Chitchat Chat for hockey fans

[The Silent Z]

Good question. I’d maybe go one size up of your regular clothes. But honestly I’ve done my normal clothes and it fit snuggly. So I say one size up for a more loose feel, and if you wanna risk making it your size you could have two options- a perfect snug fit or a little too tight.

Hopefully this helps and makes sense. It’s right now late after hockey practice and I am very tired. My words and answer might not me right or make any sense tbh.

The Silent Z Ok now that I’ve got a clear head maybe I can address your question. First, are you getting an authentic (usually more expensive) Adidas game jersey, like the real jersey the players use? Or the little bit cheaper Fanatics player replica jerseys? I have one authentic (Sorokin) and the rest of mine are Fanatics.

This might be important for choosing the size of the jersey depending on if it’s real Adidas or Fanatics replica. For the real jersey I’d go a bit bigger. For Fanatics jerseys I’d just do your normal clothing size.

Hope that helps better.

Alright thank you! To answer your later question, I’m planning on getting the Adidas prime green or least Adidas authentic custom jersey. Either way it’s going to be one of the two varieties of Adidas player jerseys. just will vary on the team and availability as I notice some teams mine included are limited right now with sales and cutting down what’s left at the moment. Good to know though about the different brands and the difference between them. Appreciate the assistance!

Ok so the real deal legit authentic Adidas jerseys that the players use. Awesome! Those are obviously the best (but a bit more expensive, which is why I only have one). But yea I think you might be safe getting maybe a size up with those. It’s not the end of the world tho if you get it in ur size because I don’t think it’ll even be that tight on you.

I hope this helps because I definitely don’t wanna accidentally guide you into getting a jersey that is too big or too tight.

Good luck with the jersey search and lmk how it goes! What team are you getting btw?

Yeah, planning on taking advantage of the site wide sale code of 30-65% off pending on which one is active when I make the deal/purchase. Which will allow me to get a few jerseys from different sports. The adidas are definitely more expensive so another reason I’ll be getting it during one of the many sales they rotate around with. Unfortunately means the new releases won’t be discounted with the code yet so cuts some of the options down. But no big deal though, some are pretty awesome that I’ve seen available so far but either way a jersey purchase is awesome enough. But cool, good to know and appreciate it! This does definitely help cause some teams are tough on sizes and knowing more details on fit and etc does help a lot in addition to the availability the site has going right now.

No it definitely helps and is greatly appreciated! Far more helpful then what I’ve found online too.

Thanks and will do! Good question lol. I’ve been debating that quite a bit tbh, availability is now helping cut some of that down align with what jerseys and gear is able to get the sale code used on them to bring they cost down quite a bit. I plan on getting a few jerseys across different sports/leagues. Wild are currently near sold out in all sizes right now so cuts them out for the most part. Flames new alternate that just got released and made available for purchase is awesome imo but like the new releases and design for the Sharks jerseys, sale code doesn’t affect them. But to cut the debate down on which player and which jersey temptation with the new one released besides availability. I might just go with a eastern conference team for NHL, still a few options I’m thinking about from different teams.

But leaning towards a Panthers/Tkachuk away jersey. Just depends on site availability for the various teams when I can make the purchase for all the jerseys and hats in one go.

MLB wise- Likely will go with a Brewers Tellez Nike jersey the away version since it’s cheaper then the home by a fair bit. Slight debate between that and the A’s alternate Jersey.

NFL Wise- Packers Jones game day jersey is the plan as long as it’s available.

NBA Wise- Jazz New Jersey’s aren’t really available with any players still on the roster for some reason. Except with a Fanatics Conley jersey. So if they don’t become available with a player option jersey in the new look, I’ll probably go with a Giannis Milwaukee Bucks jersey. Come playoff time with the Jazz unlikely to sniff the playoffs, Bucks will be a team I’ll rooting for and I guess would be my eastern conference pick for a team I root for in general or one of them anyways . (Milwaukee theme for me in my lifetime I noticed.)

That’s good that there’s a sale. Definitely take advantage of that.

