I actually just found my 9000s when i was cleaning out a closet yesterday. When I bought them they were the only thing i could find in a tall. Probably going to switch from my Tackla girdle back to pants.

The old stuff is great design-wise. Nexus gloves and other 4 roll styles havent chamged a whole lot from the old Cooper BDP Pro style.

Isn’t that some auto generated default? I don’t remember choosing a name and only realized a couple days ago My name on there is some variation of that.

Wow, that was the old design when I was a kid! Nice! There some new BDP Pros I am tempted to grab right now, love the old stuff.

I just got back into playing this past year so I am getting back into the gear side a bit just because my stuff is old and kind of nasty. I still like browsing gear but not like when i was a kid where i always knew where the Great Skate, Ocean, and Kemps catalogs were in my house 24/7. Now it seems like a gear race with manufacturers constantly releasing new models with probably very minimal benefits. That actually gets boring to me compared when a new skate model was kind of a big deal.

I can’t see them doing anything about it. No doubt he launches upwards and he is a piece of garbage but too close to call. Patience, it is only a metter of time before he screws up again.

Stadium jerseys are hideous. But I am apparently the only person who likes the Jets thirds. In fact, i am getting a t-shirt with the logo. Simple design with a script to me is always classy.

Yeah, basically want to keep the same height and feel, use the same length stick, etc. Will probably get some skating ones and then add a few at a time here and there.

The trm “negative space” refering to skates. So many rip on marketing jargon then use this term to sound knowledgeable. So, is negative space actually a pressure point? If not, then it is just excess space...

I am planning on buying some HockeyShot tiles for the driveway. I was leaning toward the Synthetic Ice tiles vs the regular Dryland All-star tiles not so much to work on skating but just to be able to wear skates when we shoot and mess around. A couple of questions: 1) if i am not worried about skating could i just wear skates on the regular tiles? 2) if i need the synthetic ice tiles, are the thicker ones more stable (by that i mean heavier, flatter regardless of the surface underneath)? (Doesnt look like it as they only seem to be 1/32” thicker than the regular ones)

Yeah the sensor is in the puck. IPv6, i think people told me they do that with auto racing where you can go to the website and pick a car and have all the data on your screen.

They did the bar under the score graphic as well at times and yeah, it worked well.

I thought the weird stripe looked bad but otherwise it was a cool way to include each teams logo, i liked it. Not a fan of Michigan’s or Notre Dame’s.oom in that pic. it was funny to see Crosby getting ready in what appeared to be taped and patched up Rbk/Jofa shoulders and elbow pads. Stuff probably reeks. When was that stuff out of production. For all the new gear at the asg i thought it stood out.

So they used it a bit yesterday for the All-star game. I think it is cool for quickly resolving goals and offsides, but the Fox puck thing was annoying. My eye was actually drawn to the gray streak and away from thr player with the puck. Also, when they captioned each player it made it like a video game. With 3-3 it was bad enough, 5-5 there is the potential to cover more of the screen or obstruct the action, even momentarily. Potential for the above scenarios and post game insoghys, but they need to chill with the in-game stuff if they implement it.

Methinks she takes beer league a bit too seriously...

Looks like a hyperactive designer just started doodling and they went with it. Is there any component on that skate that they didn’t embelish? You have carbon fiber texture and swooshes and colors and stitching and uggg, I have to stop. It’s like the Vanilla Ice of hockey skates.

My daughter and son got a Pens calendar as a late Christmas gift and Malkin has two Bauers on. Funny thing is, Malkin is playing pretty bad right now and still manages like 14 points in 11 games or something.

Malkin said today he is a headcase. Beat reporter the other day said that for the past month Malkin has been non-stop messing with his skates at practice. Maybe he is just looking for something to get his game back.

Interested in this as well. I borrowed a pair of Easton’s a couple months ago and loved them precisely for the fact that they were so “tailored”. I was thinking STX Surgeons might be similar?

I saw that. Wonder how long he has been doing it. Considering how he has played the last couple of months maybe he should change it up... 🙂

Not sure, i noticed it when he scored his goal and then the rest of the period (3rd). You could be right, we’ll see next game.

Good points, i was more surprised by the two different brands though. I can’t imagine some of the gear geeks being able to sleep at night with non-matching gloves! 🙂

I don’t really follow players equipment too much but tonight Malkin has a CCM glove on one hand and a Bauer on the other. Not sure if there is a story behind it but i thought he wore Bauers. Anyone ever see that before? It is a road game but i assume they have enough spare equipment with them to handle most situations.

I agree on the fighting part. I don’t think it is that confusing as far as head hits though, despite what some players say.. some of the arguments i hear defending questionable hits are pretty farfetched. But this is probably straying from the main topic of this thread...

But if you want to reduce or get rid of them, given that you won’t get it perfect, erring on the side of caution is fine with me.
