You, sir, are a Sage. never more wise words have been spoken. Too many employees here deride the customer as an unknowing buffoon, ignoring the fact their reply is the greater evil

not to mention being PINK, but I assume that's my monitor??? was the mismatced color pair intended at least (disregarding the narrow/reg fiasco) they say MIA on them, are they old stock?

I don't think I'd say Bladetape is a bust... it going strong as far as I can see.

you're already here LOL :lol: :D

got mine done at SC once... and never again. EVER!

ddbowdoin, those are so freakin' sweett!!! note to Bauer: MAKE THIS A REGULAR COLOR PLEASE!!!!

maybe if he picked up a S19 or a 8.0.8 but not to get the next in the same line there's THAT much difference between a ONE90 and a ONE95??? it's not like you can really get ONE90's anymore (yes, I know they're out there)

if it's a make up for a retailer/chain, i imagne they can (or try to) dicate the specs to a certain degree as they're providing the $$

question on Easton blade patterns: most everyone here... the Modano/Forsberg/Zetterberg curve is the same (P4) and most others apply, but on Eastons website (and the current catalogue), when looking at sticks/blades, the Zetterberg is shown as P12, Iginla is shown as P1 etc. just curious... edit: for clarity

:) i loved my pair

That's a whole other story lol........ I'll foreshadow by saying I'm a shop regular, on a first name basis with everyone know what I need when I go in the shop all you have to do for me is ring it up and take my money..... so I went into my shop the other day to finally do my fitting for customs, I sit and wait for over an hour for the fitting and when they finally come over to me he hands me the measuring tape, brannock device, order form and tells me to fill it on and let him know when I'm done..... Now luckily for me I knew what I was doing and knew what I wanted with my skates but what if I didn't? I'm trying to hand them $800 on the spot for a pair of skates I'll get in 4-6 weeks and they make me wait a hour and then have me fit myself. I guarantee this happens to customers all the time, so if you aren't getting the one on one service why pay the extra money in the store? "this happens to customers all the time" - why go to this shop again?? "I knew what I was doing and knew what I wanted with my skates" - self-service explained "all you have to do for me is ring it up and take my money" - sounds like they did

that beats 2/3's of the camera pics too!! nice gloves!

seems to me he was fishing for a sale and hoping for the usual customer response of ... 'it'll be good enough' knowing it's not what they really wanted. However, to outright say that Bauer isn't making their top-end stick??? Not a very savvy salesperson (probably in Bikes last week!! :D)

the great wall of TBLfan!!! featuring the amazing Drewhunz extension and don't forget the collected works of MSH as you head North!!
