I don't think those look at all similar, personally.

yay, finally! Ordering my Reactor 9000 skates when I get paid, and probably the Reactor 7000 pants soon after :)

In Kansas again. I swore I'd never set foot back in this state ever again...

Could you powder coat a re-akt? Sorry getting a bit off topic here ;) EDIT: to make it on-topic, can you powder coat a titanium cage at all? Bauer or CCM?

I couldn't have set that one up any better :)

The new avision ahead elite.

Looks a lot better than the original! I'm slightly concerned about the rounded visor though. A little distortion at the very edges of my peripheral vision, whereas I had none with the original flat visor. We'll see how I like it in a few weeks when the next season starts up. And of course, it needs to not fog up. The original didn't at all, so hopefully this one doesn't either. But that will be the biggest thing to worry about.

2 seconds is a lot longer than you think it is, isn't it?

Super Troopers 2 :D:D:D

Ottawa in a playoff position! Hopefully they can keep on rolling.

The best part is that we're out the deductible unless they can collect from the at-fault driver's insurance. Trouble is, he's from Mexico. Good luck collecting... Mind blowing. So a guy hits me, out of no fault of my own, and I'm out $1000 out of pocket. That's incredible.

Usually only every other day.

Can't wait to try this thing out!

Huh. Which two do you play at? None of the rinks I've ever been to in San Diego DON'T have glassed-in penalty boxes. Those both sound pretty weird. All the ones I've ever played at are NHL style. Benches on one side, penalty boxes and scorekeepers box on the other.

Hahaha :)Between bench and box? Are your penalty boxes on the same side as your player benches?

I guess he's still not over it. But you should have seen the glare from the guy he hit up high last night with a slap shot meant for me. If looks could kill...

Yea, definitely! I'd prefer it, too.

No glass at your penalty boxes? Interesting.

Heh okay, nevermind. Not even close :)

Those actually look quite a bit like Makos. Do they have the flexible knee joint like the Makos do?

Not at all, I can get my leg under me with no issue as a player. I'll be making a video on it this weekend probably, so it will be easier to understand what I'm doing (wrong).

Maria Mountain is THE SHIT. Go watch all her youtube videos! She also has a 14-day butterfly flare challenge, where you work on getting a wider flare if you follow her routine for 14 days. Anyway, my issue is more that when I get up with\, for example, my left leg up first. I don't get my leg under me enough to be able to push my full weight up with that leg, so as a result I end up pushing up with my right foot. Except because I was in the butterfly my right foot is parallel to the ice and I end up pushing up with the inside of my foot, putting a TON of strain on my right ankle. There's been a couple days where going downstairs the morning after a game was difficult because my ankle hurt so much. I'm going to take a video of it since its kind of hard to explain though really obvious when you see what I'm doing that it's bad news. I'm just not sure exactly how to fix it... if its strength, technique, both, or what.

Heh yea I can't even imagine playing without knee pads anymore. The skates aren't too bad. I found going back to player skates way harder than going to goal skates. I'm having some MAJOR issues with getting up that I'm not even sure how to fix.