Of course! I’m happy to hear I could actually help somewhat.

Solid choices tbh. Whatever you choose will end up being fire.

For the MLB since you’re a Brewers fan I’d go with the Tellez jersey over the A’s alt. But both solid choices.

That’s pretty cool with the NBA jerseys. Seems like a Giannis Bucks jersey is lit.

Agreed and definitely will be.



Thanks

Yeah makes sense. Brewers definitely might be easier and safer with all the trade potential going on with the A’s current roster. Talk is going about key vets and players being moved for more assets to build on and cap clearing. So Garcia or Pache are about the only choices I’d think right now that would be safe bets to stick and be built around going forward. But yeah, price is a tiny bit higher but leaning towards Brewers Tellez since idk what will happen with McCutchen and his expiring deal this off-season. Thanks though!

Yeah that’s true, I’d agree with that and Giannis seems to have a Nike option that’s cheaper then others. So yeah, 3 sports jerseys will be Milwaukee this go round.

I hate to say it and maybe for a lot of these early season disappointments and surprises will turn around once things gel more and get figured out. But, I think Devils need to consider firing Ruff and promote Brunette into the Interim HC role especially if this goes on too much longer. Nice comeback win over the Ducks but overall their structure and performance has been very all over the place and underwhelming with this roster potential even as young as much of it is right now.

While Ducks, terrible…. I hate to say it and admit it but I think Dostal might need to be recalled and given a look. Maybe time for Gibson to get a fresh start on another team or move into a backup role which I don’t think works in Anaheim for too long. Stolarz hasn’t looked much better so the team in front of them seems to be the main issue perhaps… Idk. But that team looks awfully bad right now

Columbus…. I don’t get it. Johnny is still getting his play together it seems. Laine I think is still out after that wrist or forearm injury to open the season or was it game 2? Either way with Merzilkins back now and a few games since returning, something is still off in Ohio. Maybe not a top east team but figured they’d be better then this and a playoff caliber team.

Flyers…. Just wow! Tortz early on has them looking good. (Figured I’d throw in a positive team surprise here. I knew they’d play better with Tortz but so far this is even better then I thought.)

Bolts- Haha loving this slow start in Tampa.

Maple Leafs- Interesting start to the year and not looking too good right now. Goalie issue and maybe Keefe? Idk.

Ottawa- Record wise not great to start the season. But not too terrible play wise. They should be alright once more time allows them to gel more with all the new faces and key additions.

Vancouver- Yikes. Poor Bruce and the Canucks fans. Definitely not the start I’d have imagined for them.

Winnipeg- I think Bones has been out with Covid so hasn’t really debuted, if I heard right? but none the less they are in the same boat as Vancouver for me. Rough start.

Plenty of hockey left. Plenty of early season explanations for each team in the league and their current starts. But just some of the shockers and disappointments for me with one positive mixed in.

Caps & Bruins idk…. Washington is a mixed bag. Bruins I can’t believe it and don’t know if this will last. Pens…. Damn, Crosby is just going off each game for multiple points from what I’ve heard and seen. Curious how these older teams fare as time goes on.

 

[Edric Blight]

Of course. No problem my friend.

Also yea I think Tellez would be a safe bet for you.

Ayy nice, Milwaukee represent! Solid choices.

Yea Ruff sucks. There was even a “fire Ruff” chant one night at a Devils game in Prudential Center.

Agreed with both of those. Dostal and Gibson for sure.

I knew that wouldn’t fix it I knew it knew it knew it. JG shot himself in the foot by going to Ohio. Such a stupid move to go to a struggling franchise. I knew his addition to the roster wouldn’t be much. It’s still early in the season but I think he’s gonna pay for choosing Columbus of all places over somewhere like Jersey or Philly and also will pay for betraying Calgary (although less scummy than how JT screwed the Isles and lied to us).

I’m surprised lol, theyre 3-0 under Torts when they were supposed to be like 0-82 lol. I don’t see it lasting but like wow! They beat Tampa! They beat Vasy!

Me too, the Bolts look a lot worse this year.

