Its seems "those" are working pretty well for him...

he could do better

[lampliter87 8]

Yup, you're right. He's garbage. He's terrible. He needs a new stick so he can play better. C'mon buddy.

[kovalchuk71 212]

Hes just wondering why he uses a giant highlighter. He wasn't calling him bad.

[Cove 38]

Seems like nobody is using those new logo rbk buckets

[firestud17 0]

just saw someone with it in senators game

[Cove 38]

a lot more of the old ones. I was watching the leafs rangers game and didn't see one.

[firestud17 0]

they don't need a new helmet every 3 months (unless it breaks) so I am not surprised.

No, but they are supposed to use a new one every season. Evidently they aren't doing that or the teams have a decent amount of leftovers.

[TBLfan 25]

haha the Lightning have a bunch of 8Ks sitting around untouched... Think they thought more guys would like it.

I saw a few one95s last season and I think I saw a S15. Personally, I think they should be in all black skates... Too bad not too many companies are jumping at the chance to get their skates on ref's feet or maybe they would black out some skates.

I honestly don't know why they are being soo lax with the referee skates right now.

umm, because officials belong in properly fitting skates just as everyone else. They cant help it if the skates arent black. It's what's out there, and it's what fits.

These fourth liners are like clones! same skates, same pants, same helmet.. 3 of them have the same gloves

You mean Grafs aren't the solve-all best fitting most comfortable skate ever made? News to me.

So, who's gonna tell Big George that Baby Blue (or Bleu if you will) is a sissy colour?

his eyes are in there too. Only thing not protected is his nose. Its plenty of protection, these guys don't wear full face guards.

And half of it's protecting his helmet screws...

The only way his eyes are covered is from a straight-on impact - anything on more than a 30 degree angle down is going right up in there. Oh well - whatever works.

Actually they do need a new helmet more often than you think. The helmets are replaced often during the season due to airplane travel. High altitude pressure on helmet plastic and internal guts effects the life of the helmet.

At least he's got his chin strap nice and tight.

I wouldn't classify that as "plenty" of protection. Here's "plenty" of protection -

damn thats almost full facial protection!

[RadioGaGa 162]

When you've almost lost an eye once....I'd guess you tend to err on the side of caution.

i think heatley's crash in atlanta reminded him of what can happen if you don't protect yourself.

good for him!

Yeah, good for him.

All he did was kill his teammate.

naw, i mean you're an idiot. if you're allowed to be a prima donna about your gloves and skates, i figure the guys getting paid the big bucks to officiate deserve to be in a skate they feel comfortable doing their job in.
