Please, bring back the s500 tongue.

I don't think "loyal customers" means what you think it does.

The 9800 was Air like the 9500 (at least the model year I had), but with a thinner black Pittards Quartz palm. The cuff was different, too, and the big downfall of the glove - a neoprene/velcro nightmare.

A pair of one90s and a Kronik is not bad for a dowry these days - you may want to reconsider. Plus, you would most likely get free sharpening for the life of the marriage.

So YOU got the Chimera Sherwood from Ponty! I had the only bid on that.

No offense, Allsmoke, but this looks like a picture from a blind hockey league. Is there a beeping puck somewhere?

Well, it is a 10-7, but Biogirth.

Those are beautiful, JR.

I retired those gloves twenty years ago, just haven't ever been able to throw them away. They remind me of Gordie Howe. The CXS is a great shaft, my first and last aluminum. It may be for sale soon, as baby needs a new pair of shoes. Literally.

Kenosha, WI it should be condemned The whole town? I agree. Is the old State Fair Park (in West Allis) arena still in use? That was my home rink in high school, but was showing its age twenty years ago (pre-Pettit Center).

Buzz, what rink is that?

I turned 100,000 miles on my '98 Subaru Outback on the way to work this morning. I just need another 100,000 out of it and then I can start to think about how to afford another car.

When many of us were growing up, there were nothing but wood sticks and they didn't have flex ratings printed on them. I just don't think anyone ever gave it much thought. Now, people see "Flex ##" on the shaft and it's almost a subliminal command to take it off the rack and flex the stick. Seeing the different numbers sparks their curiosity, and they think flexing the stick on the floor will tell them something...

Helmet: CCM HT500 w/ Bauer unfinished steel cage (5000?) Shoulder Pads: Sher-Wood 5030 - light, minimal, all I need Elbow Pads: Jofa 6500 - very protective, but not too bulky, stay in place Gloves: Louisville TPS HGT - very light, comfy, good looking. My favorite gloves. I sold my Eagle CP96 and bought 2 pair of these. Also, Easton Z-Air (pro return, Van Impe) - Nice Pants: Bauer 5000 (pro return, Kings) - Heavy, but protective and fit well Shin Pads: Jofa 9090 - Very protective, and I don't find them too bulky at all. After knee injuries, these are the way to go. Just replaced my beloved old D&R Centurions Skates: Mission S500 - recent aquisition, but I love them so far (I'd like to put the new clear LS Power on them, though), my Amp Flys w/Tuuk+ are now outdoor skates Sticks: Inno True 1 260 flex Kovalev - love it Inno Novius Grip OPS 260 flex Kovalev - love it Inno Novius Grip Tapered 260 flex w/Kovalev blade - love it Mission M-1 Grip 95 flex Zhamnov (looks like a Leopold or McCauley) - nice feel, hard shooter, although my slapshot tends to fly 5 ft over the net Inno 1100 Polarfiber standard w/ Easton UL Z-Tac Lidstrom blade - workhorse, now a backup & outdoor stick Hespeler 9010 standard w/ Sher-Wood 950 Chelios blade - my first composite, now gathers dust Sher-Wood 5030 Chelios - my last woodie, hangs on the basement wall