The Leafs, it’s a combination of Keefe and goaltending as much as Leafs fans wanna say Keefe is the best. HE NEEDS TO GO! HE NEEDS TO GO! I cannot stress it enough and I do not know how the hell he still has his job. Awful coach. Awful Leafs team too. Lazy bunch.

Lol yea Vancouver has lost every game this season so far but what is worse is they have led all the games and choked it at the end. Yikes, sucks to be a Canucks fan rn.

Oh yea I heard Bones wasn’t on the bench cuz of an illness. Idk the whole story behind that tho or what’s happening. But the Jets did beat the Rangers lol.

Can’t say I’ve really been hearing much about the Caps, Bruins, or Pens. Crazy to see Crosby still being a beast at this age.

Yeah Rowdy definitely seems like it for sure. So between the two top choices for me with the Brewers, definitely the best bet I agree.

Yeah! Milwaukee repping in UT! Thanks and agreed though biased on my end as a fan.

Yeah I was of that mind for awhile especially the more I watch this team. But this season, I’m more on board then ever especially before it’s too far into the season. I can understand the Fire Ruff chants and devils fans frustrations. This team has been playing poorly and it’s looking like a structure issue on ice. Talent and moments of pressure on the other team have been there but the putting it together and playing more structured on defense is clearly still an issue and all around too. But yeah, agreeing with the fans. It’s ruff and time for a change. I know that home opener I watched for the Devils I heard the boos when they introduced Ruff. Brunette there I think will be a good choice to takeover. He definitely helped Florida as the Interim coach least in the regular season. Not sure if he was fully to blame for the postseason though.

Yeah it’s sad to see and admit. But agreed. I think Gibson has been wanting out anyways but then again media rumors always say certain guys want out when they don’t or haven’t even said so themselves. Especially when they are big names and key guys.

On paper, I think they look far better then their play represents. My own opinion though can’t really disagree with the counter points. Thus why I leaned towards them as a playoff team in the East. But the seeming curse in Columbus continues and they trend as a underwhelming team. I don’t know what will fix it, but I still believe they’ve got the wrong coach in Columbus. Front office wise, idk yet. But roster wise very disappointing play so far. JG going to Ohio looked good though very surprising to me when the news broke. Though I figured he wouldn’t be back in Calgary just figured jersey or Philly would be his landing spots like most did. but yeah, whatever is plaguing CBJ continues on. Feels like a curse for how long this has been going. (They could use Tortz back right about now haha)


I don’t know how long it will last either haha. But for Tortz sake I’m happy for them or him rather otherwise Philly winning wouldn’t be a positive for me haha. Devils with this young team and the players on it, yeah. CBJ yeah. Isles yeah. But normally Philly would be a no. Haha. That aside it’s surprising even me who thought they’d be better then expectations with Tortz. That coaches history is too convincing for me to bet against him. Besides the fan I am of that coach. Beating the Bolts was a big W too! I loved it just cause I’d like to see Tampa fall and beating Vasy is quite tough to do so impressive win. Carter Hart has been impressive so far imo. His play when I’ve watched and games I haven’t but heard about…. He looks far better then I use to credit him for before this year. Tortz magic is working for now despite all the reasons that logic says would work against him in Philly. Haha

Agreed

I’ve been thinking it. But then again, I can’t claim to have seen as many Leafs games as I could say for other teams especially west coast and conference teams. So it’s easily a maybe I’m not seeing enough kinda deal. But yeah, Keefe doesn’t seem like the right fit. The team can get sloppy and lazy for a squad with their talent level and the playoff curse just is mind boggling for me. Goalie situation has been worse this year but still…. They should be better. So i definitely can see your points on this coach more and more as time goes on. Not that I really disagreed before, but this year I’ve seen a bit more Leafs games then others so it’s more in my face then before I guess haha.

Yeah lol. It’s rough. Tough chokes this season.

Yeah I don’t either just stuff I’ve heard. Happy they beat the Rangers though! Lol. But overall it’s a bit rough outside of that win.

