having lunch today and a tooth falls out! Was a root canal job with the post about 3/8" in it. Nice, now I have to get this fixed = $. Play hockey tonight and tweak my groin in first 15 minutes, skate next 45 minutes just trying not to make it worse. Get home to answer a family email that makes everything even worse. some day I will get a tat that reads FTS : Fuck This Shit.

Thanks for the shout out. I have the answers from Bauer(Custom Department got back to me late today) for our questions and will be in touch tomorrow. That was a good pick up on the 4 Rolls! MTO colors are always good to have in your collection. My personal sweet spot is I skated today for the first time since August 1. August was a rough month with no chance to skate. It was a killer not to hit the ice. I just goofed around on the ice for 35 minutes shooting at a mini-net. Missed that sucker about 95% of the time!

In 1998, the Blues practiced here at the Ice House during a NY/NJ road trip. Brett Hull had the Vapor 8 skates. The entire boot had already turned white from his sweat. These are great skates but it is funny how heavy they feel now!
-
I found my original Vapor 8 Pro stock skates the other day. These are from 1999. They are still pretty strong. Here is how the outer boot would turn white from sweat.

Yes, the time has come to make that sign in the shop.

Hockey Dad in my building who also coaches a travel team here( = paycheck, not that he needs it since he drives a Land Rover) has me do a quick sizing on ONE100s last week on his bantam kid. Doesn't buy the skate, just tries them on. His kid is in the shop tonight so I call out the kid, "did you get the skates?" "Yeah, we got them at XYZ shop." the vent: next time your kid needs a rush sharpening, take them back to XYZ shop, 45 minutes down the road. No sale, sorry, no service.

True walk on, Matt Radoslovich. Matt played from 2001-2002 to 2004-2005.

I have a friend who was a walk-on at BU in early 2k. He needed a recommendation to get the look but made it. Played all 4 years on the varsity. A rare example but he did it. Bounced around low minors after BU, never got above ECHL.
-
JR, I had a bud step on a guy's stick blade, tear up his ACL and never play again. he ended up meeting this incredibly rich woman from DC and marrying her! You never know......

the only thing you have to give up is beer league hockey. Find a good bunch of guys doing open hockey, let them know where you're coming from with the shoulder(i.e. "Get near me to put the body on me and I will fuck you up so badly you will be sorry you ever bought skates."), and then have some fun with hockey. Beer league hockey is always one shift away from a major catastrophe, intentional or not. After not skating for 15 months due to my back a long, long time ago, I came back to my pick-up group(I had collected the money for 7 years before I couldn't play) with the rules that don't screw with me due to my back or I will kill you. Everybody understood and I wasn't going to stop playing. You don't have to either.

These are early 70s Cooper NYP. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Right hand shot, left glove palm has a huge hole. Overall, very good condition for these gloves.
-
My back has been a wreck since last Saturday. Slept on the floor last 3 nights and will do it again tonight. Driving is a bitch because sitting is what tightens it up. I went through this a long time ago. This time I'm 20 years older than the first time. As we say in the locker room, getting old sucks.
-
Go back to the LHS that ordered the gloves. They should have the original invoice from Eagle and the original purchase order with the specs on file at the LHS. That is how I do it at my shop. All it takes is a phone call once all that info is in hand.
-
Yes, it was a Titanium cage.
-
One of the guys in the shop was a freshman at Quinnipiac. He worked with the hockey team as an equipment guy and did some sharpenings, too. The other day I asked if he saw any bent cages. This picture is from the Colgate/Cornell road trip early in the season. The player wearing the helmet is a freshman with his head down in the neutral zone. The title is: Arny got run over by a Raider.

Alarm was set for 5 AM this morning to open shop by 7:30 AM, cat yak wakes me at 4:30 AM instead. The guy with keys to close the shop at 8 PM tonight slices his finger on the cross grinder. He goes to the ER, cut ligaments, broken finger, stitches. I'm here until 8 PM + final close. Can't wait for more bullshit later. Cold beers when I get home. FTS.

Sorry, I didn't have a good feeling about this once they got the new owner.
-
To the last 2 guys: get second opinions.
-
Interesting combination of Navy carbon and gold knit.
-
I know a shop that did them for someone else, not named Olli Jokinen. The player has Jokinen's Pro Stock ONE95 and wanted the exaxt same skate. The shop got them made through Bauer Custom in St. Jerome.
-
Custom TotalONE built on Olli Jokinen's pro specs. Supreme black felt tongue. Gripliner interior

Depends who is bidding. Might get only $20 or might get $75. Some of the Buy It Now prices on those old gloves are not realistic at all. That is why the same gloves have been sitting there for months on Buy It Now.
