Andrei Vasilevskiy’s equipment was also a homage to Nikolai Khalibulin’s equipment in 2004.

    Nikolai Khabibulin is still technically active in professional hockey

    His right Khabi or his left Bulin

    I miss Don Taylor lol

  3. Older goalie gear looked so fucking sick I hate how sterilized it’s become over the years in the spirit of minmaxxing every opportunity

    For me this is 100% the nicest set of goalie gear I’ve seen recently. Absolutely beautiful and it fits the new jersey perfectly. I imagine a red version would look perfect alongside Buffalo’s 3rd jerseys too.

    Wish we saw gear this colourful more often

    The “Bulin Wall” great nickname.

    1) Those jerseys are slick and should be their permanent homes.
    2) I know the pad skin prints are popular and allow for retro tributes, but as the current top comment says, it looks odd. But this is a faithful tribute; I saw a pic comparing Vasi here to the Bulin Wall and it looks incredible.

    Wild to see the difference in the size of the pads.

    Why don’t they, like, you know, just wear the old uniforms? Isn’t that what everyone actually wants?

    I’m not a Bauer guy, but damn those old Supremes looked so slick. Love Vasey’s set up.

    This is awesome. I loved Khabibulin as a kid.

    Swap the round badge for the primary logo, and I’d be okay with these being a permanent fixture.

    They really did a disservice to themselves when they changed the color scheme. The black and blue was such a great combo. The blue unis look like the lovechild of the Wings and Leafs.

  13. Those pads look so much bigger in Khalibulin’s time!

  14. Squabbles123456789

    Damn, Khabibulin’s leg pads look almost twice as big as Vas’s

    The Bulin wall was such an entertaining goalie to watch

    The Bulin Wall, him and Kipper were absolutely dominant during their reign.

    Those new Tampa jersey would be complete if they had white shoulders.
