  1. you mean to tell me Carey Price isn't pullin skates off shelves at his local Sportchek?
  2. well there are a lot of crappy looking skates out at the moment. i mean i used both mid end alkali and u10s as an example and i owned and love both (maybe more so the alkali than the u10s) performance/cost wise. Grafs also inherently suffer from me for having the worst looking holders on the market, so that isnt adding anything to it. This photo just looks like a tier 4 skate to me, minus maybe the actual materials the quarter is made of vs the aesthetics.
  3. not really. it looks like a low level alkali and low level vapor skate had a kid, and let it run around without a diaper on. edit: CCM u10 might be a better example than the vapor
  4. let me know how you like the 48s. I have the 50s and love them, but may be looking to get a pair of the 48s when they go to closeout so that i can convert to inline. Same size even! also it may have even been worse as i was a 6.5 in the RBZ but fit in a 7.5 ribcor. =)
  5. if it's just BFD then probably no reason to invest in the machine for me with access to close FBV. Still looks an interesting machine to me.
  6. All kidding aside, the skate boxes can make great cat beds. I took a piece of carpet padding and cut it to the bottom dimensions and threw some fabric on it, put it in front of the window, and my cat sleeps in it half the day
  7. Whatever LHS you have that gives you a free cat with purchase, hook me up with the details, because I'm sold.
  8. In that case, Jonathan Ericsson on the Wings is 6'4 220, and not only do opposing forwards camp in the crease with him, but he brings the graham crackers for the smores. I wouldnt necessarily look at raw measurables and say someone is any better or worse at clearing a crease.
  9. I believe he is referring to the fact that Chiarelli traded away Seguin when he was with the Bruins and than now Hall with the Oilers. they were taken 1 and 2 in 2010.
  10. and i think that may be shorter term than ever. Weber will have to get used to playing with an alright, but aging and nowhere near as effective D partner in Markov now, vs having Suter or Josi back on the blue line with him. Nashvilles D is going to be scary and for years to come. I really think montreal could have asked and gotten more in return than they did this deal, hell not even any picks or recent draftees.
  11. Outstanding! Although obviously for selfish reasons I wish he'd have chosen Michigan, but I am sure he will do a kick ass job at Vassar. You have to be phenomenal to land a marriage with the captain of the LI Lightning,
  12. Excited to see you back out on the ice in bahston!
  13. I know someone had mentioned that the savoy shaft was boxy, are any of your shaft options less boxy?
  14. yeah if i lived in a market like that, NHL tv would be a must. Luckily not only do we have good Wings coverage here, but even during the regular season i can get a lot of extra games on NBCSN and CBC. As it stands i really dont have a reason to make the investment.
  15. its probably your market, provider, or some combination of the two. Most days here I have options for up to three games at a time (CBC, NBC, and FSD). If you are talking about highlights via ESPN, that ship has sailed years ago, They don't have NHL broadcast rights, so its not in their best interest to be NHL hype boys. Their entire NHL team is like Melrose and 10% of Buccigross.
  16. I do not believe the EK60 has changed. The update was the EK60 instead of the EK15, hence his noting of the addition of graphene. The EK60 was released September 2015 so it was not on the 2015 catalogue.
  17. You're going to miss out on like 30 cents of bank interest.
  18. They have had other delays too. Either way it should be a sweet car for you and the bright side will be you have a 2019 vs 2018 model
  19. It's a tesla, late 2017 means late 2018 if your lucky
  20. wont work for me, i use my shins for roller as well as ice, so id prefer not to have to put them into a sleeve of sorts. whats the point of vent armor on your pads if your just going to cover it with a sleeve anyways. my disapointment is based on the fact that these shin guards worked so well that it made tape and any sleeve unnecessary. No movement, game long, without the necessity to reverse engineer something as they had worked perfect for me to begin with.
  21. i would hope they would still help you out regardless if its unopened.
  22. Line looks good. Kinda bummed they are going with a different strapping system with the shins, will see if I like them. Pants look to me like the most likely I would buy.
  23. It helps a little bit, but I think the biggest draw for them has been word of mouth, product performance, and value to be honest. Most people that I have talked with about their sticks have been completely clueless as to their heritage. They will pick one up in store and say "wow this feels great for the price", or ask to use my 6.0 for a bit on ice etc. I just picked one up to try in roller hockey (hoping to find a stick line that I like for both roller and ice) and off the bat some of the guys were impressed with the sticks feel and balance. When I told them I found it on sale for 70$ they were blown away (it's a 4.5).
  24. Tried on the gloves at WF and the palms were neat. The glove didn't fit me well so it was hard to tell how much I'd like them overall, but the concept is definitely good. Will wait till I can try on some properly fitting gloves to give a fuller opinion.
