading out, but still there.. In my opinion it was not a good camp.. it was GREAT. It was my second camp and will go next year again. I enjoyed every minute, every second. Goalies were from Slovakia, Austria, Germany, Hungary, Russia, Japan, Czech...international coaches too. btw. We were there only 3 amateur goalies over 30, so they placed us in kids group (U15) .

From summer goalie camp, that green jersey was from organizators, so why not...

Nice photos SBR35. And this is my favourite goalie position .

Pilsner Urquell

We have very important things to do now - golf, fishing, sunbathing...

Great to have another Ducks fan here .

Looks realy good, I almost forget how good is classic white-blue colour scheme.

Exactly this...but when I look at it now, your all white looks better.

I can imagine add two narrow orange stripes in the shin area (something like this, but not curved and not on knee rolls: But I understand, that would ruin the Classics/Irbe idea.

That is how vintage classics set should look. But must say, I like your black set more...

You played at Honda Center and went with Arizona Jersey? Unforgivable, I hope you've got more than 10 goals .

Brian´s Gnetik gloves - not in need for gloves, but good price from my friend, so i couldn´t restist try Brian´s. Vaughn Ventus Pads - pro return from Ducks (Andersen), as a Ducks fan, couldn´t resit...you know .

and thanks, it is my favourite set.

I found my previous mask from Itech and it is even little shallower than bauer 961, but the problem with gap was not there. This was strange, because I remember that I wanted exactly same fit, when I bought 961. So I tighten the highest strap on backplate (it was obviously very loose) and the other top side straps too. Then changed position of the chin cup a little. It works realy well and helps a lot. Now my mask sits snug at my face, before there was a little moving around cheek bones. Conclusion - I realy must pay attention to the mask straps and check them sometimes. coopaloop1234 and TGN - thanks again for your comments, maybe I would not found probelm..before some serious shot to the head.

I know, that gap shouldn´t be there. Thanks and appreciate your comment. I'll definitely look at it when I come home from work today. I have a previous mask somewhere (Itech), so I will try to compare if bauer is realy that shallow. EDIT: or my head is bigger than used to be

Do you mean the gap between mask and backplate? Can it be from doing this - I just sometimes slap mask back with move of head only? I see this problem only on some photos, I thnik that backplate should be inside (red area). Maybe backplate should be placed lower or I should cut out piece of foam (green area)? Because I don´t feel the mask to be small, in reality it should be more tight. It is just like backplate should go more inside, but it is stuck by foam at green area. Itech/Bauer 960 was just allways best feel for me, budget or availibility is not concern in case of mask. I really appreciate any comment - helps to try find where the problem is .
