I love, love, love seeing all your hard work over the years applied to games! Nice hustle, solid puck protection. I'll agree with the others, you definitely want to try to remain on the defensive side of the puck. Get lower into the defensive zone to present yourself as an option between the hash marks and the blue line. If you get the puck, take the first few strides to get the opponents into a defensive mode and either your center or opposite wing "should" be breaking out of the zone with speed.

Until it breaks. I'm usually around 2 years on my prostocks. I play D and I'm not a heavy shooter.

It flipped? Good to know, I was considering making the switch.

My friend's sticks arrived. Two RH 91A's in 77 flex. He was told they're the old Synergy but with a mid-kick. Flex feels high-mid, not low. Based on where the blade meets the shaft he's guessing it's a Bauer mold, not Easton. He's guessing a prior Supreme like 2S Pro. Grip shaft with sandpaper blade. If it's worth anything the sticker on the blade says: 1061418 Easton Synergy Grip Stk-SR-77(60")

My friend ordered two of them, when they come in I'll see if he knows what they are under the paint job. He's guessing some sort of Bauer Supreme.

If you've advanced that much, I'd say challenge yourself and step up a division for the next season. You'll never get better playing weaker competition.

Wow, I thought my Graf G75 Ultra Lites were feathers at 417 grams or whatever they were. Unfortunately, I had multiple break during gameplay so they got retired though having a bunch due to being inexpensive.

This is interesting. I play at 3 (Ice House) and it'd definitely depend on the roster. I also believe it's one of the larger mens leagues in the country. Pre-covid they were up to 8 or 9 divisions that were packed with 8+ teams per division usually.

I was so excited to see this thread pop up! Damn, probably better on one leg than I am at this point! Once you're comfortable with it, see if you can keep the planted leg's knee bent a little more, so you can pump and control more with that leg than your lifted leg. Awesome that you're working on these finer skills. Outside edge stops look incredibly smooth and fluid. Your step over following it is nice and smooth. Hope you're doing well and please keep posting updates! Six years into this venture how do you feel about it? Are you still loving it?

My original A6.0 got sticky as well. Sit's in my basement at the same 60-70 degrees year-round.

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

As a Graf lover, yes.

I agree with IPv6Freely. I work in Adobe Illustrator all day long, but unfortunately I don't have the time right now for any side stuff.

Nope. I go until one breaks then the next one's up.

I witnessed three of our younger players on a summer team I coach attempt the Michigan during games this summer. The skill some of them have and integrate into the game is wonderful.

It'll be interesting to see if he can get close to Gretzky's scoring record. He'd have to average about 30 goals per season.

In the '90s it was like the higher the flex, the more manly you were. Aluminum sticks, 100 flex, etc. Completely ignored flex in some search of ego or something. I think stick technology has evolved so much that you can now let the sticks do the work for you. Takes some adjustment depending on the sticks and your body type, mechanics. Over the years I've gone from nose height on skates to chin height. And I've dropped from 77 flex to flipping between 65 and 55 Gaudreau pro stocks. I'm 5'7", 145 lbs.

Well, they avoided the sweep, but delayed the inevitable. The fact that the Islanders took Tampa to a game 7 shows how close to cup contention they were.

The Zorro? Pavel Barber has a lot of tutorials on it. It took me months to get the basic motions down, and even then, I can't do it in anything other than warm-ups. I usually have to go forward then pull back. If you want an aid in learning, try a softer wax like Sex Wax. The funny thing is that all I concentrated on in my youth was skating, skating, and skating. As an adult, I'm actually working on my hands for a change. Especially since I'm slowing down as I get older.

I had to have mine profiled, but absolutely love them for years at this point.

They fixed the issues of the original APX Fusion steel bubbling, warping or separating?

1) Bauer APX 2) Graf 703 I didn't care for anything else I've owned, including Mission Amp Flyweights, Bauer Air90's and Bauer X60 LE's.

The Coleman and Goodrow acquisitions are working out pretty nicely. As a Devils fan, I love seeing Coleman succeed wherever he is. Heart and soul player.

I think it was on ESPN when I was a kid, but they had roller hockey, but the ends of the rink were like half-pipes. Does anyone else remember this? Is it still a thing?

Oof. I made the mistake of buying a Nike aluminum shaft. Black with bronze graphics. I don't know if I ever ended up using it in a game. Definitely gave it away at some point. Would have been great for home defense lol. I remember Innovative and Combat now that they're mentioned. Fisher? Was that a brand?
