The organization failed Tavares. I don't expect Isles fans to believe it right now but take a realistic look at the history of the franchise for Tavares' tenure there and it will be a lot easier to understand the decision he made. It wasn't one he took lightly and I firmly believe that even with all of the Islanders shitshow over the years that a big part of Tavares did not want to leave and was trying very hard to convince himself to stay.

Hello, new member here. Just getting back into hockey after a number of years off. Strictly beer rec league. Anyway, had to buy some new equipment, and went into my local pure hockey looking to just get some entry level pads, only to realize that they did not feel comfortable at all. Tried on some higher level stuff just for sizing and found that the better gear fit better, felt better, and was more comfortable. I ended up buying the better gear, not cause I needed the extra protection, but mainly cause it just felt better. Anyone else feel like this is the case with protective gear?

I have been an exclusive 3DS wearer for a few years now, and they can be found for a more palatable price with a bit of patience and a saved eBay search. Well worth the effort, in my opinion.

Looks like it's just a promo for their skates to me.

Yes, you pay for what you get and generally more and better quality padding will give you a more adaptable fit.

Perron back with the Blues YET again; I love Perron as a Blue! This is his third or fourth time here...

I’ve had good luck with fiberglass resin

It seems the Ribcor fit has changed 3 times in the last few years. Wider, higher volume RBK, low volume CCM, now apparently higher volume. Keep in mind all of this could be wrong as it was all confusing to me as a consumer.

This is MSH- just get new gear.

Steam works, but is labour-intensive and a bit dangerous. Isopropyl alcohol (99%) sprayed after use is better.
