  1. Both are taped and used once, effectively new condition. Uncut full length retail sticks. https://sidelineswap.com/gear/hockey/sticks/4590531-ccm-2-pack-ribcor-trigger-5-pro-p29-70-flex-senior-right-grip Asking $260 shipped within the US OBO.
  2. Like new condition. Cut to ~63 standing up from the floor to the top. Build code is literally just “Flylite” Asking $135 shipped gifted within the US https://imgur.com/a/lXvgMRU
  3. One90 is my favorite boot of all time hands down - Keep us posted if you find a suitable replacement. FWIW I’m in Jetspeed 490s with edge holders and they’re pretty damn nice with the top eyelets undone. Not quite the holy grail but very serviceable relative to the zillion other models I’ve tried recently. I do agree with what others have said in that the top end boots nowadays are ultra stiff and will overpower your foot and ankle compared to the One90 which basically moved with you 1:1. The reduced stiffness is what primarily drove my logic to go down 1 level from the top end model. My experience has been that CCMs are way more feature rich at that $599-$699 price point whereas Bauer (the brand I wore exclusively from mites to about a year ago) really starts to cut corners on some #2 models and drop features that have been standard on high end skates forever.
  4. Moving to the burbs in a few weeks and will finally be able to get myself a proper outdoor shooting setup in the driveway. Curious if you guys have any suggestions for nets/backstops to consider. It will be stored in the garage when not in use and mostly shot at using green biscuit snipes or regular ice pucks off a shooting pad. I’ve seen mixed reviews on the EZGoal so I’m looking for something a bit more durable/weatherproof in the event I do leave it out during the New England winters. Not interested in a tarp or hanging carpet setup. Thanks!!
  5. I’m curious how people are finding the fit 2 Vapor heel as well. Fit 1 has great heel lock but the rest of the skate is way too shallow and narrow compared to my 7D 1X 2.0s and 2X Pros.
  6. All the cool patterns are dead unless you order via MyBauer. I still use P106 and P91A so I feel your pain. Warrior still offers the W01(PM9) at retail. Your best bet is Sideline/Ebay or pro stocks.
  7. Are you ordering custom or do you have a source to get some of these? p15 is one of my all time favorites.
  8. Another giveaway is if it’s a random curve. There’s a guy selling a “retail P91A” ADV on SLS and god knows they aren’t making a limited run stick in that pattern lol. Edit: found it - https://sidelineswap.com/gear/hockey/sticks/one-piece-sticks/3422588-bauer-senior-right-handed-vapor-adv-heel-pattern-hockey-stick?referral_code=ZR91396
  9. The trick is to actually push down on the puck and load the shaft to generate centrifugal force and then pull upward smoothly from there. If I’m being blunt though it’s a completely useless skill and I wouldn’t spend a ton of time practicing it or worrying about it. I enjoy doing it in warmups from time to time to get my hands loose but beyond that its pretty pointless unless you plan on attempting the Michigan on a nightly basis (and dealing with the repercussions of people potentially trying to take your head off).
  10. To be fair, Bauer product managers have been spewing marketing jargon for years. What do you think lands better with largely uninformed consumers? Option 1: Fit 1 is slightly narrower than a Vapor D, Fit 2 is slightly wider - sorry for alienating our largest segment of skate buyers that default to our most popular line in a D width every release Or Option 2: Fit 1 is “basically” a Vapor. Done.
  11. I actually don’t think Vapor D and Fit 1 are the same. The Fit 1 felt closer to a pro stock C to me. The forefoot absolutely murdered my foot and the heel is definitely tighter. Never had those issues with a D vapor from the APX through the 1X 2.0.
  12. P88 is probably the closest that is readily available in terms of blade shape and lie. It’s more closed and more mid than heel but probably the best you can do right now without scouring ebay and sidelineswap. P106 is the best curve ever so I feel your pain. CCMs clone on pro stocks is the P50 if you’re willing to switch brands.
  13. People are still scarred by their likely awful experience with the LS fusion steel. This looks very similar. Presumably they’ve improved the construction process but I’m not going to hold my breath. Also kind of funny that they added weight via a hybrid TPU outsole and are now trying to sell people on lighter half composite steel. LOL.
  14. How do you know that hyper is lighter than ultra, fly, crazy, or super? There’s no globally accepted measurement scale for these types of things.
  15. How do the new CCM fits square up to the old lasts? If a D Jetspeed fits me perfectly will that sync up with a regular? Or should I be stocking up on closeout FT490s...🙃
  16. Pretty sure about 70% of the NHL is in a two piece Bauer skate. CCMs best two poster-boys (McDavid and Mackinnon) are in two piece skates. This isn’t a generational thing either. Most rookies and younger guys are still wearing Bauer.
  17. Definitely has a 1X 1.0 LE vibe to it.
  18. Easton CNT Stealth 85 Drury or Sakic. Nothing has ever come close for me. I still have dreams of randomly coming across a storage bin in Mexico or Salt Lake stocked with 40 of them. Until then - if anyone has one shoot me a PM. 😆
  19. The P92 has a deep enough pocket through the toe where you can still pull and sling it with relative ease. See: Auston Matthews.
  20. You’re also much more prone to hyper extension with the loops cut. I hate how cut loops feel and the solution is buying gloves with good flex thumbs.
  21. Used once and could basically pass as new. Uncut retail length. Asking $145 shipped within the US obo or trade for a Bauer 1S/2N Pro 77 P92.
  22. The red heel on the prototype Vapor looks awesome. Just the right amount of pop and identifiable from a distance/on TV while still being a classy looking black boot. I’m sure it will end up like the Ultrasonic with some horrible bright yellow racing stripes but here’s to hoping.
  23. @flip12 I don’t think you’re wrong at all and I’m probably chopping my words/explanation a bit. I think it’s mostly due to the fact that I tend to carry the puck in the mid-heel ish part of the blade (my first composite sticks were Modano/PM9s for the most part before I switched to Drury - wood Leetch/Lidstrom blades before all of that). At the way back of the heel the P28 is safe - mid heel you start to get into that weird twist/wedge part of the blade where unpredictable stuff starts to happen. At least for me that is. I also feel like the P28 wants you to carry the puck up by the toe and I just have a hard time unlearning the muscle memory of keeping the puck in the heel pocket for ~20 years. The 92 let’s me maintain the mechanics im comfortable with. I’m sure if I gave it enough time I’d adapt but it’s too late in the game/im too washed up to try to teach myself new tricks.
  24. Not disagreeing with any of the above, but... It’s easier to go to a P92 imo. The P28 toe is an absolute beast and you really can’t play with the puck on the heel/shoot off the heel because it’s completely straight and closed relative to the P92 and P91. Just my personal experience. After giving the P92 some time after using the P91 and P106 forever I’ve really come around to liking it - and can appreciate why it’s the most popular curve on the planet. It does everything well.
  25. Whatever the label is it’s lower than the P92/P29 and P30. The whole 5 vs 5.5 vs 6 concept doesn’t work anymore since brands can’t translate that number into anything that makes sense in the real world both across their own patterns and to other manufacturers. As a general rule of thumb I cut my lower lie sticks (P28/P106/PM9/P88) about half an inch longer than my P92 since they require me to carry the puck further from my feet to get the blade to sit flat. I use the P92 95% of the time these days so that’s my baseline measuring stick.
