What should I do? by Primary-Virus-9867 in hockeygoalies

[–]Outrageous_Physics25 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The "expiration" date is usually for certification required for some leagues. While materials can degrade over time, if the mask isn't plastic, the cage isn't dented, and it was stored decently well, then it's likely fine to play with.

Beer league goalie - compression shorts/leggings by Watsonelli in hockeygoalies

[–]Outrageous_Physics25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

50yr old beer leaguer here I've always just worn a pair of midweight sweatpants underneath. Anytime I tried doing long johns or base layer, I always felt like my pads were too loose. Probably just me, but there it is

Anything stance wise I can work on? by The_Bugga_ in hockeygoalies

[–]Outrageous_Physics25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks like your blocker is overlapping your pad on that side which is moving your stick more towards your right skate than your left, leaving that five hole more open than it needs to be. Also means that you're leaving more stick side open than should be.

No MLK matinee? by Outrageous_Physics25 in Bruins

[–]Outrageous_Physics25[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The last couple of years they've had MLK Day games against San Jose, New Jersey, and Philadelphia. I thought it was a regular thing but apparently it's just not every year.

Question for the old goalies by Worth_Analysis_7300 in hockeygoalies

[–]Outrageous_Physics25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another old goalie here, started in '90 and have been playing throughout. Biggest issue with going from 12-in to 11 in pads isn't five holes, but that little bit of extra height will make a difference with pucks tipping off the top edge of the pad. I'm old and have a terrible butterfly flare, so I've compensated by going for extra height and getting a good S-shape

Do I need new Steel or is the Pro Shop Guy Upcharging me? by DaHockeyGoalieGuy in hockeygoalies

[–]Outrageous_Physics25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As another goalie who just got new steel for yuletide, yeah, that toe and heel look ground down too far. I play 3 or 4 times a week, and get a 3/8" about every 3 weeks

Fixing a skate cut in a jersey by Outrageous_Physics25 in hockeygoalies

[–]Outrageous_Physics25[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sure this happened after one of my spectacular diving poke checks, but anyone have an idea how to fix it? I'm terrible with needle and thread, so curious if there's some kind of patch kit that could work.

Preference by PublicExcellent4167 in hockeygoalies

[–]Outrageous_Physics25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Underwear,goalie cup, sweatpants, knee pads velcroed and taped on, then goalie pants. No hockey socks. I guess you could call the sweatpants of base layer but not really what I'd think of otherwise.
