  1. I've used this analogy a few times and I think it fits well. It's no different from people thinking vaccines cause autism, despite the study that linked the two being debunked. Some people still put weight into it, regardless of the facts, because "it's all we have". There's not much you can say to sway those people. The best you can do is educate the uninformed (those who may not know it's been debunked) and hope common sense takes over. I guess all other things being equal (fit, price, weight, materials, looks... in that order) then yea sure go ahead and use the VT score as a tie breaker. I like to think one of the first couple items in the list would have broken the tie long before then, though.
  2. Stopped rookie league superhero on a breakaway by skating out for a hard diving poke check. Guy went flying into the corner. Skates over to me after the whistle "THAT WAS CHEAP BRO". I laughed, "is the puck in the net?" Our team is half filled with guys who just learned to skate, and their team has 5-6 guys who should be in D4 (two divisions up). It's a bit ridiculous.
  3. Our times don't change throughout the year. I played a 10:15 last night and had a few beers after. Got home at 1:30AM, and woke up at 5 for work. Today should be fun!
  4. HUGE thank you to JR and Warrior for the chance to demo this! Review coming soon...
  5. Not a fan either. Nice to see them putting their brand on them now, though!
  6. Likely just decided to go tuuk.
  7. What's with the blue on the tendon guard? Was that a request?
  8. Totally agree. Playing low divisions is really frustrating! That said... I play against one guy who takes super hard slapshots that have a tendency to drop sharply at the last second. Really have to concentrate on those!
  9. What kind of specs are you looking for? Price?
  10. Nope, mine remain consistent. I check probably every other time (any time I'm not in a rush).
  11. I really want to try on the 310. The resistance was by far the most comfortable helmet I'd ever put on and if these new models are even close to feeling like that I'd be a very happy camper. Though still debating whether I'll ever be skating out again...
  12. Honestly, I find them to be kind of heavy compared to the big two brands. I don't have numbers to back that up, I just know that when I pick up a pair of CCM or Bauer skates I'm shocked by how light they feel. That said, they fit so damn well I don't even notice.
  13. Yea a friend of mine bought a ton of it back when it wasn't worth anything. Lucky bastard.
  14. Well, with the exception of the last goal against that was absolutely brutal (but hey, it made things exciting!) this was one of my better games. Square making easy saves easily, and scrambling when I needed to. Shutting the door with 1.1 seconds left was a huge highlight for me. Now we're off to the finals to go for our 4th straight championship title.
  15. You explained my point much better than I was able to. If you're going to keep the name that has a negative connotation to it, then you have to accept that you have an uphill climb ahead of you. Hopefully they change opinions quickly and manage to stick around.
  16. No special coupons HOWEVER current owners should be able to give you a referral code for $25 off.
  17. It's not a competition.
  18. Did you buy them all or...?
  19. As much as I've always argued against the "only domestically made products can be of high quality" suggestion, that doesn't help them in their battle against their reputation.
