    Yeah, you have a point. But the KHL is a long, long way from the NHL.

    This would have been exciting if we could summons a 2005 Kovi. 2017 Kovi is just a guy who was a healthy scratch for SKA.

    Some good points. My main problem with the Schenn trade is that he was one of 4 players on the team (Gudas,Simmonds,Manning being the others) that didn't cower under the bench when games got physical. The Frost pick was kinda like Hextall going into Walmart and offering to pay 5 bucks for the $1.99 loaf of bread. Streit could have been dumped for a third round pick (going rate), and cleared the books.

    I like Methot. Great D man when paired with a more offensive partner. This deal shows that, despite McPhee lip service, Vegas is in a 2 year "Tank" mode. After all, they said they wanted to win the Cup in 6 years, not make the playoffs in the first 5.

    Poooor trade for Flyers, compounded by horrific choice of Frost ( I would take Tolvanen). Hextall is apparently becoming a popular guy with other GM's. By taking Lehtera, this is the third straight year he's had a $5mm garbage player dumped on him (Umberger,Filpula,Lehtera). Schenn was the Flyers best player last time they were in the playoffs, and very versatile.

    Yeah, I like Lundqvist, but his body is breaking down now from the wear and tear. You can't rely on him being able to go when you need him.

    I think it was a smart move by NY. I'm a believer that once you determine you can't win the Cup with the team you have by just tweeking, rebuild.

    Which model CCM glove are they using now in the OHL,WHL,QMJHL ?
  9. clarkiestooth
    Just do it in your oven. Preheat to 180 degrees, turn oven off, bake until insole mark disappears and they are very soft., usually 3 minutes or so.

    Nice deal for Yzerman. Really a smart GM. I live in Tampa now and have the opportunity to watch all Lightning games. Drouin is really really good offensively, and super gritty and competitive. The big down side long term for him is that he plays with his head down quite often. He has already had several concussions that have caused him to miss time. Mix that with his small size, and I wouldn't invest long term on him (5 years and $33.5M). They also need cap space for Johnson/palat. Sergachev looked great for Windsor. Huge potential. My guess is that Bergeron is offering Galchenyuk to philly for Ghost as we speak.

    I wonder how it would do in the VT testing? It's funny. I played some junior hockey over in Sweden in the late 70's. Everyone wore these helmets. Never any head injuries. Maybe today we should respect each others heads more, and not just try to build bigger helmets.

    Brand new, still in the wrapper, vintage Jofa 234 51 helmet. Brings me back to my youth!

    The UPS man just delivered my 310 helmet an hour ago. I will preface this by saying I despise the so called hi tech expensive helmets and have always categorized them as uncomfortable and offering no more protection than the venerable old stand by, the VN liner helmet. Give me an old Vector 08 or Bauer 4500 over the Re-Akt or Resistance any day of the week. I have to say this 310 is the most comfortable helmet I've ever tried on. Even more comfortable than the trusted VN liner. Super easy adjustment. Weight is not noticeably different from my V08. Passes the mirror test as well. Price reasonable. Strong win for CCM.

    As this thread has degraded into a spiraling chain of repeated statements and a soap box for helmet fit, I suggest a motion to give this thread a rest for a few months. The internet needs the space.
  15. clarkiestooth
    ........and that's a fine way to systematically go about picking a helmet. You just have to remember that the function of a helmet is to prevent skull fracture, and that they all work. And you can't realistically expect the first helmet on the list to protect against concussions any more than the 50th helmet on the list.

    I just ordered a 310 helmet, should have it in another 5 days. I went with it over the 710 because the two are almost identical, the difference being the 710 has an extra liquid filled protection system, which did not really excite me. Will give my impressions when I use it.
  17. clarkiestooth
    How is the weight of the 710 vs 310?
  18. clarkiestooth
    Didn't realize that. IW has already had them for sale for a couple weeks.
  19. clarkiestooth
    Any seen or used the new CCM 710 or 310 helmet? If so, how is the fit/weight versus my old favorite, the V08?
  20. clarkiestooth
    True that. It's not what ya got, it's what you can do with it.
  21. clarkiestooth
    That's the way to do it: find a pattern you like, load up, and stick with it.
  22. clarkiestooth
    Just picked up a pro stock Vrbata A5.2 SBP. Says it is a pattern HCR. Looks like the Combat, curve is slightly bigger.

    I just want to follow up with my experience on the edge checker. I received a sincere apology from the owner, who said the edge checker was surely damaged during shipping (it was shipped in an envelope). He said he has corrected the issue and I accepted his offer for a replacement. The new one came in a nice little plastic carrying case, was square, and the gauge was applied perfectly. This one seems much better and should do the job.

    I was going to buy the Prosharp, but when I put it in the cart the cost went to $79 when you included their shipping. So, I went with the $30 edgechecker on ebay (the rainbow striped one, the lower link). Mistake. Looked like it cost 25 cents to make. The back piece measuring gauge was glued on 2 or 3 mm crooked. The magnet portion of the back piece was clearly not square in the least. It's only about 2 inches long, so the inaccuracy stated render it totally worthless. Sent back. A measuring tool needs to be accurate, or you might as well not even use one. I just bought a Wissota 911, so I may have to spring for their $99 Elite version.
