And somebody needs to invent a pair of skates with steel or titanium or some break proof casing to protect his glass feet.
it exists. i asked earlier why he isn't using them already based on the past issues he's had. to often these guys will wear them in practice (if at all), but won't wear them during games.
These things are great! I really don't know why they aren't used more in the NHL. I've had mine for about 10 months now and the extra protection is invaluable! They weigh almost nothing and absorb so much more of the puck impact than just the boot would.
Has the NHL or NHLPA approved these for use in games? That could be a hold up.
Additionally, the NHL is trying to crackdown on goalie equipment, so maybe they are opposed to allowing goalies to use them, and by extension, the skaters as well. Easier to block all players from using them than just the goalies I'd imagine.

i've never played or worn them. do you think they restrict any movement? that would be my only concern.
the new skate boots are so lightweight, they provide virtually zero protection from pucks. compared to the older leather boots the new heat formed boots give no protection. i think Carts uses either the Bauer supreme or vapors, both of which have next to zero protection
Good news!
@lakingsinsider: Sutter, on whether Carter could play tomorrow: "I would say that’s doubtful. It’s day-to-day now. It’s not week-to-week."
This begs the question, what to do with Toffoli? It seems like a waste of his talent to have him anywhere but the top six. Of the current top six wingers, I'd say Brown has been the weakest performer.

Wait so no more 3-6 weeks. Did he get the foot transplant we were talking about?

That's something I will never understand either. This is not the first time this happens.Wait so no more 3-6 weeks. Did he get the foot transplant we were talking about?
Best news I've heard in a while. He would have buried a goal last night during that 3-on-3 in OT.
Toffoli - Kopitar - Williams
King - Richards - Carter
Brown - Stoll - Frattin
Carcillo - Vey - Lewis

Its difficult to give a timetable but going from week-to-week to day-to-day is odd.
I wont complain though.
It was what I thought it would be earlier based on what I saw and read, but then DL came out and said 3-6 weeks and I was like 'Well I guess I'm an idiot'
Maybe we could get the same reversal for Quick? *crosses fingers*
`It is already three weeks since his last game...
I'm not sure if it's been discussed here but does anyone see a scenario where DL might be interested in acquiring Jagr at the trade deadline?
Stupid idea?
