yeah but you forget that I know YOU. you're not so pretty to begin with.
-
it's pretty ancient. they made visor/cage combos, full visors, half visors and full cages. I still have several of the cages that I never got around to wearing. loved the cage but at some point I got a new helmet and couldn't make it fit correctly.
-
best pic I could find on Google: it clipped on the front and locked. if you needed air or water or whatever you just pivoted it up since there were no straps to unsnap. I would never wear just a visor. even in higher levels pucks can still deflect up and take out your teeth. not worth it.
-
mine was one of those ZLeader half cage/half visor things that pivots up. damn that thing was heavy!
-
I started out with a visor but switched to the cage because I got sticked right in the face (no call!!) and the gash was so big I couldn't even buff it out. :(

George's is offering digital now?

I forget the total but the soakers themselves were something like $30 and then I added names and numbers for a few dollars extra. I like bright soakers so I don't forget to take them off before stepping on the ice. I used to get tiger striped ones made by A&R but you can't find those anymore except for the puffy ones made for figure skaters. :(

custom skateguards made for me by Junkyard Athletic: a small piece of custom gear that makes me feel like a rockstar! here's their webpage for you newbies: http://www.junkyardathletic.com I'm beginning to think there's nothing they can't do.

I've wanted a pair of "practice" pants from Miracle for years. finally snagged a pair!
-
a friend of mine has the Kings version. nice gloves for the money.
-
found at my local Play It Again Sports for $35: palms are in great shape but a little stiff. might re-do them in digital.
-
glad that guy took a more reasonable amount than what he first listed them for. not my cup of tea with the home/away thing but....a lot of the guys selling pro stock Franchises will actually take quite a bit less if you use the "make offer" button.

for me the MLX/Mako concept isn't about how good a skater you are, it's about comfort. I spent almost a year trying to transition from Vapor 8's to a new pair of Vapor XXXX's then I bought my first pair of MLX. after baking, one public skate session and 1 period of a beer league game I was ready to make them my permanent skates. took a deal from a rep on a new pair of Makos but I don't have them yet. my friends that are moving to Milan later this year, the wife skates in MLX's so you'll probably get to at least see those up close. :)

this topic has been dormant far too long! less than a month from production confirmation to delivery, no rush charge!

I like the feel of the AK27's but can't stand the sublimation so I used India Ink to black out most of mine: I have since solved the problem of the one shiny finger.
-
some stores already have them. even the little pro shop at my main rink has 4 pairs already and they have very little gear overall.

I've had good service from Ice Warehouse: http://www.icewarehouse.com/ -
yep

from Russia with love! definitely not up to Warrior quality but still a nice (and unique) glove.
-
most officials associations require refs to wear skates that are all black or predominantly black, especially if you want to move up within the organization and do higher level games. refs are also strongly encouraged to have plain white (no dots at all) laces.
-
sports2k.com another board that deals with mainly pro stock hockey gear.
-
people said the same thing about the MLX too but when a skate fits as well and protects as well as this, you really don't care how ugly it is.
-
you got those for a bargain off of Ebay! I was watching that auction because I was curios to see what they'd go for since I just got a pair of the same model Team USA gloves.
