Okay guys just leave it alone. Don’t feed trolls. We don’t need to waste another four pages on this. At this point it doesn’t benefit anyone to reply to ridiculous statements.

That’s a great breakdown, and while I agree that you obviously can’t directly correlate time wasted to your hourly salary, my time is definitely worth SOMETHING, and keeping my sanity is worth even more. Not having piss poor sharpening done, or showing up during posted business hours to find the shop closed “because it was slow so the guy went home” after the 30+ minute to drive there. Bottom line, for me: I didn’t buy a Sparx to save money. Not even close.

That’s how I felt with the ReAkt. I thought it was amazing... then I tried the 710 and 310. Wow.

At least it’s an increase instead of a decrease, so those who don’t understand why it was done will just find it to be a nice surprise

NME8 is the mask I use. It's pretty much the lowest end mask you can buy thats made of fiberglass and not plastic. As for the blocker, you can get them re-palmed. The glove, sorry I have no idea on break angles. I've never used CCM gear before. What about leg pads? Do you have any yet?

Still not as bad as the Colorado jerseys...

Jesus Christ this thread needs to die. One person not being able to read simple English is starting to add up to multiple pages of junk that benefits nobody.

I find the VN way too hard and didn’t conform to my head shape. So my helmet history is basically V10, Bauer ReAkt, CCM 710, and Bauer NME for goalie masks (the more common Profile series used VN foams).

Thank you!

I had a V10 because I hated the type of foam that was in the V08. I've never understood how anyone can think that style foam is comfortable.

They have the same thing at the pumps in the town my wife works in, but the median home value there is ~4M and that's only because there are "small" homes around the perimeter of the town dragging the average down. Most of the time it's not necessary, but just like my wife's car says right on the gas cap "91+ octane only" while I'm sure the 87 would be just fine, for a couple extra bucks you might as well. I'm sure guys driving $250k cars don't really care about the premium they're paying.

Just drop it guys, get back on topic.

Drop it.

This is easily one of the most ridiculous things I’ve ever seen said on this website, and ho boy have we seen some silly things over the years. And with that, it’s time to move on. We generally avoid spreading misinformation here. Misinformation that somehow manages to bring politics into it? Definitely a no-go. Move on, people. Don’t feed trolls.

You’d think, huh?

There was intent to rough or interfere, not to injure. That's why 2 minutes is the correct call.

I don’t see any kind of intent besides knocking him down. 2 mins max.

I mean it’s simple math... if you use an above average number of passes per skate then you will get a below average number of passes per ring. So saying it’s a fact that the ring only gets 25 pairs is nonsense. You might have only gotten that but I’m not sure how you connect the lines between you doing more passes than normal and the ring only making it to 60 pairs in perfect conditions. How would you know unless you were doing the average? So, bottom line here is that the average is 60 pairs. There’s no caveat to that. If half the people get 25 and half the people get 95 then guess what the average of that is? #3rdgrademaths If this is really going to continue to be a problem for you maybe you should just get it over with and sue them. Well all be waiting to see how that goes.

How do you figure it’s not an average?

It seems silly to complain about not reaching average ring life when doing above average numbers of passes.

Looks like 2 for either interference or roughing (can’t tell exactly whether puck was touched or not). My initial thought was interference but I rewatched a couple times trying to see the puck. I’d still be inclined to go for interference because it doesn’t look so much like an actual body check as just a shove from the side. Either way, 2 min penalty.

Yeah, they’re worth it. Remember the feeling you got the first time you skated in makos? It felt like FINALLY something felt right? You’ll get that feeling all over again, at least I did.

Welcome! There used to be a lot of Brown in the NHL, though there may not have been licensing fees back then.

I’d suggest you get fitted by somebody who knows what they’re doing, but I’m not touching this one otherwise.
