A brand new (now my 3rd) Sher-Wood T90 Undercover slim-fit. Taped, waxed, and ready for action this weekend!

Wife and I have decided we will be moving to Canada in two years, shortly after I gain my US citizenship.

I highly doubt any are. Hell, the only ice skates that are similar are the VH.

I scrolled through the catalog hoping to see them bring back the white projekt elbows, knowing full well that they wouldn't be there. Did it anyway.

You can hire pet-sitters, if you weren't aware of that option.

Just had my initial email conversation with Scott regarding an order :)

Helmet: Bauer Re-Akt w/ cage Shin pads: Easton Mako Pants: Bauer One80 Shoulder pads: Down Low Shoulder Pads Elbow pads: Warrior Projekt (2010 white model) Skates: Easton Mako Gloves: Sher-Wood EK15 Stick: Sher-Wood T90 Undercover slim-fit 70 flex PP007

I agree with Cosmic - the fit of the boot more than makes up for the need to wear a sleeve on my leg for where it rubs. Minor inconvenience. But at least Easton saw that there was an issue and addressed it.

Defect isn't the right word. I think design flaw would be a better way to describe it.

Yep, if they know about it and fixed it, then it's the fault of the skate, not the person wearing it.

The ankle is fine. It's the lining at the top of the boot that does the damage. It's a defect, not an improperly fitting skate.

Good luck if you did a DOD-level wipe on the drive. Sorry about the circumstances - that sucks.

They do fit me right, though.

Agreed on both points. The education system is broken. When making money and producing a winning football team is more important than educating its students, you know there is something wrong. Unfortunately, money is what drives this world, so it's pretty unlikely to change. Good call on the accounting degree. Being flexible is so important. Thats why while I would never EVER encourage somebody to get an IT-related degree (complete waste of time and money), those people should absolutely work towards a general business degree part time while working after they read some books and take some tests :). You may think at first that you just want to be technical forever, but a decade into it and you will start wanting to rise up the ranks into sales engineering or management. The business degree opens up a ton of options for your future once hands-on technical work burns you out.

I really hope they did fix that issue with the Mako II. It's one thing for skates to not fit correctly and be uncomfortable or even painful, but its a whole other thing to actually cause physical harm to THIS many people. I almost feel like Easton should be offering discounted (or even free) upgrades to the new model for those who are having this issue (but I'm also not delusional and realize that's not how the real world operates). Oh well. I'll just keep wearing my neoprene sleeve...

I likely failed the JNCIE lab today. 8 hours of configuring routers... sigh. Exhausting. Can't wait to fly home.

For sure, the experience is what makes it.

I would think it would be much better in a football stadium than a baseball stadium, don't you think? Though you're right, neither are ideal by any means.

Gunnarson wears 13s? Huh. I'd expect that from Phil, but Gunnar is huge.

what are you wearing now optimus? Down low. Great for fat people, since it's just a shirt.

LOVE the CCM shoulders. Will be going back to them if I ever lose weight and can wear normal shoulder pads again.

I'm pretty proud of this :P

I'm 240 and use a 70, so it's not just about weight :)

Sure are! Especially if you don't have airline/hotel points to subsidize/upgrade.

I honestly have never seen anyone care about score at pick-up, but thats still super awesome.
