    Going through storage and found this gem in an old goalie mag.

    URGENT! 😂

    Haha he used to take out and pay for adds requesting old Jofa gear. He would repair them himself. I remember reading about it on his Wiki page a little while ago.

    Super interesting dude

    Stars Legend!

    Nah, seriously we knew he wasn’t ours, but we loved his brief year with us.

    that tennis story reminds me of the car salesman meme

    First let’s think about the real bird cages… Hasek, Irbe, Soderstrom, Hrudey… then we can talk about Osgood, Vernon, Riendieu… then Thomas, Vanbiesbrouck…

    100$ helmet for a 40$ book? I’d asked for a signed jersey.

    Jofa made some wild looking helmets but god did they fit great.

    But plastic only lasts for 5 years and they don’t make Jofa anymore, which means Irbe is wearing defective helmets

    Besides the obvious how legendary this is, crazy to think about putting your phone and address in a published magazine these days

    One of my favorite Sharks goalies ever.
    Irbe was a beast in the 2002 run.

    The good ol’ Itech 8200 aka “the widow maker.”

    Osgood had to do the same thing. I don’t think they took out an ad like this but the equipment manager had to track some down.
