    Dolo is a great looking stick and one of my faves, but isnt 10 pictures of a regular no frills retail stick a bit excessive?

    I wish the guys who get awsome custom stuff would put up that many!

    No, you don't.

    I catalog my gear when I get new stuff in so I have over 350 pictures of my gloves alone... You don't want that clogging up the thread. Not to mention other members that are just as bad when it comes to gear whoring.

    I do like cataloging the stuff though, I rarely don't have a picture when someone asks for a pic of *whatever* and it really only takes about 2 minutes to take a few pics and upload them to my comp and stuff them into a folder.

    Will happily leave it like that, but I didn't say the price for the OS wasn't included in the price, only that a preinstalled OS is cheaper than one bought at retail, which is logical. I couldn't find a better comparison, sry. If I'm wrong or right that's a different discussion, at the end I just hope you understood what I was trying to say.

    I know it's tough to find a comparison, just realize that if you make a bad comparison someone will correct it. No harm meant.

    My head hurts, I guess this is what happens when english is not my first language, so I'll give it another shot. What I was trying to say all along is that it's much better to get a one95 on closeout than a one100, since it's the same skate. After that I wanted to say they could have incorporated some new tech in the new one100 and not just the totalone, like the fusion blade for example. At this point someone said the price for a one100 will be around 600$, lower than when the one95 was launched, 650$. Then someone else said the price of the one100 would rise if they had the fusion blades on and gave a reason for that "if they were to add the fusion steel which costs $100". NOW, what I wanted to say was that they could put the fusion steel on because it doesn't cost them that much to produce and the one100 is a dressed up version of the one95, so it shouldn't be that expensive NOW. Think of it this way, when you buy a laptop you can have a preinstalled windows or something else, linux, whatever, or nothing and you would have to buy a windows license, SO in the price of the laptop with preinstalled windows there is an amount payed for the OS, BUT it's much cheaper than if you bought it yourself (the fusion blades are the OS). I really hope you get what I wanted to say because i can't be any clearer than that and if not F**K it, there was a logical point in there somewhere, but let's leave it like that. Cheers

    It doesn't take an accountant to know that buying a skate that is on closeout is going to be cheaper than buying a newly released skate. This is where you should have stopped talking.

    Your point on Windows is completely different, you cannot compare software prices to hardware prices. ...Aand f you don't think that the licensing fee is included in your PC purchase, you're very ignorant.

    Bauer is not going to punish itself for releasing a limited number of TotalOnes because the one100 is really top of the line... the TotalOne is a limited edition. Aaand don't get started on "Just the same skate," look at Reebok/CCM, Graf, Easton, now look at Bauer's skate lines over the past 6 years. I'm pretty sure Bauer is the only one that actually LOWERED the price of their top of line skate without drastically changing technology. Reebok/CCM didn't come up with something new until the U+, Graf has composite outsoles, Easton just fixed their durability issues. Damn Bauer for setting their bar soo high by innovating a completely new skate every year and recognizing that their newest innovation would cost too much to sell to the majority of their customers.

    You're just wrong, let's leave it at that. :rolleyes:

    I don't know what the cutoff is for the size holder on the two skates... but I'm guessing that the Vapor got the larger holder because it is a wide width while the Flexlite cutoff was the next size up. Oddly enough the Flexlites would be the wider skate.

    I know with older Bauer skates a 10.5D on a wider skate model* or wide width would be a 296 but they changed that for some reason with the one95 and the new Supreme line.. probably a holdover from the one90 line.

    *To clarify, a one95 is 10.5D should be a 296 holder but a Vapor 10.5D should be 288, while a Vapor 10.5EE should be 296.

    I've had an injured right leg for about 2 months, Ive been playing hurt but took a week off because it was really bad. I was plenty able to play, it was just painful. I tried playing, beat a guy to the puck and spun off to protect the injured leg.. I get light contact to the back and the toe of my skate gets stuck against the wall. Knee and body keep moving right, ankle is stuck going left. *POP* now I'm on crutches, again. Last time I hurt my knee this bad ended my baseball/football days. Pile that onto everything that has happened the past 3 months for me and well... Life sucks. :-/

    Hopefully, it doesn't end your playing days but I think this story should serve as a valuable lesson to folks out there.

    A few lessons:

    *Don't play injured.

    *Find another outlet to release stress. I swear I'm going to go absolutely nuts if I don't find something to keep my mind off of things quick.

    *When it rains, it pours.

    *Always save your crutches/braces/pain meds.

    My impression is that Eagle only makes wide and tougher gloves, are there any 'anatomical' gloves similar to the S17 or One95/90?

    The PPF glove is slimmer than the average Eagle glove.

    Same with the X72 and Fusion before that.

    Well those are slimmer but not as slim as the PPF, IMO. You could add the X50, X6 into that category too. :)

    I'll be taking my virgin voyage on the FBV tonight, 35 years on a traditional hollow down the drain.

    One of the guys on my team said he was watching a game the other night and they were talking about it. He told his wife that he had been skating on it for almost a year and she didn't believe him.

    Some a month or so ago asked me if I'd ever heard of it...I said..."Been skating on it since I went to Novi last year". Then I had to backtrack and explain what THAT meant!

    I've gotten those questions a lot over the past year. I've gotten pretty good at explaining what FBV does, haha. :P

    Just picked these up yesterday at TSR. They had 1 pair left of the Tavares gloves so i got lucky. These things are pretty damn stiff. The Stars ones are pretty awesome and i can't wait to use these. I didn't know Henrik had a twin brother.

    I would have bought those Tavares gloves a couple days ago but they don't have the right palm, so I passed. <_<

    Classy decision by the Angels!

    "The Los Angeles Angels voted to give a full postseason share to the estate of Nick Adenhart, the rookie pitcher killed in April in a car accident allegedly caused by a drunken driver.

    The Angels’ shares were worth $138,039. Los Angeles lost to the New York Yankees in the AL championship series."

    Very classy move by a team that proved they were classy about the situation all season.

    Did he play enough to get his pension? I hope so.

    MLB does a pretty good job of taking care of it's players, in my opinion. I had a friend that blew out his shoulder but he did qualify for his pension. With the pension he was able to take care of his two-year-old son and his wife while going to college to get a real job. Without that pension who knows how they'd get by.

    When was it stolen? A pair of Avery's popped up on eBay a couple days ago, doubtful it's your pair but it's worth a look.
