  1. The curve looks similar to p92. How much different is p28?
  2. Just for future reference for making your sticks last longer, use MORE tape on your blades. Wonder why the chipping happens at the toe? Im guessing because its untaped. I have the same problem (or used to, not as bad now that I tape my sticks better) where I don't often break sticks but the blade starts to chip and breaks down until its pretty much unusable/ready to snap. From my own experience, warrior is really bad with chipping, whereas Bauer has held up pretty well. I always used to just tape starting about an inch or so in from the heel to maybe a couple inches from the end of the blade. Pretty standard tape job. I would start to see chipping at the toe as well as right back at the heel just before the tape would start (both uncovered areas). So I started taping my stick where I would put a small 2-3 inch piece along the bottom of the blade at the heel where it was usually uncovered and starts to connect to the shaft. Then I would start the tape a few inches into the blade as normal but I would go all the way to the toe. Often I put a strip along the edge of the toe before fully taping it as well... Doing this has made a HUGE difference. It really protects the blade well from getting chips and it doesn't change how the stick plays at all. The only time I find a chip is where the tape at the toe starts to come off/has a tear and I've neglected to re-tape it. Its really not that much extra tape to use and it's definitely a lot cheaper to buy a few extra rolls of tape vs. a few extra sticks. This will definitely help already chipped sticks from getting further chipped as well. However beware that I have noticed that sometimes if its already chipped some material will come off a little bit when you take the tape off, but probably still less than what will come off if you leave it bare and keep chipping it on the boards etc. Just be careful when taking tape off. I can post a pic of my taped stick if you want
  3. haha I was wondering the same thing about taping it so much. I tape the top once when i buy it new and it stays until it breaks. I even use the grippier wrap on a few sticks but even that lasts pretty much forever.
  4. Picked up this stick in the summer time but hadn't gotten around to posting it. Kind of a funny/crazy story behind it as well. I came across this girl selling a bunch of used sticks online. She didn't advertise them as professional game used or anything, but in one post she had one listed as a "Used Bauer one95 stick - $40" and she posted a picture that showed a namebar on it (pro stock). The way it was taken only showed the last 4 letters on the name bar "pien". I live in Vancouver and as a huge Canucks fan I knew right away that it was probably a Rick Rypien stick. I'm sure most of you know the story behind Rick Rypien. Beloved scrappy player/fighter who played for Vancouver and who unfortunately battled depression and ended his life just after the 2011 season. So I messaged her right away, luckily I saw it just after she posted it and I was the first one to message her. So I looked up pictures of Rick Rypien in game just to confirm he used a one95, which of course he did late in his career. I wasn't sure if it would be game used or anything but I just thought it would be cool to have either way. So right when I met up with her and saw the stick I could tell right away by the custom tape job that it was game used. So I check it over, looks great, I give her the $40 and go on my way. I get back to my car and I'm still pretty mesmerized by it so I'm looking it over and thats when I noticed that on the blade... it was signed. Couldn't believe my eyes. Definitely the best $40 I've ever spent and now definitely the rarest piece of memorabilia I own.
  5. Haha yeah they brought it out just after 11. Luckily I was right in front as they were bringing out the new stick rack. I had actually arrived at around 9:30 and was expecting to wait till 11, but the guy was like "ahh screw it, we don't want to make you guys wait in the sun for a while so you can just come in now". Literally after only waiting maybe 2 minutes. And yeah it's not exactly the same as a nexus but I believe nexus is based off G3 concept. (Although I'm no expert). As far as I know g3's have custom flex pattern, custom weave and custom blades. Basically custom everything. The Schroeder stick had a one95 blade. It felt great using it and was pretty much brand new. Was yours used or new?
  6. Depends when you went I guess. I managed to get a Schroeder G3 for $100, apx 2 for $160 and pretty much new Synergy Hsx gloves for $75
  7. I managed to snag the other shroeder stick. It's actually a G3 dressed as an NXG, at least mine is. I used it yesterday and it is aweeeeesome. Best $100 I've spent on a stick.
