looking for advice

[ROLI30]

Need some opinions from the HI group.
I am looking at buying a game used jersey but have come to a point that I can not decide. The jersey is from a new goalie to the team and is available in both home and away, problem being he has only actually been in net for the away games. Therefore the away jersey [white version] with show game use [puck marks] and the home jersey will not show any use as he did not actually get into the games. I do prefer the home colours to the white away jersey but just cant decide.

Looking for advice on what you would do. thanks

Is it Tokarski? Take the road version!

Road jersey, hands down. It's game-used. The home jersey is "bench" used lol

If it is for your collection to keep, go with the jersey you will appreciate more in the long run. I have run in to this same (or similiar) problem, I buy a jersey based on price and end up wishing I would have just spent a little more and got the jersey I really wanted. If you like the home jersey more, buy that one. Who cares how much use it shows in the long run if you don't actually like the jersey the use is on?

Very few gamers show much wear anymore anyways since the teams use so many every year, and they are washed so heavily, it washes away most of the stick and puck marks. My opinion, go with the one you will enjoy more and won't regret buying down the road. Good luck.

Good luck landing it and I think hands done the game used one will mean more to you.

Thanks for the advice guys. RGM81 good guess. I was leaning towards the away jersey already as my daughter and I traveled to Buffalo to watch the Habs play. We watched him get his first shut out with Montreal.
