So I'm standing in my LHS waiting for my skates to be sharpened when a little kid 10 yrs old tops and his dad walk in. The kid probably 80 pounds walks straight to the sticks and picks up an Easton Classic shaft. Kid:"Dad I need to buy this it's aluminum, Brendan Shanahan used one"(the shaft is taller than the kid probably 110 flex) Dad:"OK just find a blade" (kid walks over to blades) Me: you probably shouldn't buy that for him, he won't be able to flex it. Dad: Could you stay out of my business Me: Sorry, just trying to help(walk to get my skates and leave) As I'm driving off I see them walk out with it, wow.
