Yes I did get them baked of course. I'm not a barbarian! 😂

I see how the toe cap tucks into the underside of the skate and was wondering if it effects mounting the chassis onto the skate. I'm using a hi-lo kryptonium chassis hoping their won't be any issues with drilling holes and such.
I'm looking to do the same. Did you have any issues?

My dad bought a pair of Trues and didn't like them; said they were too hard to put on. Bought some Supremes and gave me his Trues. Luckily for me our feet are very similar besides me having a flat arch. I've been wearing them for about 2 months now and while they started out painful in the arches, I absolutely love them now. I was very afraid that they wouldn't break into a foot that it wasn't specifically made for, but I was wrong. If they fit somewhat correct, they can break in and they are incredible skates. My hats off to VH and True for their hard work.

So my dad bought a pair of True's but recently injured his hip so decided to hang them up after skating in them less than 10 times and gave me them. Only skated in them once on the ODR and they felt good skating wise, but are a little too painful in the arches as well they are alittle short around the toes but haven't caused much pain there. I was wondering if you guys would advise anything to enhance the fit there whether it be another bake, getting them punched out, or just persistence?

That probably no significant problems but I always tape the toe because my OCD doesn't want to risk it chipping and I like how it looks/feels better taped to the toe.
My dad also doesn't tape to the toe and gets chips and can't figure out how to tape it to the toe the way I can do (which isn't hard) but hates my tape-jobs on the blade so he'll tape the blade all the way to the last couple of rows and will have me finish his tape job. Family finds it funny because he's been playing since he was 6 and was really good back in his day, but has his son finish his tape jobs haha.

Just because because the league has high revenue doesn't mean they should have to pay the insurance bill for all the players. If you're implying that a percentage of their pay cheque should be deducted to provide them health care, that would be a different discussion. With that being said, these athletes also make millions of dollars on their contracts and can afford their own health insurance, who's to say they're unable to find their own health insurance provider?

I heard that the reason they've raised the price on their sticks recently was because of how much Bauer pays for losing inventory when people abuse their warranty. However, this may have been an unreliable source. If it were a correct source I have to say I'm frustrated to hear that Bauer is this difficult about their warranties for their customers.
This is why I buy pro stocks for the most current top of the line stick that have my specs online when I can find them (it does take some digging). I find I can save 100 bucks after shipping and spending an extra 100 bucks for a 30 day warranty just isn't worth it for me.

The idea of insurance is spreading risk across an entire population and getting ahead of the problems so they don't become catastrophic and extremely expensive. How much would some of those former players that took their own lives have benefited from having a post career plan in place rather than being left on their own to figure it out?
I agree that the former players may have benefitted from it, but as I said before, there is much risk for insurance companies to cover NFL alumni so they would require a high premium. Who is going to pay for that?

Knowing what we know now about brain injuries is exactly what will make insurance companies not want to cover these athletes unless there is a huge premium. I doubt the league or the owners are going to want to dish out that kind of cash especially after such a poor season viewership-wise.

I don’t think this will be the most unpredictable series of the playoffs but I sure think it’ll be one of the most entertaining

Looks like the original 1X tongue

Agreed.. He has the skill to be an elite and clean player.. Completely unnecessary

Hey Dudes
So tonight I had a rough game energy-wise. I didn't feel as much motivation to chase the puck, get open, etc. I am not in the best shape for sure, but I've played much better than this lately. There were a couple of factors to this, but to shorten things the main reason I'd say is that I didn't get a whole lot to eat today (tried to take this home-made pre-workout my wife has to compensate.. didn't work so well)
I know my nutrition today didn't help for this at all before I get a response about that.. I was just wondering what you guys eat before a game or if there's any supplements you use that help you get amped up... besides cocaine.
Thanks guys

Hey guys wondering where to find a pair of CCM insoles in either low or mid in size Large
I have a pair of Super-tacks I'm breaking in and get a terrible blister on the inside arch.. Specifically on the right foot.
As a preface, I've tried super-feet and they don't work for me and one time I tried out Bauer Speed-plates and broke my leg in them.. Too superstitious to wear them again.
If anyone knows I'd appreciate it because it seems like eBay, HockeyMonkey, and Pure Hockey are all getting to the point where they only have the harder to sell sizes left.
Thanks guys

Im guessing Custom colors to match the team.
New or old?

What stick is vyacheslav voynov using in this picture?

From my beer league experience the lower the league the harder the hacks and physicality. Me playing on a Div D2 team as a sub for a coworker was how I broke my leg. Got tripped by the d-man while I was chasing the puck in the corner at high speed in their end...
Doesn't help that I may have been trying a little too hard because I had a lady in the crowd and was trying to seal the deal.. She's my wife now so it worked out even though I have a rod in there for life.
OP I think its safe to say its just about feeling it out. If you find yourself pissing people off or leading in PIMs.. Time to tone it down.. If you're work is getting you the puck and avoiding the box/irritation from your teammates and is only pissing them off, I think its safe to say your play is working out well for you.. Everyone just has to watch their damn sticks sometimes.

Noticed that nobody's talked about doing this to Bauers.. Is this only possible for CCM's?
I have a pair of supertacks though and I might do this when they start chipping

Just seeing this and I'm excited for your idea! I wear my Apple watch and use the general exercise to stick and pucks and shinny, but I'm afraid to wear it in a full game since my wife dropped her Apple Watch onto tile from 3 feet and it cracked and she paid 300 dollars to fix it. Pretty expensive fix when the watch itself is 500. Just afraid of getting a back hack to the screen and cracking it.

I'm bigger in the waist as well. I'm hoping getting back on the ice can help. I bought a pair of supreme S190 pants. They have a nice design with velcro straps that sit on your stomach so you don't have to rely on them sitting on your waist. I like the S190 more than the 1S because it has less material that makes it lighter plus considering its beer league I don't think you need the same protection NHLers do.. plus they're cheaper than a 1S pant.
