Rustyhole

thankfully my patience testing ended when i bougt my XXV's. now, i'm like "meh... when they're out, they're out". but if i was still looking, maybe little different, yes? uuumm, no.

i believe it means... x40 replaces XXV; x60 replaces xxxx x50 is new there is no x25 hence no nbh x40's, maybe see xxxx's on closeout however

Drewhunz, maybe JR's on to something :lol:

nice hockeydawg44!!! wish they were mine are they 8.5ee??? j/k wow all skates should come w/black holders:D

hehehe my new thing is always buying sticks/blades in pair my friends think i'm retarded having so many sticks (currently 27) but i don't like using the same one consecutively i can't see me using a red SiCore when i wear my green jersey?? okay maybe i've more in common with rustpot than i thought :P

well, the neon would work the best IMO as it will definately darken with dirt/sweat/etc... used to do the same with my sticks but didn't like the discoloration of my gloves with so many colors on my handles they just added up to that swampwater color. so now only the blade is matched colorwise you could try camo! :) my LHS only made one order and none since (that I've seen) so matching up is not an option. generally the two shades they have of most colors is close enough for me.

Canadian Tire regularily has a nice bright green $5.19 CDN (1"x25m) also seen at sport chek but sporadic $5.99 CDN (1"x25m) also LHS has it (1.25"x18m) generally around $3 bucks I think quite easy to find actually if you're a Canadian! :P

Super Nice!!! :)

their adverstizing does nothing for me, seems a bit random cover going after the 80s metalhead and the Johnson going after someone still smokin' stuff grown in the 70s that said, next shaft will probably be a AK27

mitts & jersey are sweet!!! Kudos to you definately the mitts skates not so much I like the 'IDEA' of white skates but in actuality, with all the variations I've seen here on MSH, not so much. Keep rockin' them tho

Merry Christmas to me! Merry Christmas to me! Merry Christmas, O' Rustyhole! Merry Christmas to me! 07 NBH Vapor XXV's - 8.5EE these look sicker in person as I didn't realise the chrome on back was there I can't wait... unfortunately no games till new year. May have to find a outdoor rink to create havoc!

Product: Easton Synergy Si-Core Grip RH 'Modano' 85 flex. Background: 5'8 195 lbs. BLADE: I can't say there's a great feel for me to this blade, it feels like really stiff cardboard!! Not too impressed with the feel after all I heard. Great durabilty as after 6 mths no cracks or anything. 7/10 FLEX- 85 flex; this flex definately suits me and my ability and strength level; great. 10/10 (note - I have other sticks with this flex as well) STICKHANDLING/FEEL- I'm so-so for stickhandling and the feel of the Si-Core kinda sucked so that's not too good 5/10 WEIGHT/BALANCE- the weight was slightly lighter than my UltraLite & Z-Bubble but the balance is about the best I've tried (props to the UltraLite there) . Sits nice in the hands. 8.5/10 DURABILITY- no probs with durability for other than some minor paint chipping (what do you expect a 70mph puck (or the boards!!) to do. I would get another on on that alone 9/10 SHOOTING/PERFORMANCE - while my slapper has improved I find it harder to adjust my wrist shot (typicallly my strength). I think I'm trying too hard to get a 'whip' effect by dragging the stick. 6/10 OVERALL - I was pleased as this was my first OPS. It gets points for not breaking in the first game! LMAO! While the blade feel wasn't quite what I expected and took some getting used to I'd give it a good score of .... FINAL SCORE: 8/10 EDIT: JR informed me I had to add individual scores so I did. (along with some needed spelling corrections)
