    But wouldn't you still have to buy $230 custom OPSs to get curves like the "Slovak" in order to try them out?

    That's why it would be nice to have the non-fused option. If I'm gambling on a curve I'll likely search around for some close-out prostocks I can get at a reduced rate over ordering a custom full-priced stick.

    Don't get me wrong, I love the idea and I love the program, I just wish it was available in a non-fused option so I could take advantage.

    Warrior has already stated that sticks will either be of Widow construction or fused because there are no shaft/blade offerings through the program.

    Thanks, I must've missed it earlier, but I'm hoping they change that in the future.

    Burke said the Chicago deal was dead, so who knows.

    Any Carolina (or Q) fans know much about Paradis? I tried to go to HF, but its overrun by people trashing on Burke and having a Tlusty love-fest.

    From what I've gathered, Paradis is a much safer prospect, a guy who can play on any line. Tlusty was top six or bust. Not really a surprising move, Tlusty obviously wasn't Burke's guy. I don't know if he was given all the chances he might have deserved, but I'd rather get rid of him when he at least had some value. Burke's top six next year probably looks something along the lines of Kessel-Bozak-Stalberg-Grabs-Kadri-UFA. Makes no sense to keep Tlusty who is a RFA (I think), especially given the fact that he is both Euro and has a sense of entitlement as evidenced by his training camp performance.

    Here's what I gathered. Big kid, very developed physically for his age. Strong and can throw his weight around. Has a bullet shot (seems like a 100% consensus on the kid), but it's not overly accurate and that's why he doesn't score more. He can grind and throw big hits (his coach claimed he was one of the best hitters in the Q at 17 years old), but he lacks top line potential.

    Offset blade essentially made a half inch curve into a larger curve, making it easier to lift the puck on the forehand.

    I remember when they first came out, some were saying it was to help teach proper form on slapshots by forcing kids to shoot behind the puck.

    Didn't Bauer have some funky way of attaching a blade to a shaft?

    That would be the Harpoon Latch system. I just glued those blades in.

    I think most people did, I liked the blades, but the rubber teeth were lacking. Glad you remembered the name or I'd be searching for it now.

    The Vapor XX OPS was a huuuuuge seller for shops. It put Bauer on the map for OPS as everything before it was a flop.

    I really liked the look of the original and it did well around here, but the follow-up ones (with two colours) had alot of trouble around here.

    I take it your not a parent, but when you are you will realize how i feel. there will never be a moment where i will be embarrased because of my son, or anything to do with my son, including a tattoo that i want to get.

    I believe he is saying your son may be embarassed by your tattoo.

    I'm really not seeing the point of this and really think you will outgrow it, especially if you haven't come up with your own concept for the tattoo. I know you got bashed last time, and don't want it to turn out this way, but if you are really serious, sit down, talk it over with the mother, get her impressions and look at some work which resembles what you want. Brainstorm a bit. Tattoo's should be personal. You want it to mean something about you and your son, very few people on here should feel the bond that you want to have. Plus if you wait, you may find a defining moment that sparks you on what to get.

    I don't have alot on the computer in terms of newer stuff I like so this thread is very helpful. I like the Gym Class heroes that Mack mentioned.

    One "underground" band I listed to is Elliott Brood. It's labelled as "death country", but it's essentially Alternative with a Banjo mostly. It's a little weird, but not bad and you get used to them. Cadillac Dust is their best song and easiest to use to get into their music.

    Also, I'm listening to a bit of Death From Above 1979, anyone know of some bands with a similar sound?

    dont know if this has been asked but does anyone know if the leafs will be having one? if so when/where? thanks

    the leafs already had 2, 1 at centre sports at the acc, then 2 with the marlies (with everything that didnt sell at the acc)

    when was this ? the acc had one a few years ago. Nothing since then. I don't remember the Marlies having one either. This is their first year in existence.

    I posted one about the Marlies. It was a week or two back. I'd like to get down to one of the Leafs ones, but I bet they have all of their non-used sticks in center sports right now anyways.

    If you are thinking of going please PM me... about either Center sports or for other people in the MTL area going to the Habs sale.
