just scored a pair of lightly used Alex Steen VH skates off side line swap. they're my size and width so hopefully his feet aren't drastically differently shaped than mine and they mold to my feet okay. i'm sure i can punch and manipulate if need be. couldn't beat the price

man, that's brutal. i'm really sorry for your losses. but i hope you and your dad now have room for 2 other dogs that need homes.

this is how the one league i play in has become. these kids come home from college and jump on and the league doesn't give a shit at all. and its not like these kids are taking it easy. they could be up 8-0 and they'll still be skating like its game 7 of the cup finals and celebrating every goal like they've never scored before

I used the Lidstrom and Drury for years and years. now I use the stamkos/zetterberg/cammalleri/modano and have no idea how I ever used those big heel curves

Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.com/itm/272689567799 cheap

that's what I've always loved about Graf. my last pair I bought in 2000 and finally retired them 2 years ago. replaced them with 703s from the same era I found on eBay barely worn for $90. not to mention how comfortable they are after bake and break in. even after 15 years my last pair were still so comfortable and there wasn't really any boot breakdown just the exterior of the skate was hammered and ripping from blocking shots and whatever else. thankfully with my new pair I've been wearing skatefenders with them from day 1

last year with my old gloves and old shins

I always go full gear and full face to open hockey like any other game

oh here "drop in" is "open hockey" and "stick n puck" or "sticktime" is exactly what it sounds like. basically a public skate where you can shoot around. once in a while a goalie shows up and one side of the ice is for breakaways on him and the other side is for people who wanna work on stick handling and passing with their friends

i'll never understand going full gear to stick n puck. skates, gloves, helmet, stick. that's the best part of going to stick n puck

great mail day.

always gotta load up when they're on clearance, too
