That makes sense. I didn't realize that the RPE was a separate skate line.
-
So, what is going on with Alkali? Seems like a lot of products/model lines have been reduced drastically. Example: their flagship skate is only $499 and lacks a magnesium frame. Were sales/popularity down over the last year?

Is the Zenith the top of the line skate? I'm confused, considering it's only $499 and no magnesium frame.

This is one of those teams that will never settle. I attempted that earlier in the game. You are always wrong when you ref their games. It's never a good game to ref, but I've never seen them that out of hand.

I am absolutely fuming right now. I was reffing a bronze beer league game (the worst players) and was being berated the entire game by one team (lets call them the asshats). According to them, every call was wrong. So, with 3:00 or so left in the 3rd period, the other team scores to tie the game. A player on the asshats takes the puck out of the net and flings it down the rink while saying "Theres a souvenir for you" (directed at me). I call him for unsportsmanlike conduct and he proceeds to look at me like I shot his dog. For some reason, he couldn't comprehend why I called him for a penalty. As he's skating to the box I get a "Fuck you", so I toss him. He's still jawing at me as he's leaving (whatever), but of course another player on the asshats bench decides he wants to start berating me as well. At this point I've had it. After the next "go fuck yourself" (while getting simultaneously flicked off) I toss him straight from the bench. I've never seen a group of adult men act like such animals. Pure disrespect. The other team ended up winning in OT (they had a PP for the entire time). I just finished sending an email to the hockey coordinator telling him that I'm finished reffing adult league games. I don't get paid enough to put up with this BS. /rant

Pityriasis Rosea. Ugh. I look like I've had chicken pox for the past 3 weeks. Takes up to 9 weeks to completely go away too :( . It's not annoying (itchy, etc.), it just looks awful.
-
LOL. I appreciate that. It's just frustrating when I get "scolded" after the game by players due to all of the calls I supposedly missed. *rolls eyes* If they wanted me to call everything I saw, the entire game would be a powerplay/penalty kill.
-
I don't think lower level hockey players have any idea of just how difficult it is to officiate their games. 75% of the penalties are pure judgement calls because I'm honestly unsure if the player was doing something on purpose or simply can't skate. I get complained at all night and it really starts to frustrate me. Keeping the calls consistent is so difficult. Oh, and most of them think they are NHL caliber skaters who would never fall on their own. /rant

1 month left until I take the MCAT and I am starting to get burned out. 5-7 hours of studying every night after work is tiring. Not to mention I have so much more to review. Beginning to feel overwhelmed and my confidence/morale is slowly declining....... :(
-
Why did you pass on Japan? I've heard from multiple people that it's a fantastic place to visit. Tokyo is on my bucket list.
-
What a steal. And they were plenty durable. I think you are thinking of the SyNergy SL.
-
Most aren't as affordable as the speed plate was going to be though. At least, the last time I had interest in a pair.
-
To quote my mother: Moderators brought you into this forum, and they can take you out of this forum as well. ;)

I don't think it will be terrible once I get a lighter cage with flat bars. Still rough though. Got nothing but stares and puzzled looks today. Didn't your parents tell you it's rude to stare?!?!? ;-)
-
Took a nice deflection to the face yesterday. The cage will now be going on permanently. Lol
-
That curve is booootiful.
-
Word on the street was Bauer was having compatibility issues with them in non Bauer skates. I'd wait and see what happens before you drop any cash on them.
-
Yeah, don't do this. The Inhalers have vents in specific areas for a reason. I usually epoxy any and all holes if I convert a skate. I remember playing in an iron man with rivet holes exposed. Bad idea. By the end of the day I was slipping with every stride. You could see the sweat on my wheels.
-
Very cool! My mom drives a 2012 Focus Titanium hatchback and absolutely loves it. It's a pretty nice car to drive and is great on gas.
-
Very nice! Please tell me the blade feel is back to the RBZ/Stage 2 feel. The Superfast had a completely different blade that was awful.
-
Getting close to my ultimate goal. Finishing up a physics class this summer, and taking the MCAT in August. My Primary Medical School applications will be submitted then as well. Getting excited, but at the same time VERY nervous. This time next year I hope to be moving to a new city and starting school. Class of 2020 hopeful (fingers crossed!)

If the wheels are still unused, id still ask my LHS. The worst they can say is no.
-
Did you buy them at an LHS? Most stores don't have a problem switching the wheels for something else, provided they are of equal or lesser value.
-
After 2 years of no cage, I finally got high sticked. No damage (thankfully), but I guess it's time to put the old cage back on for beer league.
-
Tried a new lacing pattern (The Crosby) and like it a lot. Skipped the second to last eyelet and looped through the top. Forward flex is great and the stability is even better. Is that a Panamera? Very jealous.
