That RY code and different player name font implies that those are Tacks pro team sticks - explains the heavier weight. Those are not true AS4 Pros. They’re fine sticks used by college and CHL teams on a budget but you didn’t get what was advertised.

He’s also fortunate to have not missed significant time to injury. I wouldn’t mind seeing him get close to 99 or pass him. Records only mean so much if they’re from an era where no one will ever touch them.

Speaking of the injury thing, here is a great book around that, Gift of Injury. Stuart McGill is a leading expert on backs, I do his Big 3 every day to try to keep my lower back under control. Brian Carroll squatted 1306 after a back injury when working with McGill. https://www.amazon.com/Injury-Stuart-McGill-Brian-Carroll/dp/0973501863

What would you like to know about them? They are fantastic. Here are pics of them. https://photos.app.goo.gl/78TTiq7masasLDrZ9

I don’t know anything about the insoles but I did order a set of the flex tendon guards and installed on my TF9s with a copper rivet. These flex guards are noticeably more flexible and I have found them to be an improvement over my originals. Something to consider if you do order the flexible guards is they did not come with a screw or nut for install. It might be possible to reuse the original nut and screw, but since I have my own riveter I went that route.

Not to derail but Joe D just did a podcast where he revisited an article he wrote 18 years ago. Some things still held true, some things he does differently now. I've been following Louie Simmons (RIP) and Westside stuff since I was in college. I came home one day and my brother told me he just got off the phone with Louie. 45 minutes the guy spent on the phone with my brother, who was like 19 or something at the time, after he just cold called him. The guy was all about sharing knowledge. Check out the Westside vs. The World documentary if you haven't already.

I don't think Ovechkin has ever really needed an enforcer, the guy's a bull. He still has 4 years to put up 114 goals. So he'll have to essentially put up 29 goals a season. He may get close, it'd be awesome to see. It depends on whether Washington can continue to retool around him as well. The roster's been aging.

Hey folks! I'm a goalie starting a new team in the Copper division for the fall season. Looking for players who might be interested. I'm planning to use the logo I had commissioned for a previous team. Please let me know if you're in the area and are up for joining a new team!
