The look of a man who knows he's made a mistake



Our goalie does not wait for tappies. He comes and claims them.

Turns out, the reason why we didn't see goalies breaking in pads to go with their HTR gear is that Joey at least doesn't have any. I am sad he doesn't he doesn't have a full look like other goalies, especially since he's a fashion victim with three new helmets for this season. But he's also particular about his pads. He struggled with his third jersey pads and after a few games just went mismatched on the ice last year. Probably best to not make him swap gear. Gru might still have custom HTR stuff, but I suspect he'll wear his indigenous art helmet he's had for years with it since the tones match perfectly and also it works with the theming.

Oh, my Joey icon is him in the third jersey but his home set for pads / glove / blocker.

Aren't all goalie particular about their pads? I remember Flower at least used to hoard leather straps and such because they weren't available from all equipment suppliers.

He is very particular about his pad colors, and he likes the extra leather straps around the back that don't actually do anything on modern pads, but make them look like old school ones.

I don't know how he is about specific models, but he does have videos about goalie gear on his own channel with full tear downs.

Gru seems to be able to roll with whatever.