Bruins I’ve been seeing the scores and some highlights. Shocking to me but right now they look good.

Caps have been a team I’ve seen a few times now. They can play really sloppy at times but counter with some decent to strong play in others. Kuznetsov did have some dirty play and a bad hit on Burrows that got him suspended but team wise they are a mix of good and sloppy. Strome seems to be a nice pickup for them, adds a younger guy with nice Playmaking ability with this team. Another young guy has looked good for them so far. But mixed bag.

Pens wise, just going off what I’ve heard and seen in the scores section. Haven’t watched them yet personally. But agreed with Crosby. Damn, impressive he’s still going beast mode at this stage of his career.

Good choice.

That’s lit! I love it!

Exactly. Ruff really does need to go.

Yea Gibson has needed a new team for a WHILE now. Wonder if he finally goes.

Agreed. They definitely look a lot better on paper (especially with the addition of JG) than they actually are.

Yea Torts is a damn good coach, no doubt. Maybe this was exactly what Philly needed.

Leafs goalies suck and I can’t stress enough how bad Keefe is. He needs to go, just look at the lack of success of this Leafs team lmao. Their damn fans are so complacent with it.

Oh yea I saw the Kuzy suspension early on in the season.

Major respect to Crosby.

Yeah agreed. Gibson at this stage of his career could use a non rebuild team. I heard rumors in the off-season about Toronto…. I don’t think they can pull it off, but I can’t say it wouldn’t in theory help them either. Minny could definitely use the help but cap wise highly doubtful there.

Yeah agreed.

Agreed and it’s definitely looking like it! Management got something right in Philly haha. Currently watching the Flyers/Panthers now actually.(Jets/Av’s appear to be the other option currently playing NHL wise.)



Yeah agreed. The Leafs have underwhelmed and the lacking in this team too much to keep going with Keefe. He’s had time with this rosters talent more then some get unless I’m mistaken on how many years he’s been there now. 18/19 ish right? Curious who would take over in Toronto. They seem like a big name coach kinda team if Keefe is moved on from.

Agree with Crosby. I am not a Pens fan but plenty of respect for some of their players and especially with Crosby.

 

[The Silent Z]

Some teams kinda disappointing with their reverse retros but some look awesome. Florida’s is one of those that imo looks great!

Don’t get me started on those. So many awful ones.

I’m in the minority here but I despise the Islander’s one. It’s so ugly and I HATE the Fisherman logo.

If you’re an Isles fan, you know what that logo represents. The 90’s Islanders (aka one of the lowest points in our franchise’s history). That’s what that logo represents to me.

 

[Edric Blight]

Just not a big fan of my own team’s jersey here. I very much dislike it and the Fisherman logo.

But I am in a VERY small minority of Isles fans surprisingly. Everybody seems to love it lol.

Interesting choice for color scheme with the fishermen. The 90’s especially during that particular owners reign definitely a low point for any franchise. Understandable why the dislike for the reminder and representation that logo brings with it. (Spano I think was the owners name? Seems like that was the guy, Joe Spano. Scam artist.)

CBJ was highly underwhelming for me. Basically just their regular jersey with a slight color twist on the sleeves with some stars and Stinger shoulder patch. Shoulder patch was about the only thing nice about it. Sleeves would have been fine, if the primary section of the jersey wasn’t the normal look and primary logo.

Detroit & Chicago clearly collaborated with each other. I didn’t think those two teams could mess up but those are big L’s imo.

But yeah plenty of L’s imo. But some pretty good reveals and some predictable choices.

Shoulder patch was about the only thing nice about it. Sleeves would have been fine, if the primary section of the jersey wasn’t the normal look and primary logo.

Detroit & Chicago clearly collaborated with each other. I didn’t think those two teams could mess up but those are big L’s imo.

But yeah plenty of L’s imo. But some pretty good reveals and some predictable choices.

Yea that dude was a scam artist. Awful awful time in Isles history.

Yea CBJ’s is lazy.

Detroit and Chicagos have to be the worst.

I must say I am a fan of the Sharks’ Golden Seals call back lol.

