Saw didn't make all that many pairs for TPS; a couple of hundred tops. They eventually used those same patterns and dies to make Easton gloves for both Robitaille and Tkachuk, both guys having switched to Easton at the time. Perfect example of how using the same patterns and dies doesn't always equate to a similar feel.
Shortly after that, Easton purchased Saw Sports, and Guy still runs the factory there.
IMPO, the HGPs made in the Philippines had a better feel to them as they made them to more of the HGT/R8 feel, yet, still with the nice HG1 feel. The Saw fingers were really stiff and the palm almost felt too small for the glove it was going into (I still have a pair).
If you don't want them, mack might...
Thanks for all the great info!

I'd say a lot depends on where they were made; Canada or Philippines. Believe it or not, the HGP's made in the Philippines had a far better feel than the Canadian made glove.
Those gloves aren't 15". They are the true 14 1/2" that the HG1s were, as they use the same patterns and dies.
The inner tags have a scan code sticker that says HG1-FLA which I was happy to see.
Printed on one tag was Made by Saw Sports Inc. The only "made in" I can find is the hand crafted in canada on the side.

I really shouldn't have got these, but they were so cheap on ebay.
(These are the ebay photos)
I always regretted getting rid of my HG1s. Even though these are 15s they still feel pretty good.

After a crapy work situtaion lately, playing a good well matched game feels pretty excellent. Not to mention a goal for myslef last night. (That's not a common thing)

Just found out a team got moved up to the next division in our outdoor league in central park, means we are down to 7 teams and my team gets the bye this week. Since we didnt play last week cause of thanksgiving thats 2 weeks of no Friday night hockey in a row.
On the flip side, we're in the lowest level division, and word on the street is that this team had a few ex college guys on it, our last game was an overtime struggle to beat a team that these guys absolutely smoked, so its probably good that they got moved up.
I hate bye weeks.
Yeah but you're playing outside in central park. That's pretty awesome.

Those old vapors are great looking. I tried to make a used pair work for me but they were just too narrow.
-
I'm loving the black holders. I've wanted to do the same thing for a while to mine. can't justify doing it unless I break a holder, then all bets are off :)
Same here , and with my beer league play i don't see a holder breaking anytime soon.

1st game since may in 3 hours!
My skateting is going to be awesome.

1 wwek to go to get back on the ice after the summer off. I am sure I'll be sucking wind after an lazy summer - but I can't wait to get back out there.

I have a pair of those z-airs, but mine had been used. Great gloves!

The flames Gen 1 Z-ars are amazing.
I'm done over buying gloves, but those would be tough to pass up.

Taking the summer off from hockey.
Just too many upcoming time commitments. Not happy, but better than losing money skipping games.
-
New gloves. Palms need work and theyre a little long, but I loved the z-air and figured why not.
Richards? I have a pair of his that are great, but could use some new palms.

Winner, Winner, Chicken Dinner! Looking forward to getting these shortly.
Cool.
i was eyeing those too. But I need to shrink my gear collection, not expand it. those would have been to have around to breakout from time to time.
-
Those RS gloves are great!
I am looking forward to trying on the retails.

This dammed warm weather!
My local pond tourney has already be postponed from the first weekend of the month. Now it's warm again, I wonder if the ice can hold out this week.
-
On the CA9 girdle, is the built in cup removable for washing?
I tried to find info on this, but any video that might address this is blocked here at work.

There was supposed to be a pond hockey tourney the first weekend of Jan (6-8) but it has been postponed until later in the month. This weather sucks! Who woulda thought it would be too warm for ice in January in Wisconsin?

Minor annoyance at work. In the depths of the IT department they are turning up the internet filters. Suddenly photo sharing sites like flickr and photobucket are blocked, but the streaming video on NHL.com works. All of my internet radio now doesn't work either. Ah well.
Nothing like blanket solutions in a big company.

Nothing to show off yet, but I ordered some lightning pro stock pants from tblfan yesterday
does tblfan still post here?

Still pissed I had to drop out of Winterfest.
Slight silver lining, things are getting better but I still have to watch my money better than I used to.

Most people don't know about library science degrees. I was only aware because a friend's mom is/was a librarian.
As Drew said, it's not an easy degree with some pretty dry studies (data, metadata). There is also much more variety in specialties librarians can have than I ever knew.

That's great 5 Minute, best of luck to your mom.
Several months after getting her Masters in Library Science, my wife has is now a Librarian 1. It's only part-time, but it's real experience and she finally got her foot in the door of what she went back to school for. Now we just have to figure out how to make this all work with one car!

Unemployment sucks!
I lost my job in June and didn't think I would still be looking at this point. Watching the hockey season start up again juts adds salt to the wound. At least I am on a roster so if I do get something as soon as the insurance kicks in I can get back on the ice.
