What is the Trouba blade pattern in the T120 most similar to in Bauer/CCM/Easton?
-
I noticed Ladd, Byfyglien, Scheifele, and Wheeler on them in Winnipeg but I think that's the usual contingent out there.

Any new NHL players skating in VH skates? It looked as though Rene Bourque was wearing them against Washington tonight.
-
Wow, how often are you playing?
I only got 3.5 months out of my 20ks, will the ribcore or the tacks be any stiffer?
-
They have it on the hockeymonkey site as well.

Has anyone done the VH skates with the E-Pro holder or the new Speed Blade 4.0? Pics?
-
Can't say that it's a huge technological leap from the 18K. Seems like the identical skate except with a new paint job (more stylish in my opinion). The new holders' benefit is marginal. I doubt the blade difference will be noticeable at your level as I doubt you're sharpening them more than a couple times a month at most. It isn't a huge chunk of cash, but you aren't getting a tone in my opinion for that money.
IW showing the Ribcor skates on their website saying skates will be available March 28. The specs show the holder being 4mm taller allowing for sharper turns.
I just bought a pair of 18k's for $350 and the 30k is retailing for $399. Is the new holder, blade, and technology worth the added $50?I'm a 53y/o playing in a lower beer league and my 7k's are wearing down.

How are the Mako gloves selling? I can't get past the look of them. I'm sure they are great gloves but man that finger flame thing they have going is awful.

What do you mean that they buckle at the eyelet?
-
Bauer Supreme Classic 100- First new pair of skates. Plus, love the nostalgia of buying skates at Canadian Tire when they still sold decent equipment.
CCM Tacks 152- First pair of skates that I paid for myself. Such a flimsy skate but lasted a long time given the price.
CCM Tacks 952- First and favourite pair of top end skates. Still the most comfortable skates I've ever owned and they lasted forever. Way too heavy, even for the day but super protective.
Bauer Vapor 8- Just loved the look of these skates. They weren't the most comfortable nor the lightest but they were slick. Not the brightest purchase.
Reebok 18K- Current skates and best blend of stiffness, weight, and comfort.

Any word on how the new Ribcor skates will fit compared to the K line?
-
The M was a little snug
-
Is there any fit difference between the last line of pants and the new line of pants. I had a M in the 7K and I found them a little small but the L were a little wide and long.

Has anyone been using the EK15 gloves? I know they are a tapered fit but I wonder how close they are to the Bauer Vapor. Picked up a T120 recently and am very impressed, would love to do a review on it. Might pick up a EK15, if they go down in price in the near future.
