My Mako conversion. Thanks to @JR Boucicaut and the new MSH Pro Shop!

That for sure is glue residue. Sometimes it can seep out after a baking when not there when you first see it. I can assure you that will not be an issue at all. I thought you were talking about the flap on the tendon guard that flips up to make it easier to change.

Sniper, I completely understand your point and my last comment wasn't really about your previous comments. It was about the face palm I received by another. It is no big deal, I just thought is was funny. I will post some pictures later this evening when I get a chance, but I have to get some sleep. I work overnights and should have already been to bed hours ago. I was just waiting to see what kind of trades in the NHL were going down today. Thanks for the friendly discussion and advice.

My comment didn't mean to be negative. You have every right to be concerned about whatever it is, as you're the one spending quite a bit of money on something and have your own level of expectation. Like you said, if it doesn't get worse it's all good and only time will tell. Hopefully for you it'll be ok. At the same time, true does offer a 6 mth warranty period with is double of other manufacturers, which means the stand behind their products. I am curious how the remake looks like though if you don't mind posting a picture of that.

Well, Datsyuk got his well deserved Olympic gold, I suppose the only accolade he was missing. He can now retire a fully accomplished hockey legend. I feel however that Canada got cheated out of the gold finals with one-sided calls. If any team, Canada was the one who should have faced OAR for the gold.

So, I might be more picky about things than most other people, but my thought is that I spend hard earned money on nice and expensive things that I would like to last for a good while. Simple fact of the matter is, on a high end skate that True is supposed to be, the outer liner material or whatever you want to call it, should not be wearing away after one game. If that doesn't bother other people than that's great, more power to them, I really do honestly hope they are happy with their skates. For me, I will be fine with it and enjoy the skates, as long as it doesn't get any worse. I do have concerns with the durability of the skate at this point in time, but I don't understand how that deserves a face palm. Anyway, I will stop talking about it as I have made my situation and concerns obviously known by now.

From these pics it looks fine. I think this whole ordeal has gotten you to knit pick every little detail. I am pretty sure mine are probably the same way as that area is a high traffic area for rubbing. As for the carbon fiber issue on the heel of your skate, are you sure they did a complete rebuild or did they just try to fix the skate. Can you post pics or that?

Sweet looking! Very nice setup.

McDavid and Eichel are very different skaters at a technical level. They are both elite, but the manner in which they achieve their elite status is very different. There are many shades of gray in between. Coffey was a treat to watch and I still like looking at video of the way he skated. Robby Glantz does an excellent breakdown of Eichel and McDavid here: colins

The glue part between the tendon guard and the ankle pads in the picture might be residual, and if that is all it is than great, but there is definitely either material or paint on the liner that is worn away. As long as it doesn’t get worse I will live with it. It is disappointing though.
