playing post does get annoying.

one session we had 4 goalies. nothing more coufusing is four goalie, in four different jerseys. then they'd change ends in the middle of a play. confused that hell out of me. thought i was going the wrong way.

and muck, the easton synergy is that $$$$ stick you are talking about. i dont know the big deal about it. i use all wood. and my backup stick is a old old braches 8800 aluminum. i would never pay for a synergy

Junkee,

That stick is out of control. 210 bucks.

I am using the TPS graphite thing. I used Sherwoods for ever. I love the Shanahan blade.

Synergy's are like $265 here... $280 for a couple patterns Rolling Eyes

NHWakeRider,

HMMMMMM

Ok, the removed the 2 line pass this year.

Ottawa, Muck

Some of those sticks are freaken crazy expensive. 70 to 400 bucks for a stick? I'll keep playing with my old Easton and my Costco blade that I pay 20 bucks for two I guess. Any blade that has the heal curve is crap, I can't hit the net to save my life with those curves.

I have one from about 6 years ago I think? I love it though, it's a super stiff shaft which is hard to find. I also have a composite for my spare stick. I find that anything to flexible and I miss the net 8 out of 10 shots. hmmm that didn't sound that good did it? Rolling Eyes

Bambamski,

Super stiff,,,,,,

Check out the Louisville TPS RED LITE

I use a XX STIFF. These shafts are killa.

I almost typed, I love stiff shafts. OMG what did I just type?

canadian tire wa sout of 5030s once so my dad and i bought the cheapest one from zellers, like 11 bucks, and then took a sander to it, it had the same amount of flex as a easton bubble flex Jr.

Funny to hear about you guys talking about hockey gear...It is what I do for a living...I work for Mission/Itech in So Cal...Ahh the benefits of not having to pay for gear, sticks, ice time, etc....

My pick this year is Anaheim, Philly, New Jersey, Avs (just because they are my team)...lol

Bambamski · Posted: Sep 14, 2005 12:34 pm Post subject:

Anaheim? Did they sign anyone in the offseason?

8824 · Posted: Sep 14, 2005 12:35 pm Post subject:

Justin 1933,

Hook a brother up.

I just threw out my old ITECH bag and bought a Lauren. Have you seen those?

Since I have an ITECH rep, that plastic liner wasnt good for sh1t. Though my ITECH gloves with the kevlar palm were the best gloves ever. I love those.

So, Hook me up. LOL

E.J.,
See what you get for putting your kid in net so you can shoot on him? LOL

Kid is in pretty good postion though.

Justin 1933 · Soul Rider Joined: 27 Jul 2004 Posts: 364 City: The OC, CA

anytime...I don't have anything to do with the Itech products...I only work on the Mission stuff...Sorry if you don't like the Itech stuff from the past...

As a fellow goalie, I understand your pain with the price of gear...It is expensive...I will tell you this much, our margins aren't that great....

Note….that is just a part time hobby. He informed me after Summer league that he wanted to start skating out as well. “Dad, I’m sick of sitting out there all by myself….think I want to score some goals again.” $500 to get him outfitted in skate out gear and I have another bag in the garage to deal with.

As far as Mission….the Little Man has a M-1 stick….but that is the extent of it…..oh and I also wear M-1 gloves when I skate with him.

Justin 1933 · Soul Rider Joined: 27 Jul 2004 Posts: 364 City: The OC, CA

M-1 gloves = my design....I hope you like them Smile

Alter Ego,

AE,

How can a center like a goalie. It's an oxymoron. In fact, during pick up games I will dress in the room w/ out the goalies.

There are a few goalies I like. Like anyone that shows up at 10:30 for a pick up game.

JK, I just hate the ones with the big mouths.

Justin 1933,

Actually, Mission has been making some pretty kewl stuff. I have seen a ton as of late on the ice.

I have started wearing the inline pants for pick up. I just use shins and a cup and those inline pants work well.

Need an address? JK

Bambamski · Posted: Sep 14, 2005 1:08 pm Post subject:

East
TB
Philly
Ottawa
Boston
Montreal
Islanders
Jersey
Buffalo

West
Vancouver
San Jose
Nashville
Calgary
Colorado
Detroit
Dallas
St. Louis

Thanks,

I have been doing all the design and product for all Mission product for the last 3 years (I have been at Mission for the past 7 years. I stay away from sticks and bladeholders....Leave those two products to the engineers...

Junkee · Posted: Sep 14, 2005 1:10 pm Post subject:

Justin 1933, hook it up with a mission M1 stick...the Hull curve will do. you can have your team mission boys drop it off. they always seem to be intown. Wink

DunDunDun, 5030's are crappy... any stick under 30 bucks at a place like National Sports is usually a p.o.s. and will break quickly if you shoot hard.

I love the Sherwood PMPX 9950's.... probably have about 40 of those suckers

E.J. · Ladies Man Joined: 15 Jan 2003 Posts: 7597 City: Mogadishu

Love the M-1 gloves....fine job Justin.

The Pens were the worst freaken team in the league. Their Defense SUCKED, last time I checked Palffy, Crosby and Leclair weren't defensive specialists. How's Lemieux's defensive skills? If he ever came back over the redline instead of floating around for a break out pass he might be ok. You think Gonchar is going to be the savior? Like I said before, Pittsburg has some more work to do.

MM, Buffalo has some young decent players, they missed the playoffs a couple of years ago if I remember correctly (ninth) and they didn't lose anyone either (they're my darkhorse pick). TO lost how many? Plus their goalie is a washed up 40 year old wannabe these days that has to wear smaller pads this year. Leaf fans better be religious because they'll have to do a lot of praying for God's team. Laughing

The difference between the Sens and the Leafs though, is that the Sens actually have some talent on their team.
