Umm...in other news, got my HockeyTron bag. It is awesome and for about $40, was exactly what I needed. Lightweight, non-bulky, handy internal skate pockets and another mesh pocket to carry other items. Very sturdy construction and the outside bottom of the bag has plastic liner to prevent holes.
Looking through that customer service thread...that is just amateur. That person should be fired or at the least re-trained in customer service.

Found out where Tron is getting their visors and helmets.. (I assume all their other gear too.)
http://www.aliexpres...lmet-visor.html
If they are getting them at $9 a visor and have some kind of shipping deal then they're making a decent profit per visor.
So we have no way of knowing if these were quality tested or certified or any of that stuff? That just seems super sketchy.

I ordered their Tron bag for about $29. I wanted a basic pro type of bag with internal skate compartments. Anyone else have a Tron bag?

Cut off the padding on the top of my shinguards. They usually end up sticking out of the top of my socks and I hate this, so they're gone.
Replaced the terrible original runners on my Tacks with Pro E's.
Don't like helmet ear pieces, so those are out.
Maybe I have a weirdly shaped head, but helmet padding never really feels comfortable around certain parts of my cranium, so I usually shave out some of the foam accordingly.
It's not really a mod, but I frequently switch back and forth between cage and visor depending on mood and current facial injury state.

All good stuff. But my primary rule is don't hack. OK, if a stick hits me, no big deal. But if you're chopping a tree and surprised when my fist hits your face, then you are a moron.

Wow was that Hal Gill on D? He got smoked like a salmon.

I'm not the type to get erected from gloves, but those Swede mitts look sex!

I never really understood why people taped the hosel on their sticks. What do they think it's going to do?I did it to one of my sticks because it had a pretty nasty paint chip that I didn't want to exacerbate.

Hey, you're man enough to answer the bell. But that one haymaker looks like it connected but I'll take your word for it :)

Mgo: Custom tintjob on the visor or is that an option? Can't recall seeing Oakleys available in orange.

Adding smoked visors to the list of gear I like, but wouldn't rock.

Supergrass opened for the Foo Fighters when I saw them play last month. Kind of a cross between The White Stripes and The Shins. They were much much better live.They're still around? I have "In It for the Money". Harkens me back to the heyday of '97.
On a different note, I love how in the MIA video for "Paper Planes", she works in a grease truck and raps. Can't wait for radio to totally run that song into the ground, if it hasn't already happened.

Love the clean OG look of the Easton 4-rolls. Seems like some gloves today are being designed by the same guy who designs NASCAR hats.

A holdover from my Victory/emo days. Still jock these guys but I can see how they can be hated on. Canucks are especially welcome to speak on your native sons...

Do the tires still have treads? Roll em till they're bald!

Girls playing sans cage. That is f'n OLD SKOOL!

You ever like a band for a while, bought their albums, saw their live shows, then just kind of forget about them for a few years before you realize they put out an album a year ago and you just got around to getting it and you realize how awesome this band is?
Happened to me with AS I LAY DYING.
Loving "An Ocean Between Us". I might spin kick a newspaper vendor on my morning commute tomorrow as I bump this on my iPod.

Also picked up the new UNEARTH double DVD. This is one of the few bands that puts a smile on my face as I think about how much they destroy.That's whats up... I love that live DVD. I've got the audio ripped to my ipod. Check out my man Derek the water fairy during the credits..... he's hilarious. Actually all the Unearth dudes are a hoot.
A lot of live DVDs are snoozefests but I'd definitely re-watch this one a few more times. I actually like how in disc 1 it's strictly the tuneage, although it would've been nice if they had some sort of intro.

Hit up Best Buy and picked up the As Blood Runs Black joint, shit seems cool and good to listen to on the way to hockey and martial arts training.

I'm sure they've been jocked in this thread, but they're worth another pimp.

White 480s are the sweetest cages.

So happy to see OG color boots are coming back.
Knee pain and hockey

I rock these for knee compression when I play hockey as well as baseball and have had good results:
Knee brace compression sleeves
Not sure how much of a gimmick the copper infusion is, but hey if it works it works.
