- Thrashers is indeed terrible, but I like that they tried (and failed) an asymmetrical pattern - The Habs barberpole PJ and the Kachina are both so bad that it's somehow good

I am all for evolution but it has to be validated by science.

This has been one of the points I was trying to make, the Quads are seemlessly blended. It’s not like you have a 6’ section which abruptly changes to a 9’. You have a point on the blade that is a 6’ and a point on the blade that is 9’ and between the two it has to gradually transition, else you would have a series of scallops. So while the quad or Zuperior may not mathematically be an ellipse, what is the practical difference between them? Prosharp needs Some much better product management and go to market than just claiming “revolutionary” new shapes. What problem is it solving? Who benefits? How does that get communicated to the end user?

I was watching the BU game where he got paralyzed. I was on the phone with the now Mrs. when he went for a big hit and missed. She heard my "ooohhh" over the phone and asked what happened. I told her some kid just knocked himself cold. Then you could see that he was awake and you knew what had happened. Travis could have sulked and vanished but instead became such a great inspiration and advocate. It is a huge loss that he is no longer with us.

I switched out a concept III for the FV1 that I got on sale a week ago (3 skates), and I’m amazed at how much better it is. The Bauer would always start fogging up down low and get worse as the hour progressed, but the FV1 has stayed crystal clear. Not exactly sure why, they seem to look almost identical, but maybe it sits a touch further away from my face.
