The sticks are very comfortable to hold......

I would love to see the Sher-wood Bourque curve re-done. I'll have to digging tonite for the one blade that I've saved for all these years

Sounds like an LMC kinda night there Chippa, and I completely agree, I love beating that team

it's not as noticable as the dagger taper and intellisense is no longer with the vapor line like previous years. along the glove lines, the MX3 fits a little looser than the NXG because the poron is moved from inside the liner to the outside of the glove. still haven't seen the skates, but the speed plate is definatley interesting

Absolutely awesome night as I jumped on the opportunity to sharpen skates for a major D1 school tonite and tomorrow on the road also. A super experience for sure. Can't wait for the bus ride tomorrow.

Having a sub goalie and have him not even try after the first half of the first period

Women....

after my first week at the new job, I'm loving it. helping people with the sport I love is pretty damn awesome

Just finished my second interview for a new job and it looks promising. the new dilemma is the fact I have a potential deal at another job at a local shop. Probably the best problem I've had in the past ten years

Sprained my ankle crashing into the boards last night. hopefully it isn't too severe as I haven't had anything like this happen before

I've been looking at these skates thinking that they would be pretty sweet as an ice conversion. So for the guys that have done this, How've they stood up to the ice game? without actually holding the skate I have no clue

I'm in the market for a new set of wheels, so I'm very interested on hearing how they fit/ perform

those were AMAZING skates, pretty much wore mine out. Is that a coupon for "Oates to Neely to You"?

those whalers 4-rolls are smexy

is that newburyport? i think i've skated with you over in salem a few times during stick time

i might be interested in the ccm shoulders as well pending the size

Finally got a job interview that doesn't involve retail. Hopefully it goes through and I don't have to go through another hours cut because "we don't have hours for you" excuse I get every year

those just look smexy

i would kill for that blue tinted one. had an oakley 832 2.0 with that tint and absolutley loved it.

Stick: Easton Synergy ST '10 version Pattern/ Flex: Zetterberg (p4) 100 flex, matte version Background: A/B level Men's League 5'11" 220lbs Defenseman More of a shoot first type of d-man. I use snapshots and slappers most of the time and I'm very hard on my sticks. Use: 4 months 1-2 mens league games and 1-2 stick practice per week Previous sticks owned: Bauer x:40, CCM U+07, RBK 7k, Rbk 8.0.8 Visuals: I really like the look of the flat black with the orange accents. Makes it look very sleek and not really flashy like other sticks that are on the market. 10/10 Shaft: Comming from grip covered sticks, I was very impressed with the grip I got from the matte coating. It made stickhandling easier by allowing my bottom hand to slide a bit more but also had a little "grip" for the amount of tourque I need while shooting. Balance was blade heavy but I ended up cutting it down 3" and inserting a wood buttend. The flex rating at full length was a little too flexible for my taste as it was more like a 90 flex but the addition on the butt-end added the stiffness I was looking for. 8/10 Blade: This is what I was both impressed and a little disappointed with. The feel was very good and responsive and I really liked how little (if any) the blade tourqued while shooting. Passes seemed to stick really well and it didn't feeling as pingy as the x:40 blade was. The disappointing part was how quickly the toe of the blade got chewed up after only a few games and more or less dissintegrated over time. 7/10 Stickhandling/ Passing: Handling the puck was a pleasure with this stick. Probably the best feeling composite I've ever owned. Passes really stuck to the blade and the P4 curve excells in just about all passes I dish out. 10/10 Shooting: For a stick that was built more on a durability standpoint, this thing shoots very well. Slapshots have plenty of pop but aren't as fast as I'm usually used to. Snapshots and backhanders are pretty effortless and have good zip to them but like my slapshots, they aren't as fast. 8/10 Durability: This is where I have mixed thoughts on. The shaft is an absolute tank. It has taken it's share of blocked shots and hacks from other players and has no signs of dying anytime soon. The blade is what I found disappointing. The toe started crumbling after only a few weeks and the middle of the blade gave out and broke a month or so later. 6/10 Final thoughts: I bought this stick after I had broken multiple sticks over a short period of time. I usually break sticks somewhere in the shaft and this shaft is still going strong. After the blade broke, I converted it into a shaft and I still use it as a backup. I paid $160 at the time for the stick but how the blade broke would keep me from buying another one. Overall 8/10

became an uncle to a pair of identical twin boys. can't wait to see them when my sister brings them up from virginia

Just got told by my mother that's she's filing for divorce after 29 years. My dad doesn't know, but I have no idea how to take it. Figures that I was having a great day up til that point

i've seen them for 110-120 depending on the brand/stock

puts the true meaning in "show it off"
