He is trying to change things up. While it's important to note that the current season is still in its early stages with only 24 games played, his performance appears to have declined compared to his recent stellar seasons. His goal-scoring and point production rates are lower, and his plus/minus has dropped significantly. However, his faceoff performance has shown improvement. ## Current Season (2024-25) Through 24 games played, Matthews has recorded: - 11 goals - 12 assists - 23 points - -2 plus/minus - 10 penalty minutes - 101 shots - 10.9% shooting percentage ## Comparison to Previous Seasons ### Scoring Pace Matthews' current scoring pace of 0.96 points per game is significantly lower than his recent seasons: - 2023-24: 1.32 points per game (107 points in 81 games) - 2022-23: 1.15 points per game (85 points in 74 games) - 2021-22: 1.45 points per game (106 points in 73 games) ### Goal Scoring His goal-scoring rate has decreased: - Current: 0.46 goals per game - 2023-24: 0.85 goals per game (career-high 69 goals) - 2022-23: 0.54 goals per game - 2021-22: 0.82 goals per game (60 goals) ### Shooting Percentage Matthews' current shooting percentage of 10.9% is lower than his career average: - Career average: 16.0% - 2023-24: 18.7% - 2022-23: 12.2% - 2021-22: 17.2%[3] ### Plus/Minus His current -2 plus/minus is a notable drop from recent seasons: - 2023-24: +31 - 2022-23: +31 - 2021-22: +20 ### Ice Time Matthews' average time on ice remains consistent: - Current: 20:41 per game - 2023-24: 20:58 per game - 2022-23: 20:17 per game[3] ### Faceoffs His faceoff win percentage has improved slightly: - Current: 55.8% - 2023-24: 53.4% - 2022-23: 52.4%[3]

The retail store is almost done! So much time, effort, and money went into this. Just waiting on a couple more shipments and we will be open to the public! https://www.yelp.com/biz/surfside-hockey-torrance?osq=Hockey+Equipment https://maps.app.goo.gl/XpKW9WbY9LtEwq4z8 For those not local to So Cal, we will be doing online sales. Exciting times!

I have not had any issues, though I have seen others with helmets that did not wear well. Not sure what the heck happened to this one? lol

I feel the same. I have always hated felt, so when CCM released the FT6 Pro, I was a huge fan of the newer tongue design. The new TRUE tongue takes that to an even higher level.

The toe cap is pretty much the same.

Agreed, though I would like to see the finish on the E-S4 sharpening be more refined.

46K USD for the E-S4 16K for the E-P3

Yes

Totally understand you are frustrated, but there are plenty of players at all levels, AA/AAA and at the professional level, that use TRUE skates. In all of my years of owning many pairs, I have never had a tendon fall off, though I did have more than my fair share of holders break internally on the first generation SHIFT holders. Sounds to me like whomever has been trying to "fix" your tendon isn't doing a good job, even if you feel they are skilled.

On the new 2024 Cat the tendon is removable, but the rivet is covered...

The catalog hints at it: https://acrobat.adobe.com/id/urn:aaid:sc:US:968e037d-fb71-4110-ba3d-4778ab89e1d1 The literature specifically says carbon fiber for the 9X4, but doesn't state the same for the 7X4.

It's def a "buzzword bingo" thing. Basically, the 7X4 has trace amounts of fiberglass mixed with the carbon fiber. I argued with the TRUE rep when doing booking for 2024-2025 product because I didn't understand the value of the 9X4 compared to the 7X4 if the boot itself was the 100% the same. If you look at both, you wouldn't be able to tell the difference visually. However, the actual composition is different. I agree 100%, composite = made up of various parts or elements. I hate "buzzword bingo". It makes me die a little on the inside when I see marketecture.

Both are carbon, but the 9X4 is 100% carbon while the 7X4 is a carbon composite blend.

The argument here would be to order custom as opposed to buying a retail skate. I have always offered CCM custom skates for the same price as retail.
