Maybe. Though the Model X delays were primarily due to the batteries. But now the Gigafactory is operational so that shouldn't be an issue now. Either way I have an extra car I can drive until it arrives if it gets pushed back.

I really need to do that. Where'd you get them?

What's that? ;)

I hear you. That's why I'm now skating out in rookie league. Can't handle it as a goalie. Even as a skater the complete lack of structure and positioning means a ton of turns and stops and starts from broken plays. D-men have full control of the puck in the defensive zone? Forget about getting open for a pass... Better to just get all the way back because they're sure to cough it up. It's TIRING, even when it's a level or two below where you normally play.

Just happens to line up almost exactly with the end of my current lease :) Also, better than the 2-3 year wait if I hadn't pre-ordered!

Nope, no issues here.

Hah, that video is great. Some pretty good saves in there. Love the ref.

Just pre-ordered my new Model 3! Now for the long wait...

I love my superfeet yellow, and if there's a new and improved version count me in!

Check out the Powerfoot inserts thread. I think there are some Mako users in there.

I use a 2' shoe horn with my VH because they're so hard to get on!

Heh I couldn't even get mine on my feet out of the box!

That's correct. They're referring to a Bauer or CCM, etc. branded oven. Some people will risk it at home, but like I said - most people here won't condone it.

In the chin?? How does that happen?

I don't have my chesty in front of me (in an airport) but I think I may be able to help. To adjust neck height, use the Velcro on the back shoulders. For the floaters, notice that there are TWO sets of attachment points for the straps at the top of the floaters. I too like my floaters pretty close to my chest/shoulders so if I recall, I'm using the outer connection points, done up to about half tightness. I believe Passau is working on a site refresh and I've heard mentions of some adjustment instructions being posted. A video would be nice as well, but we'll see.

The instructions on the box aren't for baking at home. You CAN bake at home (and I have) but as a general rule you're not going to have people on MSH condone it, with the exception of the odd person who thinks they know everything. Mostly because it voids your warranty. So yes, it's doable. But you shouldn't do it.

Followed up one of my worst performances ever at pickup with one of my best games ever in a game. I guess that's how it's supposed to work, right? :) Won 6-2. The first goal on a PK I just missed. I had a new glove and was having a lot of difficulty getting comfortable with it. Second goal was right off a face-off. It was just barely tipped by my D-man. Not much, but enough to put it under my pad instead of into the boot where it was headed. Those slow ones suck. No more goals after that though, so I'm happy.

That sucks :( I always feel bad when we stomp another team, especially when it's a friend of mine in their net. Especially because I know how I'd feel if it was me instead. I've seen some big leads disappear in this league before though so most guys don't let up at all. I just wish they wouldn't cheer when it's 8-1. Luckily the team I'm currently on has some class and generally just plays keep away or dumps it in instead of trying to score more goals once were up by a lot.

Meh, I'm not going to go that far. I'm still going to usually make a moderate effort to make the save, I'm just not going to go out of my way to move all that much (see the goal at 5:56 of the video - I get a kick out of how much they cheered when that went in). Definitely would never skate out of the net. While that sends a message to my D, that's not really fair to the guy on the breakaway who paid for the pickup session. It's not HIS fault my D is useless.

I had step once that was mislabeled like that. Unfortunately I didn't know it was mislabeled until I'd already had them profiled and sharpened (by the company that I bought the runners from). They accepted a return on the runners but I was out the cost of the radius/sharpening.

Honestly had no problem with that. It's an easy save, especially since he got nothing on it. It was only half a windup anyway. I had much more of an issue with the complete lack of defence. I know most will say not to expect D in pickup, but this is a very different type of pickup. USUALLY it's played very much like a game where the D is pretty good. These guys have all played together for literally decades. This particular night though everyone just kept disappearing. Notice at 4:40 the guy who takes the puck out of the net and goes end to end? Yea, he's a D-man. By the end I'd just had enough of it all. If the guys in front of me aren't going to bother trying, why should I? I've never gotten dressed and left so fast after a pickup before. Absolutely fuming. "You stopped going down, were you hurt?" No, I just stopped caring. I'm on the road again next week so I won't be playing. That's probably a good thing as I think I need a break. Going back to playing 3 times a week again was probably a bad idea.

You're fine if you're getting the same FBV cut. If you're switching to traditional ROH you should let him know you have FBV on it now. He may want to crossgrind it.

What a disaster. What you DON'T see in this video is the countless times there were 2-on-1s that DIDN'T result in saves or goals. I'd definitely had enough by the end. I don't think I've ever got changed and out the door so fast in all the time I've been playing goal. I think it's time to take a break from pickups.

These aren't what I have but all Brian's are pretty similar: http://goalie.totalhockey.com/support.aspx?pg_id=7004

Won 3-2. Sloppy, sloppy, sloppy. Couldn't seem to hang on to anything, directly leading to their second goal. Not a great night at all from me. Luckily the team bailed me out and we hung on.
