    the fit centres aren't live yet in Canada, at least not at my location in Ottawa. Depending on what chain of hockey shops you have on the east coast I would call them to inquire if any of their locations are getting a fit station. I know in the Ottawa area the shop I'm at is the only Source for Sports location getting one, not sure about the Pro Hockey Life

    They're going through retailers. My store is getting a fitting station set up in the coming weeks.

    I don't hate the jerseys. I remember people having similar reactions when the stars made the change to the current jerseys. The gloves are absolutely atrocious. I can't believe the uniform police in the NHL and at adidas didn't intervene on that one

    Looks like we're getting a fitting station at the Valiquettes source for sports in Ottawa in the coming weeks, in case anybody is in my neck of the woods :)

    I found it easiest to just call them and order the replacement blades over the phone

    hats off JR, congrats on the wedding thats amazing. Hoping for nothing but the best for you two!

    Appreciate the pictures, is it safe to say that the scooter pattern is a p28 clone with a different more traditional blade shape? a la p92?
  8. adam14
    I was a little confused by the curves themselves, I was really intrigued by the scooter pattern in right handed but its so hard to compare it to a digital p28 pattern. Does anyone happen to have one they could post side by side to either a p92 or a p28?

    If you're a righty, schieffele, zaitsev and zidlicky all use a variation of Kovalchuks pro pattern which is essentially what the Gionta curve was.

    So last summer I had to get a cyst/calcium buildup removed, a bursa sack had formed around it and everything and it was right against my spine on my lower back. The surgeon informed me that it was a relatively common spot for athletes due to contact and falls and the abuse on my tailbone after having played AAA level up to junior for pretty much the entirety of my minor hockey. Skip forward, and the cut from the procedure still hasn't closed properly, and every time I talk to a doctor they tell me its just draining and to wait it out. A month ago I talked to a specialist and after examining it, he believes that they didn't remove everything, so he told me to keep an eye on it. Low and behold about 5 days ago, something pops or rips and now I have a fresh open wound inches from where the last incision was made. Unbelievably frustrating to say the least. And living in a new city for grad school and not having a doctor here, emergency rooms and walk in clinics are my only option so for the most part I haven't been able to see anybody to get it looked at properly.

    apart from buff, he's also the only person i've seen flop in VH's

    Look at the senators right now. Theyre having a decent season I'd say and yet had 14,000 fans in 2 of three games I went to last week. And Ottawa is considered a top market.

    Want.
  14. adam14
    this is incorrect.

    Still looks more appealing than than the 1s, any VH skate I've seen to date, any Graf skate to come out with giant logos or neon yellow. The red accents on the heel and tendon do look rather vapor-esque I agree. But the low key plain black/gun metal without patterns printed all over it a la 1s/ super tacks makes them look clean.

    Really sharp looking skate.

    Literally 40 minutes away from where it was filmed.

    Counting down the days here until I can move from my current hometown (50k people northern Ontario) to Ottawa for post graduate studies. Astounding how accurate the stereotypes are for a "dead end town" cause that's exactly what this place is turning into.

    Haglunds is about lack of heel lock more so than what the speed plate is designed to do.

    Superfeet has a 60 day money back guarantee

    Any idea on when the rest of the catalogue will get posted? Got to see the whole skate line up close and personal this past week and would love to see the spec list on some of the midline skates, as if I recall the 6052 will still have a full composite boot at a very competitive price point
  22. adam14
    the heel lock is entirely dependent on the foot, not the skate. the heel shape comes back around to the skate model that you try on, generally the supreme line has more volume, and a more "rounded u shape" in the heel where as the vapors tend to have a more "v shape" due to being a shallower narrower skate, even adjusting for width.
  23. adam14
    So are the only major differences between the super tacks skate and the ultra tacks the one piece boot and therefore the ultra tacks falling lower in price point? Are there other major differences?

    Heard back from 2 schools about post grad studies in September. After fumbling around at university the last few years it's nice to finally kind of have some direction in what to do next
  25. adam14
    I wish more people realized that if they were to order custom skates through anybody, and they had to get rid of said skates, the only thing stopping them from being "pro stock" is the fact they aren't an actual pro. * note this isn't directed at people that deal with pro's and want in no way to step on toes I just feel as if people love the easy way out take what they can get
