Just giving some credit to Stephen. I contacted him via the Base website, and he was quick to reply with suggestions and options. I do have a older model Base tapered shaft, 75 flex and the recoil on that thing is great. I pair it with a wood blade to do some off ice training with my team mates the other day, and was really firing off some really hard shots without really leaning into it. I'm tempted to get a couple more shafts and Stephen suggested the Nasty R. Also, I did have an older Base Savoy a few years ago. REALLY stiff blade, and the sharkskin coating was aweseom.

Can Either Of the Base Guys let us know the difference in stick weight between a Grip Gloss finish and a Clear Matte Finish. Also is he Grip Powder Matte durable. Warrior had a Crushed Velvet finish that would wear off pretty quickly (don't like that). Leaning towards the Grip Gloss on a "Nasty". Thanks

A couple pics of our new Tournament Uniforms. They look great URL=http://s1072.photobucket.com/user/Paul_Warriner/media/DesertCup_Game10_11Mar2016-1-11_zpstlr7ya4q.jpg.html][/URL]

The Supernatural is also on the boxy side, although I still find it comfortable in my hands. The Nasty and Nasty R have slightly rounder corners and definitely not boxy.

A-freaking-men!!!! Hopefully you can get your goalie on quite easy soon!

Well, the streak had to come to an end I guess. Last night was the first game in 6 that I allowed more than 2 goals. I was 4-1 in the previous 5, with a 1.39 gaa. The only loss was a 2-1 final score. One of the wins was a 3-2 final that went to a 5 round shootout that I didn't allow any goals. I think I'm playing the best i ever have right now, and still feel like I'm getting better as I play more. I used to have to struggle to keep my gaa under 4. So this has been a pretty impressive stretch by my standards. I got a very good compliment from the team that I was moved to playing D instead of goal. When I said that it was good that we got him because he's better than me, two guys said "no way. You have improved every game, and have been phenominal lately." That felt good. Even last night, which ended 5-3, I played very well. I was scored on by a turnover in the faceoff dot when my defenseman hit the ref in the skates. And their guy put it top corner short side. It was a pretty sweet shot. Second was a deflection off my defenseman's leg because there was too much gap. Ended up going from probably wide to my right, to inside the left post. Third was a giveaway by that same defenseman to a player in the slot at the hash marks. I actually made a spectacular save when he faked a shot and then deked, but the puck ended up rolling out from under me and they put in an open rebound, a la JT's goal against Luongo. Apparently the ref even had his whistle about to blow when the puck came into sight. 4th was a screen by guess who that left too much gap and backed in. I never saw the shot that went bar down and in. 5th goal was another when wonder boy left too much gap and backed in, then moved slightly out of the way at the very last second because he tried to "get out of the way". That shot also went bar down and in. The same player scored goals 2, 4, & 5 on unpressured wrist shots against the same defender. The good thing is that this was for the team that wanted me to try out. So I was interested to see how they would handle a loss where I allowed 5 goals. It couldn't have been better. All they talked about was how well I played and how much worse it would have been with another goalie. They all apologized for the crappy defenseman, and the captain told me after everyone left that they will find something to do with him, but he wouldn't be playing D anymore.

Well there is the industry in ten words or less.

Warrior's closeouts are killing their new products.