Agreed they are definitely among if not the worst.

Those were nice. A nice callback to the seals with this jersey. It definitely fits the Bay Area too imo.

I kinda hate the fact that I don’t hate the Bruins jersey lol. It’s actually nice and well done for the most part…. I kinda hate that I like it.

Preds is good hit would have been great if the primary color was white or some shade of blue instead of another yellow dominant jersey. The logo return is great imo though.

Devils color scheme is kinda refreshing to see. Nice throwback to the Scouts/Rockies.

Pens & Caps I’ll admit are pretty nice too.

Flames and admittedly even the Oilers did really nice.

Yea, Sharks are my personal favorite tbh cuz it was a good call back and was nothing over the top.

Eh the Bruins jersey is ok. I’m personally not a fan of the bear at all.

I’m a big hater but I just dislike that old Preds logo, but it is a cool call back.

Devils is cool, a nice nod to them before they were in Jersey.

Can’t go wrong with the Robo penguin logo.

Caps is ok. Very good call back and we’ll done I’m just personally not a fan of the screaming eagle.

I hate that old Oilers logo but that’s just me lol.

Flames I’m not a fan of, especially the bottom of the jersey.

As you can tell I’m very disappointed with pretty much all teams and their reverse retros this year.

 

[Edric Blight]

This Islanders team is a joke…. Out shot to hell by Jersey at home and it’s the end of the second. 2-0 we are losing.

Pathetic. We rightly got booed off the ice by our own fans because we leave Sorokin to hang out to dry. Guy standing on his head every night and the Islanders can’t hold onto or shoot the damn puck. Disappointing night.

 

[The Silent Z]

Oh rough game there.

 

[Edric Blight]

Oh rough game there.

VERY rough night.

 

[The Silent Z]

Yeah for sure.

Been keeping an eye on a few games, mainly watching Ottawa and Caps til now switching to the Wild/Canucks game for a bit before work. Sens leading 3-2. Yankees trail 3-2 in the fifth last I checked. Habs rookie (Xejhar? However it was spelled.) took down Kassian in a fight during the yotes game and it was a clear winner in that short heavy blow fight haha. But Habs look pretty good so far and Slaf got his first goal. Wright got his first assist last night against the Blues in a pretty good game that went into OT.

Idk how to spell the Habs rookie’s name but yea I saw that video.

Also that’s pretty cool to see those two first round picks getting it done.

Haven’t checked baseball or other scores around the league. Just focusing on being sad here watching the Isles get embarrassed on home ice by the Devils of all teams….

 

[Edric Blight]

That was some of the worst Islanders hockey I have witnessed in recent history….

The only reason that shit show wasn’t 7-1 was because Sorokin, AS ALWAYS, stood on his head tonight.

But of course we just left him out to dry like we always do. The damn Bridgeport Islanders were playing tonight.

Embarrassing loss at home to the Devils, 4-1. Apologies for my ranting but I’m pretty frustrated with tonight as you can see. You don’t need to respond to any of it either lol I’m just getting my thoughts out.

Rightly booed the Isles players throughout the third period and off the ice after that utter pathetic performance. Saddening, considering we have a tough road trip in Florida coming up this weekend.

Agreed. Pretty nice to see for sure.

Tough loss. Hard to tell if this carries over for the Devils or not. but tough loss regardless for the Isles. System related and getting use to the changes or just plain up and down to start the year? The latter seeming to plague a few teams if not being even worse in some cases.

Caps lost 5-2 to the Sens. Love that W for Ottawa as they appear to be getting it together…. Hopefully.

Zuccarello is back and ties the game with the Canucks. Thankfully somebody evens the score for this Wild team in the third period.

That’s rough and answers a few wonders here about their play. But understandable lol and no problem on the venting.

I’ll be signing here in a bit cause of work. But a short response for now.

Good to hear for Ottawa. I like to see that.

As for the Isles- it was pathetic. No excuse for tonight, I’m heavily saddened and disappointed. These guys gotta sit and think about tonight in the locker room.
