Yeah, KGB is right, you were thinking of 2016 Kovy, who was apparently missing Panarin pretty hard. 2017 Kovy was pretty beast again (with strong support from Datsyuk and Voynov). He's still only 34! This could give him the chance to be the second Russian to get 500 NHL goals. And I think he wants to win a Stanley Cup. His chance with the Devils was pretty dim with his injury limiting him and they didn't have so much offense aside from what he could produce when he was healthy.

How much does your girdle weight @Cosmic? -
I'm with you personally, but the fact is it is a design product so on that plane it is necessary to discuss concept, fit and finish, etc. And plenty of shallower buyers will be swayed by looks alone.
-
I assumed that would go out the window, but the level of polish I expected instead is nowhere to be seen.
-
He had good chemistry with Panarin at SKA.
-
The new design looks at least as clunky as the MLX:
-
Bjorkstrand got hunted on a vicious boarding play by Polak, are there other instances where he failed to protect himself? It's not as easy to protect oneself against illegal hits... Another upside on OB you miss is he's a coach's son and he plays like it. It seemed Tortorella was gaga with Bjorkstrand at the end of the season and I think that's why. He makes the right play with and without the puck most of the time. It'll be interesting to see Panarin without Kane. I think Kane boosted him and you think Kane held him back. Interesting :)
-
I'm curious to see how he'll do out of the shadow of Kane. He created some serious chances for Russia in the World Championship, but that was on the bigger ice surface. He may prove easier to nullify when he's not the 3rd or 4th checking concern. Saad makes perfect sense back in Chicago to replace Hoss's play on both sides of the puck.
-
MacKinnon was in FT1s for a bit, but for the latest he was in 70Ks at the World Championship. Zucker's also one of the faster skaters in the league and he stuck with VH all year last season.
-
Totally agree. Unless that area has shown excessive wear, imitating the Bauer Supreme one95 heel cup only detracts from the essence of the VH->True boot. The next iteration could be spot on. But this one is too wishy-washy, lukewarm. Edit: And the new tongue looks cheap by comparison to the old ones.
-
They look clunkier than before.
-
Love the look of oughties sticks and shafts.
-
How's the new tendon guard attached inside? Is it still the same two piece junction?
-
All-Star gloves. The eye is another icon he has on his gloves.
-
If there's a comments box as part of the order, maybe just pick any old shaft finish and then write that you just picked a shaft finish because it was a required option, but that it obviously should be disregarded, as you're not ordering any shafts.
-
Graf Canada wasn't domestic though.
-
I see why you say that. I have a couple of Malkins (both Eastons) and they seem to be based on the E4 as well. They're not bad, but maybe a bit more pocket than I like. Has there been more chatter about a Kessel Pro with you guys?
-
Longer E4 with a mid-toe curve added to it. I love that recipe. I'd try his pro stocks but I'm a lefty.
-
It's been noticed before in this thread: The discussion continues for a bit around that post.
-
Congrats :) How / where did you do the fitting / tracing? Is there a place up by you? I've only spotted a couple of pairs down here, but I haven't seen many elite games so there might be more at that level that I'm not aware of.
-
Yeah, not many do. A lot of tongues-out guys end up tongues-in, like Statsny. I think Kulikov flopped his VHs for a while. He's another try-everything for his feet.
-
What would you wear if you had your pick of any of the skates on the market? It's one of those questions I think about, as I imagine other MSHers do as well, quite often. Well, Sergei Shirokov may be a study in that merry-go-round: He was a long-time Vapor guy but switched to VH a couple of years ago. Apparently he wasn't sure of them though, going through JetSpeeds, Super Tacks, 1N's after his initial run in VHs but now he's back in a rather ugly custom order of their recent version: What a fickle guy.
-
Another great fastest skater performance from McD. He beat Gartner's record and didn't even need Larkin's head start. I was impressed how quickly he got started to that first corner in the prelims. He's definitely fast and he zips out of curves using his crossovers but his straightaway speed is right at the top.
-
Duh, sorry I can't read. I misread the post I quoted you on above more than once...I shouldn't allow myself near the computer before coffee :P
-
Which one is the stiffer holder according to their experience, the more often preferred SB 4.0 or the VH/Step holders? Can't tell from your first sentence.
