    Let’s get back on topic

    Same guy that made the Down Low shoulder pads I wear now. I wish he’d do similar again.

    Pasternak and Nylander are really close. I can see the Kopitar comparison for sure. Anyway, let’s get back on track.

    I was going to suggest those CL shoulders too. Man we’re they light, and the foam didn’t absorb sweat.
  5. IPv6Freely
    Pasternak is definitely not the first 88 that comes to mind

    Hockey monkey has them, so does IW. Pure probably does too.

    First thing I’d do is start wearing long sleeve compression shirts underneath. Hopefully you’re not wearing cotton at least. I wear a similar shirt (but mine has shoulder caps) and really like it but I don’t think it’s going to feel any cooler than normal shoulder pads.

    His helmets always look way too small for his head

    Also possible those aren’t from this year

    What do you mean?

    It’s not much better down here. The shipping cost is atrocious. So much so that I’ve passed on a number of items I wanted because of it.
  12. IPv6Freely
    I would recommend that too unless that won’t work for you.
  13. IPv6Freely
    Sorry, what?
  14. IPv6Freely
    I wouldn’t expect everyone to be able to. But I can.

    Move the Velcro to the front somehow with a new strap?

    My story is really simple. I tried just about every model skate (in my price range) that was available at the time spending easily $1500+ and making back only a fraction of that selling them used. I finally said screw it and bought OG Makos and bam... no more pain. Then when I switched to goalie I started with Bauer Reactor goalie skates and had the same pre-Mako pain again. Since there was no goalie Mako I decided I wasn’t going through the process all over again and went straight to VH. Still the best hockey equipment decision I’ve ever made.

    I don’t care about the cosmetic issues with my skates. I just don’t. Having something that doesn’t hurt my feet far outweighs anything that could be cosmetically wrong with them. That said, I completely understand why people are bothered by it. It shouldn’t happen. I always joke that “first world problems are the worst problems because they’re always things that shouldn’t be problems in the first place”. I think the QC issues True continues to have kind of falls into that category. You may say it’s being nitpicky about things that don’t really matter. But at the same time they shouldn’t need to nitpick things that are easily fixable if they’d just put an ounce of time and effort into their QC process. I will say though, I saw a bit of irony as I was picking excess glue off my wife’s new Bauer skates...

    I think he meant people aren’t complaining anywhere but here, so shops don’t know about issues.

    When I go through a ring or the filter light comes on, whichever comes first.
  20. IPv6Freely
    Whichever fits you and you find most comfortable.

    You can probably get used to anything, eventually. But for somebody switching from a visor it definitely helps to not have dark lines in front of your eyes.
  22. IPv6Freely
    Wait, you didn’t bake them yet?

    I think Beckett and PSA both will do autograph verification but don’t quote me on that.

    It makes a huge difference. When you have bars in front of your eyes, it’s much much easier to pick up the puck when the bars are the same color as the background (the ice). Source: Goalie who always wears white cages on his masks

    Less safe is more better!
