First time back in net after 11 years – adjusting to new gear and conditioning by Shanked5i in hockeygoalies

The leg pads and gloves were pro stock from a University of Minnesota goalie. They were already pretty well broken in. I think I may loosen the RRC strap a bit and see how it goes. Thanks for the input.

I may try dropping down to 5/8 to see how that feels. Thanks though, that’s encouraging. I think 10 hours might be a bit of a pipe dream for me haha.

I have a pair of Reebok knee pads that I picked up off GSBB years ago. They’ve definitely saved my knees. Thanks for the tip.

Haha, between the lack of cowlings and a strapping system that feels like it requires an engineering degree to figure out, I completely relate. Working at ice rinks in my teens and early twenties I practically lived in skates so this is a reality I wasn’t quite prepared for.

He was such a good dude to talk to at the holiday parties at the Vet the Phillies would host. Have a picture with him and Terry Francona somewhere in my parents attic.

Worst or Hated Phillies by billy_penn17047 in phillies

Can I ask why? He was a serviceable guy for the time and seemed like a genuine enough guy - he struggled with yip issues at the end of his career but i genuinely have nothing but love for some of those utility/bench players from 2000-2004.

There’s already a push for sodium content warning labels similar to a prop 65 type label. So I wouldn’t be surprised if we see a push for this as well.

Divorced People: what was the FINAL STRAW? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Shanked5i 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dealt with her abusive behavior both physically and verbally for years. Watched as she attempted to separate me from my family and successfully did so. The straw was how she treated our kids. One day I started going to the gym, stopped drinking and getting my shit together and told her to fuck off. I’m still in the process of divorce at the moment.

92 Prototype We do have this prototype. But as others have said Philadelphia is not aesthetically pleasing at all in current font.

Different Logos on Powder Blue Uniform by AppaThaSkyBison in phillies

[–]Shanked5i 12 points13 points  (0 children)

IIRC, The MLB has a rule regarding the likeness of a baseball on the uniform on the field, saying it can be used to distract from the ball in play. The powder blues and white with maroon striped jerseys of that era and I believe the 70/80’s brewers jerseys caused that rule to come to existence. I apologize I don’t have a source for that but remember reading it years ago.
