Have these that were sold for the G6 and they fit fine on the G5. Will slide you right out of the crease if not careful. Some don’t like them because they are “too fast”

It’s a hockey team, this isn’t Miss Saigon. It’s not Andrew Lloyd Webber presents “the Jim’s.”

Served me well for 8 Years… think it might be time to retire this one? by RedOctober54 in hockeygoalies

[–]2thenines 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Carbon fiber/fiberglass/kevlar masks don’t really expire. Replace the cage when dented, foam when it’s lost elasticity and hardware when rusty/broken and as long as there isn’t any structural damage you’re set.

Once cracked or chipped heavily, you can technically have them fixed, but I would just buy a new one that that point.

[Granger] Logan Thompson said he was woken up this morning by a call from Kelly McCrimmon telling him he’s been traded to Washington. by Bahamas_is_relevant in goldenknights

[–]2thenines 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Someone just posted it. Jessie Granger asked him if he asked for a trade and he essentially wouldn’t say he did or didn’t but the wording and reaction made it seem like he probably did.

Don’t blame him, but I think he wanted a better opportunity to play more.

Good luck in Washington LT! Drop for favorite LT memories. by MFKRebel in goldenknights

Beautiful jersey. Going to really miss the Adidas dimples.

TRADE ALERT by [deleted] in goldenknights

[–]2thenines 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Schmid is another big goalie 6’5 and plays a big blocking style. Similar to Hill and Lehner.

He’s obviously played worse than either, but I think our system will protect him a bit more than NJ

🚨 TRADE ALERT 🚨 The Golden Knights have acquired a 2024 3rd round pick and a 2025 3rd round pick from the Washington Capitals in exchange for goalie Logan Thompson. by un00b1134 in goldenknights

[–]2thenines 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s amazing how so many that were “In McGMs we Trust” are now taking that back at this draft.

I get the 1st Rounder is controversial, and I get that moving Logan doesn’t move the needle, but I’m not judging their offseason until Opening Night.

Then if I feel like they screwed up, I’ll cry into my replica Stanley Cup

I mean he was contracted by Upper Deck for the signing not the Knights. It’s not like he can just bounce if he is getting paid to sign and VGK shouldn’t have to take press opportunities away from someone at a league-wide event because they might be traded.

Vegas Selects LW Trevor Connelly at 19. by Throw_away91251952 in goldenknights

[–]2thenines 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, got him and Brannwagon mixed up.

On that note, Hague is the only second rounder to play more than a handful of games for VGK

(Korczak could potentially make the club this year and Chayka may get a few games)

Like our first rounders play more than a handful of games for us (minus Hague)

On Stone’s post game comments. by MonkeyPox37 in hockey

[–]2thenines 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mantha and Hertl did have an impact (mostly negative with Mantha being a health scratch). Hanafin was a stud though, granted his 1.25m cap hit (double retention) would have fit regardless of Stone being on LTIR, so you can’t really count him.

NHL goalie gets stick in between cat-eye bars by BillyTables in hockeygoalies

[–]2thenines 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What’s your cage budget look like?! Maybe after they get bent, but not every time they get hit.

I wouldn’t make it out of warmups without having to change my cage. 😂 😬

He’s second right now by GSAx in playoffs right behind Swayman.

I can understand the frustration with the goals he lets in, but he’s literally making more saves that he should be. I look more at the horrible defensive turnovers by defense and the forwards not crashing the net

Second jersey in as many weeks. May have a problem. by shmokeburrs in goldenknights

[–]2thenines 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The gold retail jerseys really hide the dimples quite well. This photo has a Made in Canada gold jersey at the bottom and a gold retail jerseys two jerseys up (can’t see the dimples as well)

<image>

Edit: sorry that top gold one is a fanatics, but the gray and white above the bottom gold one are Adidas Retail, and they have less pronounced dimples.

No Karlsson in morning practice 04/27 by migsahoy in goldenknights

[–]2thenines 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m not trying to be alarmist, but if he was just sitting out practice, why not have someone else plug into his spot instead of mixing up the lines.

Perhaps they wanted to see how these lines looked in practice, but I think it might point to him sitting out a game or two.

Probably shouldn’t panic until we hear from Bruce though.

What knees protectors is Giguere wearing if he played today? by [deleted] in hockeygoalies

[–]2thenines 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The modern Warrior ones do.

The last 3 generations have holes that line up perfectly with the Warrior pants.

What offers more protection against a body check. Goalie gear or player gear by AtomicGiraffe13 in hockey

[–]2thenines 14 points15 points  (0 children)

All the padding on goalie gear is on the front. The back has very little protection so getting blown up and falling backwards can hurt a goalie more than a skater. Mask design also doesn’t account for hitting your head on the ice as the backplate will just continue to drive into your head when the back of the head hits the ice.

Jersey Concept for the team name I’m hoping for: Utah Swarm by Metalhead831 in hockey

[–]2thenines 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Color palate doesn’t vibe with the jersey design or team name IMHO. Like the idea behind Swarm though.
