    Looks like a plastic piece with abrasive cord glued in the groove. This should be safe for any kind of steel. It definitely can increase the glide, but not sure by how much.

    Since after the All-Star Weekend (first week of Feb). Panarin became CCM guy a couple of weeks after that.

    There is no consistency on this call. In many games, they do not call this because of the defenseman causing it, but in this one, they decided to call it. IMO ,ref made a mistake here and stuck to it. Better luck with calls next time.

    I agree that knee was not the target, but he did jump facewashed the guy sending him head first to the ice. There are number of forwards that managed to avoid dozens of hits and collisions every season without punching, tripping, or handwashing anybody. Point of fines and penalties is not only to punish a guy for what he did, but also to discourage him and others doing it in the future. For example next time he dives, not only he, but also his head coach will be fined. With the way Marchand build him a reputation, at this point he should be fined for every time he skates backwards in the offensive zone. Every season, half of this thread about him.

    Every time he steps on ice, he is ready to dive or jump. I wish he'd just played.

    I have not seeing him tucked-in for actual games. The picture must be from pregame skate or something like that.

    Thanks to extra spring in his jump, Cam Fowler overshot his likely suspension and a fine in the failed attempt to ring Dubois bell during Ducks vs. CBJ on Friday night. Do you guys think that something like that should be looked at by PS and issue some kind of public warning at least instead of waiting and see if he is successful next time. If you are not sure what I am talking about, there is a video on YouTube.

    Lol.... A good reason alone for NHL not to allow tucked in jerseys.

    Well, Datsyuk got his well deserved Olympic gold, I suppose the only accolade he was missing. He can now retire a fully accomplished hockey legend. I feel however that Canada got cheated out of the gold finals with one-sided calls. If any team, Canada was the one who should have faced OAR for the gold.

    Watched Russia playing Canada and USA... Russia is so outmatched that it is sad. They register about a dozen of shots per game with only one or two real chances, the rest were fired from blue line or were clearing attempts that happen to slide all the way to goalie. At that they also spend a lot of time in the box. Goalies though are very good. On the other note, USA team is very good and should have a real chance at Gold against Canada.

    Since the edge runner locking mechanism has a impact of the trigger mechanism on the runner, I would say that with each clicking of the runners in the holder a small amount of damage is done to the mechanism. I believe the mechanism is there for fast runner replacement in rear occasions when a damage is done to the runner as apposed to pull the blades out after every skate. Although it is just my understanding.

    This is the argument I have seeing around, not sure how that is limiting. Perhaps doing different layup is not feasible in skate manufacturing especially if there is no clear benefit.

    They are trying to produce more product than before, but that is what businesses have to do as the demand for their product grows... It is just they need to figure out how to do that without sending out deflective product. Perhaps they do not even have QC yet, but just need to institute one.

    Have you tried swapping left and right blades? Have you compared the two tydan blades see if there is a difference between the two?

    There are arguments against the single piece boot. Mostly it comes to that in a single piece, you obviously use the same material for all the areas of the skate, while, according to some, optimal skate should feature various levels of stiffness in various areas. You can do some digging on the internet for more details. Lots of apparent hot air from both sides though and no real evidence for or against. Perhaps staying with multipiece boot for Bauer also makes an economical sense.

    . I think it is the same thing as sending out skates with glue marks, spliced stitching, "end of the roll" fiber look... Basically, they fill that they can peddle shit and consumers will gobble it because of the performance benefits, brand recognition, and the mere fact, that most active players would rather wear that than go back to old skates while the replacement is being made. I would have given them benefit of a doubt, but it seems like a trend - the busier they get the more selective they become in who is getting quality product and who is getting "hey.. he'll live". We all have seeing the posts with excellent quality skates, packed in fancy boxed with magnetic flop and certificate. We also have seeing posts with subpar cosmetics delivered in a brown box. They definitely need to clean this up and make it more consistent.

    ..especially since these are hand made, how is that the guy who hand made this was not like "hey.. this looks like shite, let me redo that". It is like a guy who makes custom hand made furniture would be like "fuck it, chair still has four legs..." kind of thing. The VH guy on he forum here made it quite clear several times that performance of the skate is first and aesthetics are not of importance, but this and throwing in an unusably short laces is just luck of any pride in the product. Looks like a serious pep talk is in order there.

    ... Not at all! I was trying to be generally sarcastic, but I guess it did not click. I have no clue where you are from and even if I did, I would never stereotyped. It just not me.
  19. Kgbeast
    Problem with sloppy fit is that every stride the steel bangs the plastic parts inside the holder and wears them out at a progressively higher rate. It is like a bad ball joint in the suspension, once it starts clicking, it just getting worse and worse and eventually falls apart

    Kind of like Marchand. "It was an accident"...
  21. Kgbeast
    I'm sure they didn't mean that... it was an accident, right? 😁

    Middle holes on the front are there, just not used with screws... At least on my early 2000 704s
  23. Kgbeast
    Yes it will. On PeakSpeed skates, cobra holders are mounted with rivets from factory.

    Chara, from what I gather, wears size 11.6 skates. So that chap in the pick definitely has one on Chara... Size 15 skates, size 17 say in shoes.... Baby feet comparing to Shaq's 22. Good think he s not skating, that would have been a weird looking skate fo sure :).

    First question what is most advanced about it? I think the only thing that would intrigue the pros at this point is if the stick would not snap in half in the most inopportune moment.
