    Yea this is probably the worst time of year to order, but even then it’s still a reasonable timeframe.
  2. IPv6Freely
    But soooooo worth it!
  3. IPv6Freely
    I didn't suggest either.

    Disclaimer: I understand this is a sensitive topic so please don't take offense to my reply I think I'd seriously start considering adoption at that point.

    Just finished cleaning out my desk at work. On to new things! (Same company, though.)

    Where are you getting that the steel is negative pitch? And no, profile has no impact on how the skates are sharpened.
  7. IPv6Freely
    No reason why not.

    I think the mako comparisons come from the overall comfort factor and heat moldability. As somebody who has worn both the Mako and VH I can tell you that if a Mako goalie skate had existed, I’d probably be in those because they were pretty comfortable. Since they don’t exist, VH was pretty much my only option. As it turned out, it was a good thing VH was my only option because they are miles better than the Mako. Or, put it this way, what the Mako was to the ski boot Bauers, the VH are to the Makos. It’s THAT much better. Also, as somebody who again has worn both, it’s clear that comfort beats looks (or I’d still be in the RBK 8Ks I was in at one point which were a fantastic looking skate) because both the Mako and the version of VH I have were both ugly. I think the True is a great looking skate, though it really is way better in person. The pictures do tend to make them look a bit wonky for some reason. Like they have ankle guards or something.

    Anyone know if Step is going to make blacksteel for the VH goalie holders?
  10. IPv6Freely
    I think its already happened. You cant buy tuuk from them anymore. But they WILL mount them still if you send your own, from what I was told.
  11. IPv6Freely
    If I was buying player skates I'd probably put tuuk edge on them. For my goalie skates though, the step holders are fine for me.
  12. IPv6Freely
    Totally agree there. The Mako was a super ugly skate because of the orange and bright silver heel. Once they toned it down it was much better. Being a VH wearer, I can definitely say the True skates are FAR more refined. My VH have glue all over the place and the white accent piece is coming off (because the stitching is fake, it's actually just glued onto the boot).

    Really? They looked so good at SummerJam. Much nicer than the flashy stuff Bauer and CCM are putting out with crazy graphics.
  14. IPv6Freely
    Those socks though...

    I'd bet neither Doan nor Iginla sign with a team prior to the olympics for just that reason, and then sign somewhere immediately after (assuming somebody wants them and they want to continue).

    I just had mine profiled "slight negative", whatever that actually means. That fixed the pitch for me. I'd be more likely to just put Bauer holders on than to shim the front.
  17. IPv6Freely
    Maybe I can convince my wife to let me put wheels on my VH and let me buy some True goalie skates...
  18. IPv6Freely
    I don't think Dave will be barred from future MSH events, so that's not an option ;) hahah
  19. IPv6Freely
    I already wear VH goalie skates but they have cowlings. Player skates are Mako though.
  20. IPv6Freely
    At the airport waiting for my flight :) Haha it seems to be a thing for me. The last three times on the ice it’s happened. I need to actually USE the warrior bottle holders!
  21. IPv6Freely
    Getting to hold the new True skates in my hands yesterday... I NEED THEM RIGHT MEOW.
  22. IPv6Freely
    SummerJam!

    I saw in 70mm. Hoping to see it again in IMAX soon.

    Dunkirk.

    Last week's pickup. We were ridiculously short, and ended up playing 3-on-3 half ice. It was actually kind of fun, but definitely happy it's rare. I played pretty decently for the most part and only got beaten by some really good shots for the most part.
