Thanks for the info and quick response... I just got done playing so i'll try to carefully remove them, bake, and then try to re-install the inserts.

Two from Today here in Qatar

Anyone have experience baking skates once the powerfoot inserts have been added to the skates??? I know common sense tells me it wouldn't be the best for the adhesive that attaches the insert to the toe cap of the skate, but I just put Superfeet yellow insoles in my skates and would like to re-bake them to accommodate for the slight heel lift from the Superfeet. Any info or past experience of baking skates that already have powerfoot inserts would be greatly appreciated. P.S. I freaking love my powerfoot inserts and would feel weird skating without them! Thanks gang

I have no visible bruising today but there is some swelling and I'm definitely feeling it in the muscle. He got me right on the outside of the pec, almost in the armpit, and I don't carry much "natural padding." Got called in for an extra shift at work, which I'm taking as a sign that I should use the money to buy a Passau. Finally shot an email that way. Luckily, the boss thinks the gear for my hobbies all looks the same; maybe I can squeak this under the radar. And then I really, really need to be done buying goalie gear. Still cheaper than insurance deductibles, I guess.

Clinic report: Due to unforeseen scheduling and weather issues, I haven't played since last Wednesday. Surprisingly rusty after just a week off. Sleep deprivation didn't do me any favors either. Really struggling with high blocker and low glove-side stick saves. Even better, the drills tonight were all odd man rushes and breakaways. Since breakaways mess with both my psyche and my mechanics, I played the shooter tutor game for most of the night, then turned it on when it (kind of) mattered during a shootout competition at the end, stuffing 9/10. Ended the night with a nice stinger in the chest from the one other guy I actually talk to at this clinic. I really need a new chest protector. On a positive note, my butterfly slides were actually pretty good for once. Apparently a week of visualization actually helped.
