  1. You want the center line of the blade (shows as Fn below) to be shifted to the left or right? I don't know if that's what you want to do without testing it. Maybe orthotic sole/custom footbed might fix your problem.
  2. If you don't want to buy a Sparx machine, and the local sharpening isn't good, check out https://www.noicingsports.com/ I don't know if the MSH Pro shop is back open or not. They did provide sharpenings and re-profile jobs. https://modsquadhockey.com/forums/store/category/10-msh-pro-shop/
  3. Have you played center? You are more likely to skate more since you should be playing deep in the offensive zone helping wingers and deep in your defensive zone helping the defensemen. You probably want to look for a new team a level up this coming fall/winter.
  4. Better visibility doesn't equate to more saves. I would like to see a direct shot at the cage. That video showed the puck coming in flat where some of the impact was on the mask and not on the cage.
  5. I had a goalie girdle by CCM. It was good. I bought it around 1987. As for fit, it was great. Very mobile feeling and not constricting. I doubt it would be popular today as goalies want the width of the padding to help block shots, not a form-fitting appearance providing less blocking area. Also, wouldn't work with goalies who want to tuck their chest protector in their pants.
  6. I got their dual combination radius. I didn't like it so I went back to single radius. It cost me (cut to dual and cut back to single) but I was skating better with single radius. Whether you get a profile or not, their sharpening services are great. Where I am, pro shop sharpening quality was hit-or-miss. Radius of hollow was good, never got uneven edges, all nicks removed.
  7. It was close but Colorado played game 6 better.
  8. Looks like someone used nail polish remover. I guess it would be an experiment for you.
  9. Game 3 was pretty good. Tampa Bay looked much better than in Game 1 and 2. Game 2 was so sad, one of the worst come-back from behind games ever... didn't even score a goal during the come back.
  10. For those not from Toronto, what would these reasons be?
  11. I'll go to one of the major online hockey equipment retailers, Hockey Monkey or Pure Hockey, and then search for sticks on clearance. I'll buy what is there in my preferred lie in a right-hand stick. Curve pattern, kick-point and flex are a "beggars can't be choosers" selection. But, for the most part, I can play with whatever curve, flex or kick-point as long as the lie is right.
  12. There's four major brand skates, Bauer, CCM, Graf, and TRUE Sports. Not sure if there's room (customer demand) for another brand to squeeze in.
  13. OK. Well, it was just an idea. Having worn Bauer 6 D, and then trying a 6 E was not good. Although it felt okay when I tightened down the laces, it was actually a bit loose at the top of the boot and ankle area.
  14. Have you thought of trying Jetspeed in E width? 5'6" 183 lbs., offensive d-man. I have Fred Flintstone feet with medium arches.
  15. In this video, blue 19 (which I guess is you) is hanging out way too far ahead of the play. From 0:03 to 0:21, you are doing circles all around the neutral zone. You are making it hard for your team mates to head man it to you because you are too far away. From a puck carrier's perspective in their own zone, they have to pass it up through a lot of traffic and that gives the opposing team's defensemen a lot of time to read a pass going to you because of the distance. You are forcing your defenseman (or center) to bank it up the sides of the boards hard or make a very hard pass up the middle which can turn into an icing if you miss the pass. The three zone passes you see in the NHL are pretty rare. Most wingers will hang out in their zone when breaking out. Depending on skill level of the puck carrier, they might pass it up to you when you are hanging out between the center line and your blue line. But if that doesn't materialize, don't keep on going farther up. Skate back down into your zone and make yourself open for a pass. At 0:49, not sure why white 00 didn't get a penalty call. You had not made contact with the puck and were hit from behind.
  16. I didn't think the Avalanche would sweep their series. It's looking like Tampa has the momentum.
  17. Rebadged bauer stick with similar kick point probably. But, they have it with a PM9 blade if there's anyone into a 3/8" curve.
  18. Yeah, those curves aren't for the retail stick crowd.
  19. Warrior W71 If you go to www.prostockhockey.com and click on 'player sticks' and on the right, under "RETAIL CURVE COMPARISON", select P77W71. Also, if you select "No Retail Comparison", you will see some sticks that have a very deep curve.
  20. The Edmonton v. Colorado match up is interesting. Both teams seem to have the puzzle pieces together for a Stanley Cup team... maybe. The Tampa Bay v. NY Rangers series makes me sick. I just don't like the Rangers. 🤣 Anyway, I was watching some of game 1 at the gym. Tampa Bay was looking sad after it was 2 - 4. Nothing was clicking together offensively.
  21. Never heard of them. I bought stuff from Great Skate back in the 80s and 90s. In the late 90s, I bought stuff from a mail-order catalog from London Source For Sports in London, ON.
