    I might bite the bullet and order a pair. Has anyone tried them yet - particularly the blades? 2 piece sticks 4 lyfe.
  2. Cavs019
    Unless you can step on the Nexus ADVs blade and transform it from a PM9 to a Crazy Ovy mid-shift I ain’t interested.
  3. Cavs019
    The new model tacks skates. Otherwise I don’t see how this is any different from a post game in-locker room interview, aside from someone creepily taking a picture of PKs gear.

    Bauer still fuses in the extension. I have a few +4 inch pro stock 1X Lite/2S Pros where I cut through the fused section and the top of the stick is double walled from the extension’s tenon and filled with epoxy and foam. They measure the flex at retail length and do not make any adjustments to the shaft construction unless the build calls for it (SE models as an example).
  6. Cavs019
    In that case you can probably take a VN small. It sounds like you’re in the smaller end of the medium adjustment range vs where I am. I had a small Kings Pro VN a while back and couldn’t get it on my head at the most open setting. Same with the 9.0 in a small. FWIW the pro VN is the best helmet I’ve ever worn.

    I’ll take the pill when you show me one guy using these on a Bauer skate at the NHL level. Until then they stay in the container.

    It’s made by True so it’s the greatest thing in the history of mankind and will instantly put Bauer, CCM, and Warrior into bankruptcy.
  9. Cavs019
    Sizing is the same. The helmet is basically an IMS 9.0 with the occipital lock in the back.
  10. Cavs019
    Protection aside, it looks like version 43.2 of the goofy Cascade M11 helmet.

    Mission Pitch circa 2004ish

    Glad the EQMs like it - but again, there’s no chance that thing gets installed on Bauer and CCMs at scale.
  14. Cavs019
    Unless they’re being proactively mounted on Bauer and CCM skates at scale my guess is that they’ll be as much of a game changer as the skates themselves. You’re talking about stubborn creatures of habit that have had the word tuuk stamped on their holders for anywhere from 15 to 30+ years.
  15. Cavs019
    I didn’t like it - felt like/looked like I was playing with a shovel.
  16. Cavs019
    Will this finally expose the fact that Little Timmy’s Kane curve isn’t actually a Kane curve? Or will people order a Kane expecting a P88 and get a Shananan delivered to their door? Much suspense! Also - the Pastrnak sticks I’ve had in the past have just been stock P28s. Having that, P28, P28M, and Kucherov’s Fisher Pro seems a bit excessive.
  17. Cavs019
    Fisher pro - it’s really close to a P28.
  18. Cavs019
    Maybe they just figured they’d send you an average lie of 5.5 with that second order. I’ll be here all day 😝

    My Bauer APX2 customs are flawless in terms of construction, performance, and aesthetics. And remain so 5 years later aside from normal wear and tear from puck marks et al. This isn’t an optimizer where you have to compromise on one dimension in order to nail the others. True just doesn’t have their sh*t together when it comes to QC on their finishes, end of story. Every other pair I’ve seen would have been sold as a deeply discounted cosmetic blem at a big box retailer if it were Bauer/CCM/Graf/Easton.
  20. Cavs019
    P08 or Oshie pro is what you’re looking for. The lie and blade shape on the other blades mentioned in this thread aren’t anything like a P28. True TC3 might be another option.
  21. Cavs019
    I haven’t had any issues with Edge holders in 5 years. We really need to relax with the “one bad experience = everyone must have had a bad experience” mentality on this board. It leads to a lot of bad information.
  22. Cavs019
    Does True sell insoles separately? I’ve finally joined the cult and need an extra set. Or anyone have any extra pair for a 7ish boot?
  23. Cavs019
    JR- Have you thought about leveraging data aggregation tools for some of the metadata fields available in our member profiles? Of course the limitation here is that people would be required to keep their profiles up to date and accurate- but it would be cool to see what % of active MSH is using brand X or brand Y in different categories, then also by model, curve, flex, etc. - with history retention. I could see this helping in that: 1. Members can identify a critical mass of people who have used a certain product if they want to pick their brain(s). 2. It could help identify sub-communities of sorts, i.e., who is still a member of the Drury/heel curve cult (lol). 3. Though a small sample, manufacturers would also be able to get a pulse on what gearheads are currently leaning towards. Happy to flesh out in more detail over PM/chat.

    If people actually care about stats, wins, and losses in your beer league you’re in the wrong league or need to adjust your mindset. Play hard, don’t be an asshole, win or lose, have a few cold ones, then go to work the next day. Some people go to Barry’s Boot Camp or whatever the workout of the month is- we have the best sport in the world (physically and socially) to get our exercise. Try enjoying it for what it is and don’t take it for granted!
