seagoal Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 Haha, saw this on Twitter: NHL: No problem, let's go. Promote it, show it off. NHL: Too far. Honors "a group." Fines incoming. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you watch him play he squishes them down all the time when getting up after whistles and he likes them to flex (twist) torsionally. He's more old school, for sure . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's fun seeing old early 2000's Junior league pictures. The difference in how goalies looked and the gear as a whole is a fun reminisce. You do forget how much has changed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, you an see the thigh rises curling down even standing upright or in stance in most of those. Lots of boots wrapping down around skates, too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would drop them down or have them loosen, then strap the rest of the pad rather tight (which was kind of impossible not to do in the V1). I feel like pads finally caught up to how I liked them to feel back then only in the last few years. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The side you circled has more to do with his leg positioning with his heel being driven down and pointing his toe up more by choice.

My G6s haven't really gotten the curve I'd hoped they would Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was more circling for emphasizing how the squishy boot is wrapping around the skate rather than the toe tie. I see you're new here too, welcome, thanks for joining.

I always saw that as intentionally breaking down your pads early. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always saw that as intentionally breaking down your pads early. Many pads have a lot of lacing cord that is pretty loose. My dad would pull the cord tighter to add more curve to his pads, which is something I have done to mine. I would find anywhere from 2-6" of lacing cord when tightening it up, and that isn't stressing the cord, even. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
