AIREAYE

There were a few posts about some legal actions Sherwood took against Bauer, I wonder what happened with that?

June isn't a bad time to order. Like Jeremy said, that wouldn't be an improbable time frame. Don't wait too long though, as once your reah the middle of the summer or so, things will eventually start to pick up.

Nice one H! Happy belated.

What's up with the handle area of that shaft? It looks dimpled, but I'm assuming it's tape residue. Great find for an amazing price!

Man, when I was 13, I was collecting Pokemon, not hockey gear!

Sorry I misinterpreted, I thought you meant that you lost the box and the receipt in the dumpster.

he doesn't have the receipt...

Or a credit card statement.

What is it? Developed independently by former NHLer Tom Pederson, the Green Biscuit is an off-ice training tool aimed at helping players develop better passing and stickhandling skills. The Green Biscuit is a two-piece puck supported by three ‘posts’, which gives it a better central balance. Positives The biggest selling point on these guys definitely has to be the stability and slide. I’m not exaggerating when I say that I could send you a hard 100 ft pass on reasonably flat concrete/asphalt without it flipping or rolling over. Despite being lighter than a regulation puck (perhaps necessary to achieve its level of glide on outdoor surfaces), the friction from the ground translates into the GB mimicking very accurately the glide of a puck on ice. I have had no problems transitioning my passing motions (touch-passes, snap/slap passes, saucer passes occasionally, backhand passes etc.) onto outdoor surfaces. An interesting little behaviour quirk (not really a feature per se) that I’ve noticed is that the rebound qualities of the GB are actually very substantial. I’ve occasionally had my pass miss my target and ricochet off the brick/concrete wall of the school field I play on with almost the same velocity that it impacted with! The GB would often rebound right back to my stick like a regular pass and remain perfectly flat as well. Stickhandling is the other strong point offered by this product. Since it can remain flat and can closely approximate the glide and behaviour of a puck on ice, it is good for practising off-ice stickhandling and puck carrying. Overall, the level of glide is done well enough that one can approximate it to your average sheet of ice after a couple hours of drop-in. Before going into the negatives, I would like to stress that this product is NOT meant to be shot; it wasn’t designed to sustain such heavy impacts and will likely shatter over time as a result. That being said however, I believe that the GB is tough enough to be shot by weaker or lesser-skilled players who do not put the same velocity into their shots as others. With that, the GB can serve as very beneficial off-ice or off-season option for younger/beginner players to practise and learn basic hockey skills. Negatives After understanding that this puck isn’t meant to be shot, there aren’t a whole lot of negative aspects to it. One aspect that could bother some players would be the weight difference. I personally do not find this to be a drawback because I believe that an outdoor puck (like roller pucks) must be lighter to compensate for the greater friction of outdoor surfaces. However, if I might add one small complaint, I would say that if the GB ever starts to roll on its side, it is somewhat difficult to render it flat again, especially if there is no stick impact to help it along. Perhaps future GBs could incorporate some kind of sidewall or corner texture to prevent this. Overall Although I have mainly used this product for outdoor street hockey and fooling around (mostly on roller skates), the benefits and characteristics are all too apparent. An excellent product for anything from a light street game with friends and off-ice puck training, to teaching younger/newer players some of the basic stick skills of the game. Well worth the $15-$20.

They can alter almost anything on a custom boot fit-wise. Toebox size, forefoot width, heel width, pitch, reinforcement, tongues as well as alter the amount and thickness of the ankle padding.

Ahh, sorry to hear that man, I hope everything eventually works out for you! You definitely seem to have the know-how and credentials to back it up. Your manager didn't recognize a true asset when he saw one. However like you said, there will always be opportunities and sometimes you will have to look harder for them. Good luck!

Quick, SRS shaft repair! But then again, being a mid-kick stick... eh still a really cool find!

Love the protective FatPhilly, are the Projekt elbows and shoulders NHL prostock or retail?

More like a bandwagon

Duncan, apparently it's true that FBV jigs can't work well with 4mm wide steel and that the 3mm ones on the One100 are fine. I asked about it today and I've been told basically the same thing as jimmy mentioned here, except for the effectiveness for goalies part. The employee should've explained that in the first place in one go though haha. Perhaps a new goalie-specific jig will widen compatibility? Don't know about the length of time needed though.

The first few paint chips and scratches are the WORST, especially on customs...

Congrats! It's the best feeling haha, enjoy Frosh Week/O-Week!

Excellent work! It looks very sharp...aesthetically

Perhaps the receipt or copy of the order was in there? I received no such envelope. However, it might have come with my package, I wouldn't know.

I personally really like the look of the black writing on the black shaft, it looks much better in person than online imo.

I've been honestly looking everywhere for these! Our buyer decided not to order them, which I can understand, as Easton protective seems to always be unspectacular. The Easton Synergy series of elbow pads though, seem to do it for me. Have you had a chance to compare this pair to some others? Also, what pricpoint were they at?

Did you specifically choose the scalloped? For what reason?

About time you came on MSH!

If I was that sales guy, I'd probably get a little annoyed...but then again I probably would've recognized him and ask him to sign that stick for display or whatever

I believe some are while others are legit old stock. There aren't too many commonly noticeable differences anyhow. Best ask a manager who knows the different SKU in the computer
