    I'm now 3 skates in and with my foot settling into the ankle pads the pitch is matching what I was used to skating on prior to these. Outside of adjusting to the steel height difference between my super worn down LS2 and the new SB black, these bad boys are really dialing in for me.

    2 skates in on these and they're a great set of wheels. Increased pitch coming off Tuuk is taking a little getting used to but getting nice response from these.

    Reminds of when the Mrs. and I watch the Amazing Race together. At some point either one of us could say, "We'd kill each other".

    If you're going to quote me and disagree, at least reread what I wrote first. Nothing worse than being lectured for saying exactly what the lecturer posts in response.

    They play low off the points but they do their best to be in the shooting lane.

    Not much more annoying that being at the point and the opposing forward just glues themselves to you.

    Beer league should always keep it simple. The two D and center (or first guy back) handle down low and wings are responsible for the points. With the short benches and constant subs in and out of beer league teams you really can't adopt any actual system as the guys won't have enough familiarity with each other to execute.

    It has been a few years since I've been behind the bench as an assistant but I'm always happy to share my philosophies.

    I was all set to test out a couple tapered blades until I got to the $38 for standard shipping.

    An 11 year old shouldn't be put on an intense workout program.

    Strange, I just looked at the site and saw the Reign LT, Supernatural, and Nasty shafts listed.

    Many of the so-called elite teams are just money grabs for the people running them and a pain in the ass for the parents shuffling their kids all over lord knows where.

    I think the balance would be rather similar between short track speed skating and hockey.

    I would expect Bauer customs in Europe would follow the same process as those in North America.

    It really picked up steam this time around. Your participation trophy is in the mail.

    Nook and cranny, now I'm craving a Thomas' english muffin.

    My recommendation, call again and get it escalated. If they continue to refuse then go thru their appeals and grievances process. It might be a pain but it could get the result you're looking for. You can probably even get the doctor to advocate for you.

    I think you'd be surprised at how little "custom" there is in many pros custom skates.

    That is exactly what the second sentence you quoted recommends.

    From what I've read this whole cryptocurrency thing looks like nothing more than smoke and mirrors to me. The only reason it goes up is because people believe it will and not because it is backed by anything tangible. I think it is just a matter of time before the cryptocurrencies have their Black Tuesday.

    I think the answer is it is still individual, otherwise every NHLer except the "heel to toe" guys (who are very few and far between) would all be in the same skate.

    Chase looks like he just farted in an elevator and nobody has noticed yet.

    The Race to Outrage always has plenty of participants.

    And because shops have inventories of the other brands, they can potentially intercept a bad skate before a customer purchase. I'm sure there are those cases where an employee opens a box for someone to try on only to have that employee or the customer notice something off about the skate. The solution there can be to simply grab another pair of that skate out of the backroom. Obviously, that option isn't available with a custom skate. Early on I was a critic of the VH skate as there seemed to be a significant number of issues cropping up but as time has gone on there seem to be less and less issues. To the outside observer it would appear that they have listened and made great strides in initial quality.

    Considering how much time elapsed between the skates coming out of the oven and finally getting them on and tied, it is no wonder that the fit doesn't feel right yet.
