Yes, they feel the same in your hand but feel way heavier on my foot.

I got the new skates and holders. The fit and finish and QC is still hilariously bad. I have fibres chipping from the heel straight out of the box, either they didn't put a gloss coat on them or they missed spots. While the skates are lighter, my FT2 still feel WAY lighter on my feet when wearing them side by side.

T90 line is more in line with the Project 9 isn't it? I would be looking at Sherwoods other sticks for a T90esk

When I used the normal stock strapping (mediumly tight elastics) on the 1X I need a boot strap to almost act as a pulley system that would rotate the pad. The strap was loose but it would slide under the heel and rotate back correctly. When I went to a much looser strapping system I didn't need the bootstrap. So it still has it's usage even when loose.

Can you make posts on the forum when you make your appearances? That way we can track you and make sure we don't miss any.

Podcast! I'd love to hear some of your thoughts on new gear or any going ons about hockey.

I have that damage on my goalie skates from what I imagine posts or pucks. No issues over a year in with it.

According to Icethetics: So it looks like we get to see them twice, I'm going to be watching both that is for sure..

It isn't a 3rd jersey, their 3rd is their ugly black one. This one is just for a few nights. They need to wear those against the retro flames!

YES!

It looks like one of those off colour fan jerseys the NHL did a few years back.

Now make those the permanent homes!

I personally believe if you need to use beeswax or sno-seal maybe they should re-work the interior... I have never had issues with wet skates though, but my skates are goalie skates so maybe that has something to do with it.

These are great... instead we get another bland black jersey.

Looks like it is real: https://www.icethetics.co/blog/2018/9/13/winnipeg-jets-third-jersey-leaks-a-day-before-release Also, new Sharks and Avalanche. https://www.icethetics.co/blog/2018/9/12/loose-threads-sharks-leak-isles-script-and-sens-future Sharks and Jets are awful, Avalanche jersey is great.

If an NHLer blocked a shot in an FT1 I have a feeling there is a 90% chance in a broken bone.

Finally got around to getting my soccer gear out of my hockey shelf... Just need to move it into better lighting once the basement gets cleaned up.

I know you said you are done with this thread. But I'd be curious what you would put me in. I've tried FT1, AS1 and I still have foot pain in both skates, especially if I don't wear extremely thin socks. Only skates so far I am generally comfortable in after skating are my True goalie skates, but even those hurt like hell if I tighten the laces lower on the foot.

I agree that their red/green/white jerseys are better than their normal ones. I feel like the green doesn't suit "The Devils." I know the Jersey Devil lives in a forest but still haha.

Why would the gloves have black on them when that jersey doesn't have any black at all?

I feel like orange is a bad idea. Islanders have had 1 orange jersey and it was pretty terrible... Imagine them doing the stadium series jersey but with Fisherman blue accents... yes please. Edit: Now that I have looked at some concepts... orange isn't a BAD idea if done right. I still think it the Flyers and Oilers have orange and Islanders shouldn't copy them. With that said these are pretty cool.

Eh, they kind of tried the new thing with the black alternates. They should either go back to the Stadium series set or go back the fisherman route. Both of those looks are unique, Fisherman would throw in the unique shade of blue. Ducks jerseys are a huge swing and a miss, the NHL doesn't need ANOTHER black based jersey. It should've been eggplant based with black accents. Coyotes knocked it out of the park with their throwbacks. Everyone wants them, they are unique and a step up on their current jerseys. The Hurricanes are so close to being great, but I just feel it is a bit off. Not going with red numbers with thick white font removes the uniqueness of the previous alternate. I think the striping pattern is too bland but the state hidden in the primary logo is an awesome touch. Canucks with the flying skate is a safe bet, they used it a few years ago to great success. I still think they should dump the orca logo though. Flyers went the safe route with their black stadium series jerseys. I think the Flyers have a great look and that rounds the set up with a black based one.

I sort of disagree, I think the internals are more comfortable since they added the "buttersoft" portion of the Alpha. But the externals and actually flexibility of the glove I totally agree.

So sorry to hear.

Did you get the added protection in them? I've gotten hit a few times on the skates but have never felt anything, not sure if that is luck or what.
