All I'll say is players know who make plays.

This is how you improve balance:

If anyone is interested, we're having a camp in Clearwater, Florida from January 2-4, 2019. First time in the US.

Dude, I could only make it half way through the trailer.

My point was that if he has good heel lock there's no reason to overtighten a skate.
-
I use Bond 527 multi purpose cement on the toe of the stick. $4 a tube and holds up fine for me.

I would strongly advise against tying them tighter, especially if his one foot is a medium ankle depth. That is a recipe for lace bite. If the Bauer fitting was correct, normal lacing should provide plenty of heel lock.

I've tried a lot of elbow pads before those and even briefly tried Warrior AX1's while I had the Projekts (I sold those, good pads, but I preferred the projekts) and have tried on most new pads high end pads when they come out. I haven't found anything that has tempted me to move away from the Projekts…... The Projekts have a deep cap that and a neoprene strap that locks your arm in well, are light and a three piece pad so they're very mobile. Nic Backstrom and James Neal have used pro versions of the Projekts in the NHL as recently as last season (not sure about this year, but I have seen pictures and videos of them with the Projekts as recently as last year).
Have you had any experience with the white Warrior Pro Series elbows? Seems to be a lot of pro stock ones floating around the internet.

Just received my hat here in florida (rules, who needs rules). Thanks to CCM. Win.

Important piece of gear, the elbow pad... often the first line of protection. My trusty Jofa 9144's are ready to be retired. Is there a new pad that stands out? Unlike gloves/sticks/skates, it's hard to tell what the pros prefer. I noticed the weights on modern pads are quite low, often 200 or 300 grams per pair lighter than my 9144's. But I looked at Bauer's top Vapor 1X Lite, and was shocked by the light weight. Unfortunately, I was also surprised at its lack of protection and poor overall construction. Thinking about the CCM Jetspeed FT1. Any opinions on elbows pads?

I was thinking of doing one but wanted to know if it's worth it as an older player.
Absolutely worth it. I work the Swedish group JRM Skate and Skills (check it out on youtube). We now have these camps for adults (next one is January2-4 in Clearwater Florida). It's a great way for quick, sustainable improvement.

Wow. 41 anonymous reviews with an average rating of 5/5. Highly believable. Where can I send my $300?

It worked for Gretzky.

I use Bauer vapor X700. Light, cheap, and offer enough protection you'll ever need (use them for A league play). I saw a locker room shot of Ilya Kovalchuk from last year. He was using X700 in KHL.

Have not received my hat. I'm liking my Bauer hat more and more.

I remember the real original Pops Kenesky (whom this company acquired the name). Back in the 1970's, a goalie friend of mine scraped together every penny he had and hitchhiked from Philly to Hamilton,Ont. He sat at Pop's door until he made him a set of pads. He came home a couple weeks later with a set of custom pads. Didn't help him much, as he never played anywhere of note. Goalies are so weird.

Why would you buy one of the SL when you can buy an actual pro stock stick for far less.

Good choice for the Caps, but I think this year they'll need Dale Hunter back.

My slapshot (and snapshot and wrist shop) needs some work and ice time is hard for me to come by...but there is a golf driving range nearby.
Would there be any merit in me taking my stick and shooting pad down there to practice shooting a bunch of golf balls (assuming management have no issues with it)?
...only if you can hit the 250 yard sign.

15 hours ago, Oilers97 said:Thank you for everyone’s responses. First off. The pain is like how do I describe it... like cramping so bad I want to take my skate off and have to on the bench sometimes. Right below the toes on the widest part. Immense pain. It improves a bit when skating but second I stand still it’s excruciating.
That narrows it down a bit. From what you're describing, it sounds like the arch support isn't right. Your foot isn't sitting naturally, causing the muscles to not work as they normally would in order to compensate. I would suggest getting a thin super moldable insole ( I like Bauer Speed Plates) and re-baking your skates at least 2 times in your home oven ( it's easy,just follow instructions on youtube).
-
For once, your mom is not right. All skates do not hurt.
Hard to pinpoint because it isn't clear about the type of pain. Is it a feeling of something rubbing/pressing against your foot, or a dull but intense radiating pain? If it is the second one, chances are it has something to do with the arch support. Maybe focus in on the insoles.

I'm going to agree with Nick Kypreos on this one (can see on youtube). Note to Ekblad: when a guy squares up with you after he's had enough of being slashed and hacked all night, be ready to defend yourself. This is hockey.

Correct. He seemed to be a lock to go to Vegas, but ends up with their biggest competition for basically a few lower end players and conditional draft pix.

I'm sure Vegas is pleased about this trade.

Is it just me, or does it seem like Adidas puts zero effort into designing these jerseys. I'd swear Adidas just tells the evening janitor at HQ, " After you finish cleaning that last toilet, design a few of the NHL jerseys before you leave. And don't forget to change the roll."

Road race in extreme cold - what to wear?

DO NOT wear a tee shirt. The most important layer is the base that wicks away moisture. Something like those made by Craft. A tee shirt will get soaked, then you're done. Next, a light insulator, like a thin fleece. If needed, ultralight windstopper shell (that breathes). Hat. Light gloves. I've raced Nordic ski events for 4 hours in -60F wind chill temps with that set up.
