I'd say I still get as excited as I ever have when I get a great deal on a piece of good equipment. It's the chase/experience of getting something I wanted, and I can use, at a heavily discounted price, as opposed to getting all that excited over new product lines, and product reveals. It's no secret, we are generally at a state of vastly diminishing returns when new product lines are released. A perfect example, when the Super Tacks skates came out, I picked up the Tacks(2014) on clearance for 400.00. I really liked the skate a lot. 2 days ago, I picked up another pair of brand new Tacks skates for 200.00. I got 2 pairs for well below the price of the initial msrp of 1 pair. That to me never gets boring.

Why are people always so concerned about weight when in most cases it's negligible.

I'll do a full write up after I finish my testing.

Design wise the old stuff is great and classics really never die. But I am very happy in terms of the advancement in materials. I don’t miss the soaking heavy wet feeling of my old gear nor the idea of breaking in leather gloves.

I actually just found my 9000s when i was cleaning out a closet yesterday. When I bought them they were the only thing i could find in a tall. Probably going to switch from my Tackla girdle back to pants.

Just don't lead off negotiations with "what's the lowest you will go?". I listed an asking price. Counter with a number, not a request that I negotiate against myself.

I guess that thread is pretty polarizing - reading it makes me want to quit hockey/MSH altogether. 🤣

Picked up some step blacksteel. Will be interested to see if it feels any different than v-steel.
