  1. If you expect a difference then maybe, but I’d try them without first.
  2. I’m sure it made it way easier to get the skate on too 🙂
  3. New pickups: Bauer S190 girdle. Absolutely loved it when I tried it on in the store while I was in Pittsburgh. (It was actually the HP Pro I had tried on but same thing). I’m blown away by the comfort of this thing. It’s also a size Medium. The last pants I bought were an XL. It’s been a while, apparently. Also CCM Tacks 7092 shins. Tried everything on and found these to be the most comfortable. They’re replacing Mako shins that were comfortable but the padding was shot and it actually hurt the top of my shin/bottom of my knee where the plastic would dig in if I fell. Also a generic Sherwood laundry bag.
  4. That sucks man. No words can even begin to describe how horrible it is to lose a best friend. 😞
  5. Absolutely! I keep mine really clean. I know you guys sent out updated manuals and a free filter at one point, which was very much appreciated!
  6. Do you feel that I should stop using my cross-grinding ring, then? Is it a safety hazard to continue using? I've only ever used mine once and that was just when I was switching to a new hollow and figured I'd give my blades a fresh start.
  7. Brian Lawler aka Brian Christopher aka Grandmaster Sexay Also, Josip Petruzovic aka Nikolai Volkoff
  8. About every 6 months or so from what I’ve noticed. That said, anyone with a Sparx can give you a referral coupon code that will save you some cash AND earn them a free grinding ring.
  9. Been a long time since I posted something here. Likely due to the fact that I don’t skate out anymore... Ive been eyeing this since it came out. It’s the best fitting most comfortable helmet I’ve ever put on. Tacks 710. I thought the re-akt was comfortable. NOT EVEN CLOSE. I also grabbed myself a new twig. I couldn’t resist with the name on it 😉 Bauer Vapor X700 LITE - P92 MATTHEWS - 77 flex
  10. Wouldn’t surprise me but I’m not in the NHL so it’s completely irrelevant to me.
  11. Definitely would not be a dealbreaker for me.
  12. How was it mansplaining if it directly answered the question that was asked? *shrug*
  13. No the whole point is that they want you to use their holder. You can always swap it out later.
  14. Those are gorgeous!
  15. Ackbar's Admirals vs Black Knights - July 1, 2018 We got DESTROYED by a team at the bottom of the standings. We were super short and that didn't help and they had some bounces for sure but still.. WTF. This was just the second period because I wasn't able to move the camera. I was so happy when the second ended, not just because I wanted the game to hurry up and be over but because I was getting a headache for obvious reasons.
  16. Most of the action was actually in the second period, which unfortunately I wasn't able to get. We took a few too many penalties, a couple of which were pretty obvious but may have saved goals.
  17. I went through the same transition also. For me, the upgrade from Mako to VH was about the same level of “WOW” as the upgrade from other skates to Mako, in terms of comfort. Makos were amazing, VH took it to a whole other level.
  18. In-laws are here to help us move. Except they’ve basically just sat on the couch watching TV the whole time. We finally got to the part where they should have been useful (appliance installation) but her dad either has no idea what he’s doing or he’s really into half-assign things. Really regretting not just paying for installation but my wife insisted he could do it.

  20. The advice makes sense, it’s just a matter of whether you agree with it. Stated again for clarity, find a hollow you like when fresh and stick to it. Getting your skates done 1-2 times a year is not good.
  21. Honestly your best bet is to just get used to it and get them done more often. It’s never good to get used to dull skates because consistently becomes impossible.
  22. The cut was good but ultimately it was too expensive to keep doing it. I also had issues with their customer service.
  23. Nice! That GAA and SV% is insane for beer league hockey. I’m usually around 3.00-4.00 GAA and I’m in the top half of the league in that regard, usually (gave up 11 on a night where we had 6 skaters so it’s all skewed this season) Got pics of the gear?
