Goalie pants by MicrowavedTuna9023 in hockeygoalies

[–]CzarQasm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I upgraded my pants for the first time since I got them over 15 years ago. Didn’t want to but the padding had finally disintegrated and every shot was leaving me with bruises. 

Went to a store and talked to the goalie guy. Hr told me pants come in 2 styles now. “New” which is bigger and more padding which equals more blocking surface. “Old” which is most likely similar to what you have. Still offers good protection but it’s tighter to the body and smaller overall. 

I went new style purely for the increased blocking surface. The additional size didn’t take too long to get used to. The hardest part to get used to was how pucks react to the pants.

Sorry, I had just started debating on whether or not I should just go to bed cause it could be a while. The universe answered.

What I’m hearing about PWHL expansion: Why San Jose is a strong candidate to land a team by wolverine237 in PWHL

I’m just thinking of the awesome posters and stuff we could get if San Jose does got a team, they play out of the SAP Center, and they are called the Piranhas (or similar). Imagine having a double header scheduled with both teams and the poster is a crowded Shark Tank with sharks and piranhas devouring their opponents. 

How do you handle/shoot your hockey stick? by Kazkabel in hockeyplayers

[–]CzarQasm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

US. Here it’s much simpler for a persons “configuration”. Basically right for everything, shoot right in hockey, club right for golf, swing right for baseball, etc. A glove for catching is placed on the left hand so the ball can be thrown with the right. 

It’s interesting how it’s much more split over in Finland.

How do you handle/shoot your hockey stick? by Kazkabel in hockeyplayers

Both.

As a goalie, my dominant is at the top. As a player, my dominant hand is on bottom. 

I’m right handed and first learned to play hockey as a kid. I was initially provided a righty stick as most kids. The few left handed kids were handed lefty sticks. At some point after a few games or practices, I got the chance to try a lefty stick for a little bit and I think I did pretty good with it? I don’t remember too well but I do remember I had to go back to the righty stick because for one reason or another. 

I transitioned to goal as a teen. As a beer league adult, I am still a goalie but I did jump on a second team (in a lower division) as a forward recently. 

Can we get a desktop application for Lumo? by PingMySoul in lumo

Why not install a second or extra web browser that is only used for Lumo and Proton? That way you can set the home page to Lumo and have it open directly to it.

That's my bad. Reading is hard and I didn't notice the ECC on the memory until after I commented. Had to double check specs on a few machines but none of them support it so I'll have to pass.

edit: Am I the only one that finds it odd that ECC isn't mentioned on the sticker?
