ean 0 Report post Posted February 12, 2008 Getting back in to hockey, ordered some new crap this week...vapor xxx lite and itech tint visor lol Also, ordering some new gloves this weekend, still not sure what I want...I want my old eagles re-palmed but I was told about $80 for the pair from Hockey Shop or Cyclone Taylor which is ridiculous imo...oh and yes I used to wear those danglers in full contact hockey.Nice setup. I've found that with part of a roll of stick tape you can always repair old mitts with the palms torn up. What's great is that with enough playing the tape seals up so to speak and it becomes like a new palm. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AnthonyJTa 0 Report post Posted February 12, 2008 medical gauze tape? on the handle of these sticks? Judging from the color its that first aid "gentle tape" type stuff. It's pretty much the same thing as Powerflex, minus the width of the roll, etc. You can get it at any CVS or drug store. I use it to wrap up my toe from time to time (ingrowns) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rustpot 1 Report post Posted February 13, 2008 Don't get slashed much, better arm mobility. They attach with velcro straps, I probably wouldn't have permanently removed them. All the benefits of wearing minimal pads with the sternum, clavicle and shoulder protection of a bulky set.I don't wear the shoulders much anyway. They make me really warm and I play no contact college rec, and I don't jump in front of shots. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rustpot 1 Report post Posted February 15, 2008 Just got a new bucket- Vector to replace my aging 4000 that finally cracked behind the ear and is coming apart. Also got 4 new Gatorade bottles, had to throw out my last one as the mold was growing strong. I love the spouts on these bottles, no more pulling the valve open only to bump it on my cage and have it close again. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rustpot 1 Report post Posted February 15, 2008 (edited) Where did you get all those gatorade bottles? I have one of them with the cool valve and I've been looking for more.Toolbarn.com - they were $1.50 each and regular hockey squeeze bottles are $5 at my LHS, so I figured what the hell and got 4. These newer ones don't have the white bar at the bottom for your name, and they don't actually say Gatorade (just have the bolt) but they're just the same as my old ones. I had bought 6 from them before when me and 5 friends all got one. I think shipping was $5 or so, but I also got a saw and a rasp for cutting sticks and extensions and cleaning up/shaping the cut end.I absolutely love these bottles. No pull-spout, no leaking when dropped off the bottle shelf on the bench. Some people with the wide hockey bottles wrap tape on them for a little grip, but the grooves on these are great to grab. Nice and slim so you can get your hand around it. My old one got punished pretty bad. During our weekly midnight drop-in my friend who is a goalie constantly forgot his bottle, so halfway through when I could tell he was dying I'd just chuck my bottle out on the ice and if it didn't make it the next rush would get it to the net and he'd sweep it into the goal before he got a chance to grab it. Never had it break when people shot for the bottle on the net either.Edit- this is not only the cheapest I have ever found them, but shipping isn't too bad. I think 7-11 has them for $2 each if you can find them, but I've never seen them there. I was told about ToolBarn a few years ago on GSBB.

bbruins8 0 Report post Posted February 16, 2008 got these today malkin all star glovesWHERE did you get those?Unreal.Those grafs with the black t-blades look pretty amazing as well.Were the grafs mounted seperately with the black t-blades? How are the tongues on the pair of grafs? Any break down sign yet?Mounted separately yes. Tongues are so so...minor lace bite issues and the boots fit perfectly. Getting used to them though...but still debating swapping the tongues out for a pair of Vic tongues I have off some old school skates. No signs of breakdown yet in the boot, at all...Just the few minor cuts from other skates etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shut up about the helmet.Hey look, equipment!http://img85.imageshack.us/img85/8963/blades0208iw9.jpgIs that all of what you've got from the Mission and Warrior pro stock orders?LHS only stocks black helmets, I wasn't about to go online after they spent a half hour trying to get every bucket in the shop on my head and had a large Vector sent in from their sister store for me to try. I didn't think there'd be this much issue over it, especially when the helmet it's replacing is also black.I'm still waiting on my toy drive stick and my SE from cougarscaptain. Damn slow mail.

ramensandwich 1 Report post Posted February 16, 2008 tbl i like that 4th blade from the left with the flat bottom. what pattern is it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TBLfan 25 Report post Posted February 16, 2008 I sold or traded about 10 blades. What's left are all "toe" curves(the curve isnt a true toe but the majority of the curve is in the toe). From Left to right:Mission "big toe" curve/ Warrior Delmore/ Warrior Kovalchuk/ Warrior AfanasenkovNone are for sale, all were originally from HM. And yes, those are just the ones that aren't already in shafts. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
