    He’s trying all kinds of things right now. Regardless of what sticks, he’s definitely not with Bauer now.
  2. IPv6Freely
    Looks like shot blockers with a Bauer logo on it, to me.
  3. IPv6Freely
    What am I looking at?

    Swiftwick is what I’ve been using for years, specifically the aspire line. Best skate sock I’ve ever used.
  5. IPv6Freely
    What skate boots were made of prior to them using composites and/or carbon fiber. I think.
  6. IPv6Freely
    Yup. You should hear what it sounds like when I sharpen mine with all the post damage...

    Welcome to the no-pain club! I always compare my VH skates to well fitting hiking boots. Snug all over but in a good way.
  8. IPv6Freely
    Nah, just the uploading to the gallery compresses them. Uploading RAW or even uncompressed JPEG would take a massive amount of space.
  9. IPv6Freely
    Yeah they were talking about him trying all different stuff in the first game vs Buffalo last week. Switched to all CCM but was using a Warrior stick and was still trying to find what he was looking for. I'm surprised to see him using an STX but if Bauer, CCM and Warrior are all not what you're looking for he might as well.
  10. IPv6Freely
    Yep, way way looser than you're used to. Barely snug for most of the boot.
  11. IPv6Freely
    Wow, these pictures look really good! Thanks JR!

    Let’s try to keep this thread on-topic, please. There’s no point in posting what shoulder pads you use here.
  13. IPv6Freely
    Where do you get them for $50?

    I'm not a huge fan of Sportsnet hockey coverage in general, though Marek isn't too bad. Maybe I'll give it a listen. I'm an Overdrive listener though. I listen to all 3 hours every weekday, though that's obviously more Toronto specific.
  15. IPv6Freely
    Well, yes I should have been more specific. I quit my team. Though, without any specific plan for moving to another team or finding a pickup to play in, it's the same difference for now at least. I'll probably stick to pickups if anything at this point. At least people actually show up for those. We had a roster of 22 (to be fair, that includes 'current' players as well as 'spares' that used to be on the team but don't play often and occasionally want to join us for a game), and we had four check-in last night. One of them didn't bother showing up. 4 in, 10 out, 8 no response (again, to be fair, the spares don't usually respond one way or the other). We snagged a bunch of guys from the previous game and lost 10-2. Captain has the idea in his head that we're fine as long as we have 7-8 lower skilled bodies, meanwhile we get destroyed by the teams made up of all upper skill (but still in the correct division) guys who can just pass it around until they score. Last game, I finished the game with dry hair. I'm not sure I got in my stance the entire game. Same problem, we had 5 show up and had a couple subs. The other team was playing with us. They had three subs from the league above and they didn't hold back. At one point they had a guy who skated around everybody on the ice, get right in on net, and turn back away from the net to try to find a pass. Like, at that point just put the damn puck in. It's almost more irritating when they toy with you. I'd rather lose 15-0 then have the game be "close" only because the other team allowed it to be. Last night after goal #6 or so I was done, again. I made up my mind at that point that I was done. I absolutely dreaded going to my games by the end. Like, why even bother playing? We can't ice a team and I don't feel like continuing to drive an hour to get shelled every week. Forget it.

    May not be able to on that team if I get replaced, but that’s kept me from doing it for too long.
  17. IPv6Freely
    Well, there it is. I quit hockey tonight. So I guess that’s it.
  18. IPv6Freely
    I don’t understand the “truly custom” statement.
  19. IPv6Freely
    Also keep in mind they aren’t using Saran Wrap, though I guess that may work okay.
  20. IPv6Freely
    23 players on our roster including me. We have 3 checked in for tomorrow's game. This is ridiculous. Captain says he's working on getting us subs. But honestly if we can't even ice 5 of our own skaters we should be forfeiting, IMO.
  21. IPv6Freely
    I always figured if the size is right, what’s the difference between a custom boot made to a foot shape that isn’t mine vs a retail boot made to a foot shape that isn’t mine. But you’re right, it wouldn’t surprise me if it’s actually worse.
  22. IPv6Freely
    Probably better to ask the store.
  23. IPv6Freely
    LOL okay
  24. IPv6Freely
    To be clear though, it’s not on True to be interacting directly with the customer. So it seems like your expectations may be a bit higher than they should be.
  25. IPv6Freely
    No, but I’d try it. Looks like a more minimal version of the CCM CL shoulders with whatever that foam was. Which were awesome.
