@IPv6Freely has a point: during that minute, you can do whatever you want. But the reason I mentioned PS in the first place was this: The grinding wheels have 10x the lifespan at 2x the cost.

The ProSharp Home? They say it has just one button. (https://prosharp.ca/products/prosharp-home)

Then maybe a ProSharp would make more sense.

Those who've had Kessels can chime in with better accuracy because, as a lefty, I've only studied his pattern in pictures and the ones I've seen aren't from as much of an overhead angle as the first pic you posted (they're usually a little more looking-down-the-shaft). But it looks really similar if not the same pattern as I've seen of his sticks floating around the web. Every time I see it, if I were a righty, that'd be my pattern! Enjoy!
-
If it's usual Kessel, he's often got a PM9 with a little open, mid-toe curve added; post some pictures of the curve and we can help identify its closest neighbors.

Marleau's also a similar size but can beat opponents with finesse and is usually pretty good defensively as well. He ticks a lot of the nice-little-things boxes. If he's paired with Matthews and stays healthy he could put in 30 again, maybe 20 the next year, then who knows? It's still a lot of paper for a guy his age.
-
But who among the TML '16-'17 roster compares to Marleau, experience-wise? I don't know how valuable it is or isn't, but I can see Matthews playing with Marleau for a year could accelerate his ascension, even if his learning curve is already leaps and bounds ahead of most of the pack. I recall Rob Blake saying how he remembers Melrose putting him between Larry Robinson and Gretzky when he was a rookie, because Barry was trying to get it into his head that he could be one of the best defenseman in the world if he would step up to it. https://www.nhl.com/news/blake-used-motivation-to-pave-way-into-hall-of-fame/c-738080 Chemistry's a good way to put it. You put two things together and you're not sure they're going to work...so maybe groundbreaking/theoretical/experimental chemistry. But once in a while it works.
-
It makes sense if they want to accelerate the young kids' development. Marleau's been a team captain for years and has lots of difficult playoff experience. Moore and Hainsey are also character guys that know what it takes to compete based on the little things that have prolonged their careers, because Marleau's production puts him in the lineup where that's not the case for the other two. It's a lot of money for Marleau, but it seems like all of this is an investment in the team's character. Literally buying experience in the hopes that it will rub off on the young guns.

Totally agree.

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.
