    I think point being made is as you sharpen you change the width and alter the angle of the blades. You're essentially grinding away the gains.

    That was my thought as well. I've used it before but not on skates. There are lots of options, most of which from the automotive industry. For example... https://www.easycomposites.co.uk/#!/resin-gel-silicone-adhesive/epoxy-resin/black-epoxy-repair-filler-for-carbon-fibre.html

    Tydan makes a good product, definitely on par with Step. My only gripe with Tydan is they're a bit pricey. Looks like that's not a problem here though.

    Custom should be a last resort. It's a lot of money, especially for someone just starting out. A few people have had luck stretching toe caps. You dont get much though. Heels can definitely be stretched.

    I believe thats Bauer steel from the old Vapor 10.

    I still can't believe Millbury traded Luongo for that pick. Millbury made some stupid deals, there are many to choose from. Luongo and Chara have to be the two biggest. Both guys are locks for the HHoF.

    The old Nike/Innovative asymmetrical shaft is back.

    One way to find out. Lower the wheel and check the spring tension by hand. Raise it up and see if you feel a difference. The difference you hear could be debris on the ring after hitting the toe.

    This is my understanding as well. Which was confirmed by someone who works there.

    FWIW, I recently bought some sticks from an NCAA player. His knowledge of what he had and what they were worth was not great. He also had zero experience packaging and shipping sticks. That said, sticks look legit and the price is right. If they aren't as advertised, send them back.

    That or just put the original holders back on and give that profiling thing another chance. At this point I might just eat the cost of the swap and send them to someone who can actually fix it, like JR.

    How you liking battling with the shop over the holder swap......

    The thing to do there would be to put a larger profile on the blades.

    Let's be honest, you're already at check out. 😆

    I'd keep him too, just not at that number. Not so much the injury concern. More so hitching yourself to a guy for top dollar who hasn't been able to get you past the conference finals. Which is massive since it's a freaking all-star team.

    So has Price, Lundqvist, Rinne & Bobrovsky. You know what else they all have in common? None of them have won a Stanley Cup. In fact, the last guy to win a Vezina and a SC in the same year was Tim Thomas back in 2011.

    That's about $100US each, yeah, that's a decent deal. Depending on where you get them from. A pro-stock stick usually runs anywhere from $100-160US.

    If the shop pooched the mount. They should be pick up the cost of shipping. They made the mistake not you.

    Good find. That line in the back is not a seam as some have suggested. Its what we call a parting line. You almost always end up with lines at points in which the tools come together. Some are dressed better than others.

    Much like Bob, a huge payday for a guy who's never won a thing. Terrible cap management by the Bolts, especially since he was under contract for another year.

    Don't block shots with your stomach. That's the goalies job. If people are slashing players in the stomach perhaps it's time to find a new place to play or a heavier stick...if you catch my drift. 😁

    Rip it in half. Put the straggley end towards the grip instead of the end, you'll never notice.

    That's why I said, last I checked, which was back when the holder was first released. At the time I could only find CCM replacement steel.
  24. stick9
    Last I checked the only steel available for the XS holder was stock CCM steel. CCM has a history of making shitty steel. That said, I wouldn't move to the XS holder until STEP or Tydan started offering replacement steel. It did suck having to stick with Bauer steel for the Edge holder.

    Bump and price drop...
