    Everything new is stupid until it works and becomes mainstream. Let's be real, there is 1 or maybe 2 people here that would actually buy a top end stick for retail anyways let alone a limited run basically prototype. I like that Bauer is trying things, let the whales buy it and test it while everyone else waits to see if it catches on.

    While the internet believes CCM was holding Lefevre back, from what I heard it was the other way around. Lefevre certainly has their hardcore followers and a bunch are in the NHL. But I am excited for what CCM has to offer.

    Second mask is ordered... but 8 month lead time 😞

    My new setup is almost complete with the jersey!

    Yes, me asking for "half size big in the toe" ended up them just removing the black thicker foam piece and keeping only the red ones. I took everything out of the toe and I couldn't flatten my foot out when standing and with knees bent my toes were still squished.

    It was the only way I could get my toes not being crushed in the toe box... so it was a worth while.

    Cutting across the front of the net at the bottom of the circle isn't a "low-probability" angle... it is one of the most dangerous plays.

    I disagree on not going with Superfeet. Only thing I used to get my player skates comfortable. But it was the VERY last thing I tried.

    I know you said you hate the women's pads, but have you seen the Bauer S180w? I thought those were a huge improvement over the previous ones. CCM also has a new version coming out next year that are WAY better than their older ones as well.

    Just wait until they catch up with Bauer's decision and they will spread them out... Then they will change the names of their top end products to something unique to differentiate from the other brands that added "Pro" to their lines. 😆

    Ah yes, it comes down to the goalie after the D gets blown by without any resistance on the puck carrier 😆

    The offensive player was skating BACKWARDS. You don't have to pinch on the blue line and stand your ground there, you can stay slightly behind them since they can't see where you are and you pinch after the pass is made... The player 25 stopped the pass for was also not skating when that pass came, if the backwards skating forward tipped the puck by it wasn't like his teammate was mid stride and would be flying gone... they didn't start skating until he realized his backwards skating teammate dropped the puck for him.

    This is hilarious. The guy in the neutral zone caught the puck skating backwards... which means #25 could've easily stepped up on him when the puck was coming or when he got it. Skating backwards means having no clue if someone is actually coming up behind you or not. Then, #25 should actually learn how to skate backwards and use cross-overs and learn how to pivot. Shooter was basically already by #25 at the top of the circle, feet still planted forwards and 0 active movement, just swinging his stick. Doesn't even go for the puck once, just swings it at the player's midsection. #3 should've covered the center of the ice closer to the hash, but that player scoring wasn't their man at all. Also, cross crease in tight like those are annoying as a goalie... so many options and a players skating fast going East-West are hard to keep up with, this was a decent move stopping up and pulling it back. Goalie had to commit because of the speed for the cross crease play, and the opponent pulled a nice move. If the shooter had any pressure at all they wouldn't be able to pull that off.

    It is a solid stick, but like other Sher-wood sticks I wouldn't expect performance like the top of CCM/Bauer/Warrior. It feels like a slight tier down to me. But I love the grip and the new stiffer blade compared to the EK60.

    Which also makes sense that 99% of the guys that can blow pucks by me are using Supreme, Nexus, Tacks, Jetspeed.

    I don't even look at it as "low kick gets off faster so goalie has less of a time to react." It's more of "I have less time to ensure proper technique and load so low kicks allow me to just quickly fling it at the net trying to get around legs or a block." The shot ends up being more consistent as the stick does more of the work for me.
  18. Hills
    Yes

    I shoot slower with the low-licks than I do the Supremes and Tacks. But it is way easier to get off quickly and consistently, where as I really have to load the Tacks and Supreme to get a good shot off. But it comes off a few MPH faster.

    I was expecting thinner like the old Bauer tongues. These still feel a bit thick for my liking as if I crank the laces I start to get lace bite near my instep. I enjoy the tongue more than the stock one though just for the lower profile.
  21. Hills
    Is it the newest one? I thought they were called thin pro or something that is why I am asking
  22. Hills
    Nah, get the 1X knee guards. Cheaper and they come with a girdle to hold them up. Way less bulky too but equally protective and slightly less comfy.
  23. Hills
    Yup! Did you check your floor to knee measurement before picking them?

    34 V3 is probably about a 32 in modern CCM. V3 pads would break down and get smaller over time, and CCM plays a bit bigger than other brands in terms of sizing (especially old Vaughns).

    I really want a legit one. Might one day be worth as much as a Fisherman jersey haha.
