#386920 Recent Pick-ups

Posted by Firebrand on 17 August 2023 - 09:12 PM in Pro Stock Hockey Gear

Jesus... I about jumped out of my chair when I first glanced at that. I almost thought those Jets 2S Pros were Whalers to go along with those Nexus pants. That would've been about as close to my dream setup as I could imagine.




#386900 The "thats cool but i dont need it" on Ebay thread

Posted by Firebrand on 16 August 2023 - 04:42 PM in Pro Stock Hockey Gear

Back when these first came out, I regarded them as one of the most gorgeous pairs of skates ever made. Even after all these years, I haven’t seen much of anything that’s changed my mind. If only they were a few sizes bigger…

#386853 The "that's @#!$& ridiculous" on ebay thread

Fuck this guy. I've bought from him in the past and he has failed to disclose damage to gear and deliberately set up pictures so damage is not visible (I'm talking holes in palms, a rip in a shell). Now he bought up a bunch of VGK gloves from PSH that gave been sitting for 190 and jacks up the price.


Thirded. If it weren't for all the sticks he had, his entire business model - if you could call it that - would be predicated on snapping up gloves from PSH the minute they go up and then flipping them at a mark-up. There's a special place in hell for predatory scalpers like this.

Speaking of dishonest sellers on SLS: https://sidelineswap...-used-gloves-14

Yeah, they're game-used alright... by me. I know this because I bought these earlier this year to use briefly when my go-to pair of gloves was getting repalmed. I was lucky to make back most of what I bought them for (maybe around $100?) and they're fine gloves and all, but no need to lie to people about them.




#386447 2023-2024 Pro Stock Sightings

that's like some low level beer league crap.

At least these have a clever name and make me laugh. The actual Anaheim ones just fill me with cynical, existential dread.

Some jets heritage ultrasonic with 2s cuff


I've seen gloves like these before and I'm almost 100% sure these are just rebadged 2S Pros. Pretty sure Ultrasonics don't have a three piece index finger, but I stand to be corrected.




#386254 Vapor Hyp2rlite equipment teaser

Posted by Firebrand on 09 June 2023 - 03:48 PM in Hockey Gear

Don't know, but hopefully it's a whole hell of a lot better than the blade core tech they used in the first Hyperlite. Nowhere to go but up, I suppose.




#386231 Calgary Flames

Posted by Firebrand on 07 June 2023 - 06:50 PM in Pro Equipment Sales

Well... shit. It's tough being a Flames fan down here in PA and not being able to attend these things. I heard reports about how a small handful of people snagged up most of what was there only to resell it, only... I haven't really seen much beyond a few old pant shells and MiC jerseys? I kept my eyes open for a nice pair of gloves or pants, but nothing along those lines ever popped up on eBay or SLS, so where did all of that stuff go?




#386161 What's Your 'Holy Grail' Glove?

Posted by Firebrand on 01 June 2023 - 09:08 PM in Hockey Gear

My kingdom for a pair of Kylington (or any Flames player's) 2S Pros.

Barring those, I'd gladly settle for a pair in the 2022-23 Lighting RR, Whalers, or Vegas white colorways. Still mad that I passed up one of the many of Eichel's pairs on PSH a while back.

After some wheeling and dealing, I finished my 2022-2023 Sharks setups. Nothing for sale. 


Damn, man. Those are snazzy as balls. I'm still not 100% sold on the teal pants for the Sharks' home and away set, but I dig the texture on the socks.
