  1. The draft day scene will have to include several hours at the Irish pub and a stop and the waffle house.
  2. They canceled our playoff game, makeup is Monday when there is another potential storm.
  3. We had 6 or 7" last night, now I can't see across the street.
  4. Good interview on VS during the intermission. "Took a bad penalty, had to make up for it"
  5. It would have to be a pretty major "oops". Feel free to disagree with me, it's just my opinion. I find that I need to do my skates a bit more often with FBV.
  6. We're in the 15-20" part of the picture and that doesn't include the 16 or so still on the ground from the last one.
  7. Don't forget how Price got the job in the first place and how well that is working out right now.
  8. Oh it works alright, the question is if you like it.
  9. There is nothing wrong with being a skeptic, only with those who have an agenda and claim to be a skeptic to hide their agenda. I am notoriously skeptical about the claims manufacturers make, but my experience with the product made me a believer. The same way you know with a traditional ROH sharpening. Either you trust them, or you don't, technology has nothing to do with that. More flat at the top does not equal more bite. You're taking multiple measurements and their relationship and drawing an incorrect assumption based on one factor. I have yet to see a skate where the steel thickness has been so far out of the norm that it has made a significant difference. And even if it did, you simply try another hollow to find the one that works for you. A bad sharpener will screw up any hollow. I see it happen all the time with traditional ROH sharpenings. The spinner makes it less likely to screw up dressing the wheel, but to quote Ron White; "You can't fix stupid." If someone butchers a skate so badly that you can't skate on an FBV sharpening, you would have the same problem with ROH. I don't think anyone should be charging more for it, but that's their business. Much of the technology has been used in machining and manufacturing, but what does that to do with skate sharpening or the validity of the end result? The concept that created the spinner is unrelated to the FBV. Other than the fact that the spinner allowed the FBV to come into existence. You have hit almost every negative from the Blademaster marketing materials. It sure sounds like the shop you trust has an agenda against the FBV and I tend not to trust people with an agenda.
  10. 1. Looking at the warning it says "Gratuitous profanity", no idea what you're bitching about. 2. Additional warning and suspension added for bitching about getting a warning.
  11. You ordered Thursday night: Order is processed on Friday, two business days from Friday is....Tuesday. My phone has been on the verge of death for a few days since it vibrated into the kitchen sink full of water. I ordered my replacement on Thursday night and it will be here on Tuesday as well.
  12. Snow ended up even with the top of my bumper, not looking forward to shoveling out.
  13. If they can get the charter flight to land at DCA, they should be able to get them to the hotel and rink. If they have to land at Dulles, that will be more difficult.
  14. thats need to be on the front page or something Some people would still ignore it or post something like this: "I know most stuff will be released in the spring but what about XXX?"
  15. Post removed, warning added. We have a forum for selling equipment, this is not it.
  16. I've broken two and a prototype R9 in the last 18 months. It hurts to see them go. The worst of it is, I broke a SE16 blade in my X:60 shaft on Thursday at practice, an AK27 shaft during our game Friday (The older nipple grip red/black one. Which I loved, but can't find. Any help?), and my R2 on our game on Saturday. Sonofabith. Hefty Discover bill this month... P.S. - Is the R9 an in-process, or a never-was? Was going to be, but died with the sherwood buyout. I have no idea what it would have been called, the R9 name and paint job were an inside joke between myself and the designer.
  17. I've broken two and a prototype R9 in the last 18 months. It hurts to see them go.
  18. Because it's Montreal and the media is looking to create problems.
  19. trade details sent to trade forum
  20. If that's true, its definitely not working for me. That stick looks awful. I'd spray it for sure. It's WWII retro, just about the polar opposite of what Warrior is doing. It looks like it was done pretty well, but I can't imagine it selling well at all.
  21. It does have some basis in fact though. The Busch sticks have great feel but not much else going for them.
  22. And the Canadian dollar is up, making it even more expensive
