Yeah, I’ve been looking too. Closest I found are these https://www.greatsaves.org/product-page/skate-lace-eliminators anyone have experience with those?
-
No actually. I've looked a few times out of curiosity. The easiest solution seemed to be trying to make it with a 3D printer and the right kind of plastic or going to a cobbler to see if they could work it out.
-
Any idea where to find those these days? I've been looking for a new pair for years. The 55flex website doesn't exist any longer.

I rock these for knee compression when I play hockey as well as baseball and have had good results: Knee brace compression sleeves Not sure how much of a gimmick the copper infusion is, but hey if it works it works.

Just noticed Doughty's got 55-Flex lace extenders. Is this his way of dealing with the switch from (semi-)soft shell to hard shell Vapors? He now contends with Jagr for the all-time Frankenskate.

I am not using the skate with the reflex tendon much anymore. I def prefer a fixed tendon guard. Feels more natural for backwards skating and just a better feel overall feel to me completely. I am going to stick with my M4 Supremes in the Bauer Lineup. Nothing else fits as well or feels as good, I tried on everything. My only other skate is the Ribcore Titanium Skate based on the 76k with a few upgrades. Took 3 to 4 skates and love it almost as much as the M4.

Yes you're right. The og sakic isn't made anymore and the p92 was the "backstrom" that was slightly modified version of the sakic. I totally forgot about the evolutionary changes to the curve. I rmbr when I went to base hockey during that time and cliff ronning was telling me about the p92 they just got that was a newer sakic. After that visit I went out and got a p92 totalone lol. With that said, the p92 versions across all brands are slightly different as well. You can tell not only just by looking at it but also how the tape lays on the blade when taping. Back on the topic of the p28, I prefer Bauer and trues p28 over ccm, but I use ccm bc their sticks feel better for me. Well true feels good but they're as durable as toothpicks.

I have a teammate who has a basement wall lined with them and a storage unit as well.

Forgot to mention I picked up a pair of large, CCM HP45’s at last years Anaheim Ducks sale for only $25. They have worked out great.
-
Gotcha. I thought that's what you meant, but just wanted to be sure. His pro pattern looks amazing. I know @decoy is a huge fan of it.
-
Good question. I don't mean his pro-stock pattern. I guess, it would be the original retail offering. The one that also jived with Warriors Drury. So probably right around the time Innovative became Warrior, or there abouts.
-
What do you mean by “the real Sakic?”
-
The Hall (E3) was much closer to the real Sakic, maybe even exact. Which most people believe is the P92 but it's not. The OG Sakic was a more a straight up mid curve with a slightly open face and a lie in the 5's. The rocker was flatter than the 92 as well. I assume this was simply an evolution or an effort to combine multiple similar patterns into one. The closest thing I found to a real Sakic was the P19 Nugent-Hopkins. Very similar just not as deep. Even that pattern changed at some point.

I believe I read it on this forum in the past ..... Kucherov is slightly closed, Pasta is slightly more open curve, BUT they both are VERY similar to the P28. I like the Kucherov pattern, the shorter blade length & the blade shape (beveled bottom toe) .... I was coming from a P92, a P88 yrs before that, PM9 many yrs previous to that. This over over 20 yrs mind you, I love the P28 now, so easy to use for myself. You have to adapt & trying new things often takes time. I use to be 70 flex, but go with 77 now. I've not seen a Pasta curve in person. Again, likely VERY similar to the P28. (my current sticks) - 2NPROXL build 👍🏽 ..... dressed as a SYNC (college pro stock), tactile grip, the blade has the KUCH stamped from the mold itself ......$200 after ship/tax. I assume most people on this forum "know" that ya pay the $100 extra for a retail stick (warranty). Pro teams do not pay retail prices, 2 yrs ago an NHL EQ man told me they pay $200 for sticks, no team gets a "deal" over another team. (This NHL team sells off old inventory to PSH) ..... $100 per stick, this makes it easy for the EQ man to unload extra inventory (and they have a lot of extra inventory at seasons end). The "pro stock" stick market has taken off the past ten (?) years.

Seeking Pro-Stock pants recommendations
Don_Quixote replied to beedee's topic in Ice Hockey Equipment
The warrior covert qre pro has excellent back/tailbone protection among pro stock pants. the lower back guard is the thickest of any pro stock pant ive seen, at least an inch thick and very sturdy. then the tailbone is a curved one-piece pastic insert with foam, kind of like the shells they use for the hip except shaped to protect the tailbone. the ccm hptk x or xp is also good. there is a nice thick segmented dense foam section for the tailbone. the only drawback is the section is quite narrow, so if your pants shifted during the fall you could miss it completely on impact. i will note that these pants are otherwise not super protective imo. relatively small hip shells, and not much padding except on the hip, front thighs and kidney/waist. i think the reason for their popularity among nhl players is their mobility--there is decent protection on high risk areas, but they are not overbuilt like the hp70 x (which, by comparison, has the largest hip shells of any pro stock pant, and hard shell protection on both the front and back of the thigh) no pant is really designed to protect the tailbone if you fall straight downward though, like hitting the ice in an upright seated position. the padded shorts like tortoise pads would help somewhat with that type of fall, because the tailbone protection wraps around the glute rather than hanging behind. ideally, if you're falling backward, try to hit the ice with your whole back (but not your head). if youre really serious about injury prevention, learning a bit of judo would go a long way. obviously you cant control how you fall every time on the ice, but those judo guys are really good at controlling their falls so that they distribute their weight on impact. -
Howdy, I really need to show my wife that sticks picture. Mark

That is an insane number of sticks.

Pickups from some recent travels. Franklin Vipers pants Easton Pro pants navy 6K Pro M/L shoulders and a full family photo

If you're happy with the blade manufacturer's stock profile, then I'd get a shim. If you're going to get the blade profiled anyways, you might as well just have the pitch added to the profile.
-
This would make sense actually. I remember watching or reading somewhere about the thousands of curve moulds Warrior has. I imagine every manufacturer has a few hundred p28 variants alone. I’d assume the use the most common variant maybe… Anyone from manufacturers in here that could jump into this convo? Would be fascinating to get inside info
-
Either works. If you have someone skilled with profiling, I would pitch the blade, but the easier method is a shim.
-
Agreed. Great sock for the price point.
-
I second FoxRiver. They're great and pretty durable for how thin they are.
-
Nothing beats Darn Tough's warranty!

P28 was never associated to Hall. As far as I can recall hall was p92 (at the time E3)
