One sponsored by Bauer I'd guess.

So are you making a (predicted) judgment call that the One90 < S15 < Fuel 120s? Or do you just like to try out new gear? Just wondering if your opinion is that for you, that's how you'd rank the skates.

I'm guessing Dan is a Canadian? Thus the Maple Leaf with the German flag. That's a mean looking penguin!

I feel sorry for a lot of the people that buy something really important like a skate from online stores. When I recently bought my Bauer 8000, I used the ePuck sizing tool to estimate what size I would need based on my shoe size. It told me I wore a Bauer 9, which is what I would have ordered from the web. When I went to my LHS, the guy measured my foot and I told him I should wear a 9 in a Bauer, so he brought me out a 9 like I asked and the 9.5 which he thought would fit better. I tried them both on; now I own a pair of 9.5 and won't ever think of buying skates online again. I agree with other happy MSHers though - there are people that will buy online for whatever reason, but having spent a little time on these boards I'm way more inclined to give as much business as I can to my LHS because you guys are willing to give up advice when you don't know me from a hole in the ground. Pay it forward, I say!
