@Ridley Simon collection these days?

Oh gosh. A bunch. I can’t remember them, as it’s petered out the last few months to some extent. Costs and all.

Dima Orlov GW white road #9
Glen Metropolit GW black capital dome #20
Sergei Federov GW home red #91
Andrei Nikolishin GW black dome #13
Karl Alzner GW white road #27 PLAYOFFS

Def bought another GW Ridley, Iafrate, and….I can’t remember!

I need to check the closet. It’s unfortunately running out of room. Prob 240 or so jammed in there. Had to move some to the garage in bags. “non-essentials”. 1st world problems, I know.

I will check later this evening when I get home.

Must resist

I got a bit f***ed up and am afraid to see what I ordered. Checked my email this morning and saw I have an order confirmation from Dick’s. I had a bunch of shit in my cart because I was looking at some golf stuff so I’m hoping I didn’t order everything.

They really need to create a breathalyzer for your phone/computer that prevents you from buying stuff if your BAC is over a certain threshold

Mother of Dog! Those stadium series sweaters are even uglier than I remembered. Someone better have been fired around that.

The sweatshirt is pretty cool though. Or at least that’s what I’m telling myself after I just bought one and it’s not returnable or exchangeable.

Capitals reportedly not bringing back Screaming Eagle jersey next season as alternate

The Washington Capitals' retro Screaming Eagle logo is wildly popular amongst fans. It was also a part of the team's biggest moment…

I don't normally hop on these alternate jersey fads, I own very few, but the black Caps throwback was a good alternate. Shame that it will not be brought back.

That’s truly dumb. The dark blue W is arguably my least favourite jersey of all the ones I own.

Very poor choice by Ted and Co

Don't care for either. Never want to see the Caps in that black and blue and tan color scheme again. Ick. The prior version with the screaming eagle in R,W, & B was spiffy tho. Still can't believe the f***ed up the stadium series so bad. The Weagle is a great logo and prime to be their next sweater design, but those things were just butt-ugly.

The W was just too large on this White Jerseys. I know you hate the Blue Black and Bronze. I’ve always respectfully disagreed.

Loved the Black Dome, and loved the Black Eagle.

The Blue Eagle I admire because it is the hardest GW jersey to find (outside of the stadium and winter classic ones). However I still like them more than the new alternative Navy. It’s just so MEH

How did you score Holtby game used pads? Pretty sick Caps room

Thanks man! The left one's are Vanecek and the right ones are Tomas Vokoun. I got them both from a couple people in the DC area who got them from past equipment sales.

The Vanecek's look to be the same ones he used in the bubble playoffs! So they're on all of his rookie hockey cards.

They weren't exactly cheap but cheaper than new goalie pads haha. Not quite into the Holtby stratosphere.

Are those all 16”x20” @The Instigator ? I’ve collected quite a few prints over the years and I’m going to frame them soon. I was just wondering if I could go without a border in the frame, sort of what you did.

Yeah they are! I've tested a couple different frames but some of the cheap ones fit goofy. These ones are actually from IKEA. They're cheap ones too but it works for now until I decide on something better.

If you get them professionally done I'm sure they can do the same style. Plus adding UV protection would be a big plus. I'll probably end up doing that eventually.
