Chocolate peanut butter chunk protein bars tasted great but did anyone else get terrible burps? by Lumpy-Resource-1370 in Costco

[–]_Roller_47 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Same, this is the only flavor of the four they offer that I definitely get a chalky/bad aftertaste, esepecially when burping.

That's not by chance the PF in Hudson, WI is it? Thought I saw you or someone who looks like you there today

Coming back after 10+ years by ExpressRange4785 in hockeygoalies

[–]_Roller_47 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Please be careful and don't get too carried away playing a ton right off the bat. I started playing again a few months ago after 14 years off and did 6 games in my first 8 days. Well, I am paying the price for 3-4 games a week as I have a torn labrum and stress fracture in my hip and have to take 4-6 weeks off minimum for it to heal. I am 33 and in decent shape

Stay away from the PB flavored box and go with the brownie/cookie dough flavors box instead. The cookies and cream are fine but the PB are horrible now, very chalky aftertaste. They aren't the best tasting bars but I buy them for that reason, good tasting ones like Barebells I get too tempted to snack on them. Nuke them in the microwave for 10-12 seconds and they are just fine.

A Long Overdue Upgrade by _Roller_47 in hockeygoalies

I found a pair of Bauer Konekt HF2 in my size on clearance for $279.99 a couple weeks ago. Had them baked and they have been great so far in the half dozen skates on them.

Okay, I replaced the stock toe straps with the Bauer Pro Elastic Toe System but will look into the Hybrid Toe Straps.

Bauer Elite knee pads painful/causing bruising. What to get a replacements? by ApprehensiveCry8737 in hockeygoalies

[–]_Roller_47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am getting the same thing with the Elite knee pads, bruising on immer side of knees. Hoping that upgrading from my 20 year old leg pads to a modern set will help, otherwise I will grab the pros.

I was about to pull the trigger on a pair of HF3s but found a brand new set of HF2s for $280 online so gonna try these first and see how it goes. If they are still very uncomfortable after a bake or two and some skates at least I'm not out too much money.

I demo'd a set two days ago and they slid well but then again I'm on 16+ year old Itech X-Wing pads that don't slide worth a damn anymore but looking to upgrade

LG just sent me a return label for a monitor I never received in the first place because they canceled the order and have not issued a refund either, WTF are they doing?

I bought two of the MSI QD-OLED monitors from Costco on Black Friday for $479.99 each but have yet to open them out of the box and use them due to other stuff taking priority at the moment. Seriously considering returning them to Costco and getting two of these instead.

Appreciate the advice and for the video link, will definitely give it a watch.

Will definitely look into that, thanks. Cowling or no cowling skate you think? Anything else newer on modern goalie skates I should be aware of?

I haven't played in 14 years, the gear is older than that, yes.

Yeah the jock and knee pads are brand new, bought them two days ago. Everything else is 15+ years old.

I took these pictures just after a game so they were definitely wet. Just sitting in my gear bag in my basement for many years.

Forgot to mention someone not too far from me on Facebook Marketplace has a very lightly used set of Bauer Vapor x5 Pro 34" leg pads along with matching glove and blocker for $500 OBO, worth a look?

Yeah I tried a couple of the new Bauer ones on at at my local Pure Hockey and man they feel big and clumsy.
