    Or maybe teams are requesting for gloves better match as far as coloring designs work.

    They are updating one of the stick lines so that is probably why you are seeing the current offerings getting marked down.

    Judging by the stick release, I expect we'll see a CX lineup of new skate and gear as a holiday release.

    Not having money shouldn't be a reason for being isolated. It doesn't cost anything to have a buddy over to watch a game or movie or to just hang out and kill a night. Maybe catch some live music at a local coffee shop. You can have a night out for the price of a cup of joe and a scone. You could join a study group at school and/or find a support group to help deal with the depression or OCD. There are plenty of ways to be among people that won't cost anything.

    I always have a radius done on a new set of steel. Definitely not something I'd want to do myself.

    "These go to 11....."

    Oh, I agree that he definitely overreacted by going head high all night. I could see one or maybe two to get your attention but then it should have been over and done with.

    Not necessarily. They may feel that increasing the price in Canada would adversely impact demand. Essentially, they are taking a hit on Canadian sales while riding out the exchange variances.
  10. chippa13
    I guess you decided not to read the line of the VH post that stated all of their materials costs are in USD. Just because a company is based and has its operations in one country, that does not guarantee that all of their costs would be in that country's currency.
  11. chippa13
    You realize that you are complaining about how every company that does business on both sides of the border prices. You have to think of this as if they had 2 store fronts, one in the US and one in Canada. None of the other hockey companies fluctuate their prices to account for exchange rates. There is a reason that the major players put restrictions on sellers on either side of the border from making sales on the other.

    He probably viewed it as a reckless and perhaps even out of control action. These kind of things occur more often in the lower divisions of leagues.
  13. chippa13
    By charging Canadian buyers a fixed price in CAD, yes, that is what is happening. But it would be a tough business decison for them to increase their CAD prices because the incomes of Canadian buyers don't fluctuate with the exchange rate. If the CAD exchange drops then Canadian businesses don't increase what they pay employees to make up for it.
  14. chippa13
    So, if I am reading this correctly. The price for a US buyer would be $900 USD. Based on today's exchange rate that translates to $1,148 CAD. Even if you factor in $50 CAD of free shipping and handling for US consumers the company is still making an additonal almost $200 CAD on a pair sold to a US buyer versus a Canadian buyer. Since they seem to spend most of their materials dollars in USD, it makes sense to keep the US price steady because then you are matching revenue and expense dollars. With the exchange rates as they are, the company is essentially losing money on CAD sales revenues since they are paying out USD. This is the dilemma of Canadian based NHL teams and a big reason why the last iteration of the Winnipeg and Quebec NHL teams moved south of the border.

    It might not be a bad idea to let her see the doctor once on her own before returning as a couple. It might be a little easier for her to have the conversation and discuss those things without knowing you are looking at her with the "Where have I heard this before?" face. In all fairness, you did swing your stick like an axe. I'm surprised he didn't immediately give you one across the hands or somewhere on the legs.

    Well, a band is like a marriage and we all know how Marty does with that.

    Come on, you know you'd rather be the Whitey Bulger of sharpenings.

    I'm starting to think I'm not blocking them so much as I'm a target.

    No Icing uses an automated system and people are plenty happy with their results.

    It took me 2 google searches to even know what that vent was about. And now the NSA is probably tracking all of my internet activity.

    A member that I have unfortunately been a little too busy to connect with is a part of this.

    Since you ask, twice in the last 2 weeks I have had guys look at my 1 1/2 year old RS skates and ask if I got new skates.
  23. chippa13
    "bthompson1286 said: for someone who uses easton skates, you should shut up. are you a bender that needs to get back at someone. how old you are? looking at your picture, a washed up old man. Stop being a prick" Yeah, really looks like I'm the one who needs to grow up.
  24. chippa13
    Extreme optimism.
  25. chippa13
    I know I can't wait to spend $800 on skates I have to tape together.
