Excellent gloves. A+++ seller and as advertised

Maybe these are an option https://pantherteeth.com/product/panther-teeth-for-ice-skates/?fbclid=PAAaZFQLqBD6wsEbCx80dZhWucP1Y42TgJmnDmn2p5ifL9k99yExHOH644rUY_aem_ARFveK8btSYiP7TjTZfy_Vdm8ca9jypyA7My4OeULxdi2vj1y08fzrdjeQR0MCVTQ16fhi44JLRkdLP50-XcmIyNjqMJFkKTglFjo_OIFk9w81hBjegBjo7Pqk3gLla1Ifo

Count me as a fan of the older P88 Sakic vs the newer P92's. Did the older P92's from the One95 era have a different lie?

These still available? $50 shipped? I've bought on here before but it's been 10+ years.

I wore 707's in the late, late 90's and I may still have a pair laying around. Super comfortable

My old custom Graf G70 Ultras were getting a little worn, so I went to find something similar fit-wise and ended up with the Ribcor 76K a couple years ago. Very comfy out of the box and I upgraded to the Ribcor 90K for $499 at the LHS in January and they've been a pleasant surprise. I don't like my skates to be super stiff and with the addition of the black stepsteel and ortholite insoles, they've performed superbly. I have a normal width foot but a high instep and these have proven be as good of a fit as my old Grafs.

At this point, I’d probably stick with Strauss Skate in St Paul.

I bought all the P40 curves at my LHS last fall. I still have a few P92 and P88 curves left, including a couple Stealth CNT’s that haven’t ever left my closet.

Your best bet is to get customs with the necessary clearance and width. It works best with a custom footbed installed as well. That will keep your arch in place and your feet flattened out in the skate. Do you have high arches as well? The Ribcor skate fits pretty well stock wise but it sounds like you need a custom width. utilizing stop gap methods and “fixes” is a waste of time and money, get it done right the first time.

Could it be that these skates are much more flexible than you’re used to?

I always thought the Graf brand yellow waxed laces were the best back in the day. I'm just using the non-wax stock CCM skate laces nowadays though. They seem to be of high quality as well.

Those get picked up very quickly around here. Hardly any on clearance in a 10D plus I like to support my local shop. They take good care of me

Still got yellow laces on my old Grafs

Seems like they're both "elite" level skates but the 80K (and 100K) has the carbon fiber outsole, whereas the 90k is a plastic of some sort.

I just ordered some CCM Ribcor 90K skates from my local shop. I was just curious to see how they compare to the previous top end model? (Ribcor 80K) Anyone have knowledge regarding this? I already have the black step steel that I'll be removing from my 76K skates onto these when they come in.

I can recall Lemieux wearing those CCM 652's with the ICM and later Tuuk holders back in the day.

I went 3/4 w/the StepSteel black when I purchased them last spring. I've skated in them about 15 games w/o sharpening since.

Found this in my basement storage room. Maybe I’ll wear it next week

There’s no substitute for trying these skates on. The supremes have different fits within the Supreme line if I remember correctly. https://www.bauer.com/en-US/performance-skates.html

P88 is more of a mid curve than a P92, which is more of a toe curve. I prefer the P40/P88 when shooting from the dots and back. When I think of the P88, I’m more or less thinking of the old Easton Sakic, which I still use. HockeyMonkey says the Ovechkin P92 is the P88, but I disagree and the P92 is more of a toe kink/curve with the intention of lifting the puck more easily. I prefer to keep my shots a little lower but I can see why it’s so popular.

If you don’t like your P40, I’ll take it off your hands. It’s my ideal pattern. Bought a couple P40 Hossa Reckoners the other day.

I went from the Graf Ultra G70 to the Ribcor skates without any issues. I have a high arch/instep and there’s no lace bite. I should be able to skate all day with good insoles, very comfortable skate. The asked guy knew I was coming from a Graf skate and felt the lean and fit was best suited for me.

I've still got my Nike Bauer 195 shaft/blade combo. Easily the best setup I've ever used.
