    I’ve been a huge fan of Darn Tough ultralight runners socks. I think that’s the line. Thin, no padding, mid-calf height, and they’re made from wool so they resist odors. Then there’s DT’s lifetime guarantee. Worth every penny

    Nothing beats Darn Tough's warranty!

    I will be back,  there is nothing like it in WA state, with the USD/CAD conversion and sales they have its worth anyone's time. 

    Absolutely. And one of the better goalie sections you'll find anywhere, if you're into that kind of thing.

    I hit the ice tonight after a little over six weeks after a facial fracture. With getting surgery to put plates in to hold my fracture back together it seemed like it would take forever to get back. Very happy to get back tonight. 

    Glad you're back out there, man! Please tell me you put a cage on? :)

    Since IPv6Freely closed my topic for some reason which was rude.  Is it possible to order sticks in a certain spec from Bauer or a smaller manufacturer?  My specs are as follows:

    This is what I'm trying to get

    Stick Hand: RH

    Flex Profile: Bauer g15f (vapor X:60)

    Flex: 82

    Shaft shape: -1 round shaft, like the sherwood ek15 series

    curve: Close toe, Like the old  pro Kovalchuk/Zherdev

    Blade: sharkskin blade

    Stick height: Tall

     

    Which topic are you talking about?

    EDIT: Ah, I had to do some digging. It was just another pointless overseas knockoff stick thread, like this one, from over three years ago.

    Howdy,

    Damn dude, that doesn't sound pleasant.

    You need like a frequent flyer card for medical shit or something.  Like an automatic upgrade to the first class waiting room.

    Mark

    I think in America that's called "hitting your out of pocket maximum".

    Hey at least this is your first time ever in a hosp.... oh, no wait.

    In all seriousness, holy shit. That's crazy. I always think of things like losing a tooth as being "horrible" results of a puck to the face. This is horrible! Hope it goes well and that the tylenol gets upgraded sooner than later! 

    Time for a cage?

    It's also really easy to claim something in china is "made in the same factory". That's probably a factual statement. The part that is missing is whose materials, tooling, and processes, and QA are they using because it's not uncommon at all for multiple companies to share factory floor space but thats very different from being from the same production line.

    They didn’t use the redline for offsides (2 line) passes. Still not sure how they judged icing though.  

    Maybe the way they do it in some tournaments (and personally I'm in favor of this for lower division beer league too) where icing is called from your own blue line instead of the red line. I like it because if you get out of your own zone and manage to ice it, its usually just a missed pass or not reaching the red line. Keep the game flowing, I say.

    I never understood why they didn't make the goal crease a semi-circle again after they dumped the stupid foot-in-crease rule. They cut off the sides of the circle so you wouldn't have goals waived off because somebody was standing beside the net, but never put it back. Always seemed odd to me.

    Some good info in the OG "starting goalie as an adult" thread here: 

    Some of it is going to be outdated now (leather straps and skate cowlings are dead). 

    Maria Mountain is a good resource for everything related to the body - stretching, warmups, etc. https://www.youtube.com/@goalietraining

    There was also a DVD series I bought when I first started. Its a bit old but still covers fundamentals pretty well. I ripped it because I dont have a DVD player: 

     

     


    Finally, I'd HIGHLY recommend using a gopro behind the net. If you're not gonna have a coach, it will help you be able to see what you do wrong, mistakes, angles being off, etc.
