Where have you ever seen white friction tape ?

As a person that has coached twins, it's not easy! Especially when they switch numbers occasionally just to mess with you lol

@Steve_v3 You literally had me at your disposal a week and a half ago...you watched me grill burgers and punch @stick9's skate at the same time...LOL

I could've sworn we tried to pull this as an April Fools joke one year...

Yea but now Bauer is all about being ‘inclusive’ so I’m sure, new names aside, that they’re taking appropriate measures to reduce the costs of their products to open up the game to more people… right???

If you think the new logo change is funny, just wait until you see the names of the the 2022 items being refreshed. 😕

You’re all right. Honestly the 7.5 feels very similar to the 8 except the ridge they put at the front of the toe box to take up space. However as is always the case my left foot still was barely touching and my right was a little more then grazing. Will return the 7.5 for 7 which they also have to order from another store. p.s I did try on a 6.5 when ordering the 7.0 just to see. Literally could not get my foot in. Also if the area just before the toe box is too wide is that a problem? Obviously narrow causes pain and such but if there’s a lot of space side to side is that negative

It was like that across the two leagues they played in. l never really thought much of it. I've got no problem with the kids looking uniform, especially as they move up the ranks. The person you're referring to has been the director (and coach) of a pretty successful Tier 2 program, mite through midget major, for over twenty years at this point. He must be doing something right. I've never heard anyone complain about little Braden using a helmet that matches his jersey or not using neon green laces when the team colors are black and red. /shrug

you know whats funny i was just watching a preseason game and they were showing them mic'cing guys up and its this mic and has this battery/transmitter pack that looks like it weighs as much as a cell phone or something, and these dudes are wearing them all the time to play in actual NHL games. made me think of this thread and the "performance" enhancements 😂😂😂

I have zero interest in continuing any of this dialogue with you. You want to disagree for the sake of disagreeing. I don’t give a shit about saving a few grams here and there, but you’re either missing the point of what I’m saying or you don’t care and just want to argue. Regardless, I’m done replying to you on this topic. Enjoy your miserable, angry life

Don't you badmouth my beloved Micron Mega 10-90's! They were the shiznit! 🤣

every bit does not count. your personal bodyweight fluctuates far more week to week than those runners. its absolutely a gimmick. i am all for gear whoring and love gear. but a couple grams here or there does not matter, at all. when your legs are pushing you through a turn they are dealing with your entire bodyweight plus the g forces of your turn. the skate blade is LITERALLY ON THE GROUND having no impact on your leg at all. the only time that couple ounces has any affect is when you lift your leg UP, and thats the part of the stride that doesnt matter for anything! the only time the weight of your blade would matter is when your foot is OFF the ice. no skater gets tired from picking their skate blade up. its the PUSHING and everything you do when your blade is sitting on the ice. thats what matters. its a ridiculous concept from the get. just meant to get a lower number on a chart so gear whores buy it.

youre not reducing the weight youre legs are carrying around by 35% by swapping out half a runner with carbon fiber, what are you talking about? they carry your entire body. all 180+ pounds plus all the G forces going on, multiplying that force on your legs through normal skating. 4 ounces doesnt matter. and where are these aluminum runners? they dont exist. because aluminum would be a horrible material for a runner. this is simple stuff bud. you’re digging yourself into a hole by saying some pretty stupid/easily disproved things. Stop while you’re ahead
