Skates: CCM 852 Stick: Bauer one75 Only played 2 games so far, one against NCSU D2 club (my school is D3 club), and we got KILLED, 11-1. I only played 2&3, still had 5 goals scored on me, should have only been 3 though. i had 2 shots from past the red line that went in, first one i wasn't ready for, no clue what happened. 2nd time, ever seen that video of i think the minnesota goalie where the puck bounces on him? yeah.....Somehow I managed to get those out of my head and fared better the rest of the night.

Good thing too because ive taken my fair share of head shots. My cage has survived some heavy shots, including my brother who played juniors and number 21 from that video who has a shot as big as he is. although it is time for a replacement, probably a hackva once i can afford it. _________________ Efe Minors Joined: 24 May 2008 Posts: 278 Location: Turkiye Posted: Tue Sep 22, 2009 2:38 am    Post subject: How're you liking the 6000s Goose? _________________ Efe Smith Hockey... great stuff!

I don't like the knee lifts at all, and the knee pads are quite uncomfortable for me, but the pads don't fit when i don't wear them. I took off the knee lock strap, had to cut off the velcro too because it was messing up the nylon thigh strap, and its a little bit better and more comfortable. I think I would have been better off going with some newer ULs or maybe the bauer x60 series. BUT quality and protection is still amazing, obviously Pete makes great pads, just not for me. I do love the glove and blocker, much better than my old Itech 7.8s. The palms are so soft and comfortable, and the glove broke in incredibly quickly. And the blocker hasn't started falling apart yet unlike the 7.8 where the sticting on one of the fingers came undone like the first week i had it. _________________ caveman27 Minors Joined: 05 Jul 2008 Posts: 167 Posted: Tue Sep 22, 2009 6:18 pm    Post subject: Re: Goose's 09/10 season Goose28 wrote: Only played 2 games so far, one against NCSU D2 club (my school is D3 club), and we got KILLED, 11-1.

Wow, 6 goals in the first period. That video footage was good to see. The other team was moving the puck well. All I can say is practice taking shots from the red line. It's something your teammates can work on too instead of just dumping into a corner. It worked on you, unfortunately.

ANYWHO, basically all I got was really pissed I didn't play. _________________ Goose28 College Joined: 12 May 2009 Posts: 85 Location: Raleigh, NC Posted: Wed Oct 28, 2009 7:32 pm    Post subject: Soo my season is basically shot right now. I haven't really played because I hurt my back/leg playing soccer so I missed the last 2 weeks, and I'm also going to miss my games this weekend because I have to go get my back looked at again... boooo. _________________ Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First         Goalie Forum Forum Index » General Discussion All times are GMT - 2 Hours Page 1 of 1   Jump to: Select a forum Goalie Equipment----------------Goalie Equipment ReviewsUsed Goalie Equipment For SaleGoalie Equipment Chat Goalie School----------------Goalie DrillsBetween the Pipes The Locker Room----------------NHL GoaliesGeneral DiscussionGoalie NewsGeneral Hockey Talk  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum Copyright © Goalie Forum.com.
