    Back to hockey and MSH after a LOOOOONG vacation. Now I have a house and a wife so I don't have too much cash for hockey gear.

    I definitely feel like the 95/75 has more bite than the 100/50. I personally have a hard time comparing FBV cuts to ROH because to me the feel is significantly different.
  3. hockeymass
    It's definitely a training problem, or a not-giving-a-shit problem, I'm just amazed at how widespread it is.
  4. hockeymass
    Is it really significantly more difficult to sharpen Flat Bottom vs. ROH? I ask because I've brought my skates to two places (chains that are fairly well known that I won't name) and both places absolutely mangled my edges. The most recent one was absolutely horrendous, completely ground off the inside edge of my left skate and wrecked the right skate pretty badly too. My brother went there to get his skates done too (before I found out how badly they destroyed mine) and the guy was bitching about how hard it is to do Flat Bottom (this particular place actually does Blademaster, not Blackstone, but obviously same basic idea). I'm having a hell of a time finding a place that can cut my skates in a pinch and I just don't understand how so many places can be so bad at it.

    I think the original question was more asking "is there anyone who has used it for a long time and can provide information on it?", not just asking if a person existed who had used it for a long time.

    The CLs are pretty sick. They suck off the shelf, but broken in they are real nice.
  7. hockeymass
    Nice pickup, those are some gorgeous skates.
  8. hockeymass
    Sorry for your loss, man.

    For 10 bucks they could say Chickenf***er on the cuff and I'd take em in a heartbeat. If you're determined enough you could probably take some time and remove the name.

    Bauer's newer pants are beast. I got a pair of last year's X:60s on closeout for $100 and they are just the best pants I've ever worn.
  11. hockeymass
    That's awesome. I absolutely loved both pairs of Tacks I owned (1052s and Pros) and was devastated when they no longer fit me right. I am actually going to be putting the Pros up for sale as soon as I can find the time to take some good pics of them.
  12. hockeymass
    Where did you find those? I swear I've seen them before.

    Due to the fire and subsequent blackout in Boston, my office was closed for two days. I used those two days to sleep in and get some stick and puck in. Good times.
  14. hockeymass
    Looking at 60 degree weather in Boston for the next two weeks, with some days getting up to 70. Considering this time last year we were in the 20s and 30s and digging out of record snowfalls, I'll take it.

    There's always that one guy that takes it from edgy and charged to "well, this is f***ed up".
  16. hockeymass
    Indeed! Newest pickups, EQ50 Shaft from member n3gkiwi (great person to deal with) and Warrior/MIA Franchises off Ebay (in pretty great shape)
  17. hockeymass
    I actually pulled the bicep guards off my One80 shoulders (easily removable) because they were interfering with my Jofa 3500 elbows (which I refuse to replace!)
  18. hockeymass
    I've always skated on scalloped steel. Never had any issues with it. Rather just stick to what I've used in the past.
  19. hockeymass
    Not the biggest pickup, but I'm still really excited to give them a run on the ice. Profiled replacement steel from No Icing. 8'/13' combo radius, med forward pitch, FBV 9/16 (100/50).
  20. hockeymass
    That stick is so "Warrior" it's crazy.
  21. hockeymass
    Updated a bunch of my gear, so here's the new list Skates: CCM U+ 06 Stick: Bauer Vapor APX P88 77 Flex cut to about 85 Gloves: Eagle X70 Helmet: Easton E700 Black w/ Bauer HS22 Visor Pants: Tackla Air 9000 Shoulders: Bauer Supreme One80 Elbows: Jofa 3500 Shins: Easton Air (Jofas got wrecked :( )
  22. hockeymass
    New twig and bucket, Vapor APX 77 flex P88 and Easton E700. Plain retail. Helmet is just ridiculously light and really well made. Super comfortable, can't wait to use it on the ice.
  23. hockeymass
    Salo's sticks are unpopular because they're guaranteed to break at some point in the season. Seriously though, nice pickup. I'm looking forward to the Bruins sale this year (September).
  24. hockeymass
    Hopefully you can get them done. I love Eagles and those look beast.
  25. hockeymass
    My gear is dust as hell. Skates - Pro Tacks Stick - Easton Synergy Si-Core Iginla Helmet - Bauer 5000 Shoulders - Easton Z-Air Pants - Tackla 9000 Gloves - Eagle x72 (these kind of own, Canadian flag instead of Eagle on the cuffroll) Shins - Jofa 9090 Elbow - Jofa 7500
