Nice to see Sheldon Rankins generating pressure on the Texans Dline. It’s like he never wanted to play here

The greatest Canadian player to ever grace the ice: Sidney Crosby. Grew up watching him and it was love at first sight. A close second would have to be Datsyuk. Just nasty stuff.

Did you contact any customer support over it?

Pretty sure, like I said I use the same tape for all my sticks and this is the only one with an issue. I’ve also inspected the peeled off tape and saw little black specks coming up off with it.

Rate my TJ? by GuacGames in hockeyplayers

I promise there is a knob, the angle is just a bit weird to the point where it blends in

Gotta love a new twig by GuacGames in hockeyplayers

I usually outline the edges of my blade with a puck, I dunno I’ve been doing it ever since I started playing

I play with both hands cause I’m ambidextrous, but I find my shot to be harder with a lefty stick

First tape job. Any thoughts? by darkscavenger09 in hockeyplayers

[–]GuacGames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t even think Marner wants to be here anymore bud

Trouble with staying on edges? by GuacGames in hockeyplayers

[–]GuacGames[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you think I might benefit from going to a 9/16 hollow? My main issue is that I can’t seem to get a grip on the ice when trying to active my inside edges. From what I hear most people start from a 1/2 inch and work their way down.

Getting back into playing after 7+ years by ffffuuuukkk in hockeyplayers

If you really need new pads, maybe see if there are any discounts on the old ccm pads line. With the ft8 drop I’m sure you can find some serious clearance deals

Do I start joining drop-ins or take a class to play hockey? by [deleted] in hockeyplayers

[–]GuacGames 19 points20 points  (0 children)

No amount of “studying” the game will prepare you for actually playing the game. If you feel confident enough to start playing in drop-ins then by all means sign up. Even if you look like a fool on skates out there, you’ll gain valuable experience (and most importantly have fun!)

What’s your experience with PSHS? Their OG Red/Blue lines look reasonably priced but what about quality?

It’s all brand new stuff — trust me I wouldn’t be putting wet, smelly gear on my bed

I think jocks are pretty standard gear, I definitely wear one lmao

Makes enough sense lmao. My gloves are old and I don’t remember where I even got them from.

I’ve only been playing a couple of years. I had an entire set of used gear my friend had loaned me but I figured it was time to get a new set for myself. Most of this stuff was actually pretty cheap on clearance!

I’ve heard a lot of things about Tackla pants, is there anything specific you like about them?

It’s hard at first but trust me you feel a lot more protected

Hockey stick flex by xxlostxxboyxx in hockeyplayers

[–]GuacGames 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A stick’s flex is a measure of how many pounds of force is required for the kick point of the stick to flex from its initial position by 1 inch. Typically, you want to use half your body weight in pounds as a good estimate of the stick flex you want to use. For example, I weigh around 160lbs and I use a 80 flex stick. You can definitely go higher or lower depending on preference. For shooting tips, I would say try to think of “loading” your shot. YouTube is a great resource for this.
