  1. Probably as many now, if not a couple more players than previously wore an Easton skate. The only surprize to me is that Dustin Byfuglien recently switched out of them seeing he was a Dave Cruicshank pupil and former MLX user.
  2. Awesome news...hope the recovery goes well.
  3. Good luck. Hope all works out for your Mom, Dad, and you.
  4. The MLK appeared crude/unfinished in some aspects. The Mako looks more refined/finished. Early reports (granted some may based on new buyer euphoria) are favorable. Let's see what the concensus is down the line.
  5. No excuses. Like Chippa said, find a way to make it work. This situation is much different than the previous hip one.
  6. Your best bet is to try them on. I have heard of a couple of guys who went up 1/2 size.
  7. Sounds like Easton wasn't really ready to launch the skate on the 15th, with some stores allocated only a single pair per size and some nothing smaller than a 7-1/2. Let's see how long it takes for additonal sizes and widths to make it into the stores.
  8. Any comment on first day sales from shop guys seeing how much Easton was pushing the skate release on Twitter and Facebook?
  9. That's good to know since the CCM Foot Disc showed that I had one high and one low arch.
  10. There also a way to skate, buy sticks, and a new ride Uploaded with ImageShack.us
  11. If you took the number of players actually wearing the skate that statistic might wind up being insignificant. Looked like Dustin was skating on Blackedge runners, so it might just be that he doesn't want to change to different steel. I currently skate on Nitinol runners which I am extremely happy with, so in my case I would be more inclined to to go with the LS2 holder with a heel lift and not the CXN holder.
  12. That's why I was thinking his stick was a fluke. Don't get me wrong, I was pleased with the puck feel and performance and didn't notice that any of the sticks at WF were blade heavy. I still prefer the RS, but that's my preference.
  13. Got to try one of teammates Mako 2 last night (85 flex Hall curve). Supposedly Easton lightened up the blade on the Mako 2, but this stick seemed awfully blade heavy to me. Anomaly, or are others experiencing the same?
  14. Got to demo the AX1 at WF and was very impressed with the way the stick loaded and released as well as puck feel. And this coming from someone who previously was not a Warrior Stick fan. Really like the protective line, especially the strapping system on the shins. Can see myself purchasing the shoulders, elbows, and shins when they come out. Also glad to hear that the DT1 construction is now live on the customizer. I can live with not having Covert graphics so long as I can can get the DT1 specs on the Zetterberg Pro.
  15. Looking forward to the new protective equipment. Never been a big fan of Easton gloves, but I actually like the look/concept of the Mako glove.
  16. An interesting read. I am also curious as to what is meant by "limited release". My all time favorite Easton skate was the S15 (best 6-month skate ever). I will say that the changes to the tendon guard and tongue on the NXG have resulted in signaficant performance gains (for me anyways).
  17. While the matte black is different you just can't beat a traditional black paint finish that has been detailed. Now you just need a set of lowering springs to fix that ugly wheel gap. That's the consistent problem with all these new AWD luxury vehicles.
  18. Junkyardathletic Socks
  19. The underside of the Kovalchuk cuff is more flexible than the Hossa, but the upper side of the cuff is more rigid to me. Can't comment on how the Kovalchuk and Hossa compare to the Savard cuff.
  20. If you have an LHS that carries the Luxe glove try that on as it has the Kovalchuck cuff on that model. It really comes down to what you like. I have a pair with the Kovy cuff and a pair with the Hossa cuff. While I think they both offer better mobility than the standard cuff, I like the Hossa a little more than the Kovalchuk.
  21. Just Picked up 6 of these: Easton RS Styles curve 85 flex non grip Was disapointed with my Thailand made Tackla 5000's, so giving these a shot
  22. My latest Warriors 14" Narrow Franchise Black Tufftek Hossa Cuff Number/Name in black Mustang Palms White on white cuff lettering Black Thread Black 'W' on the thumb
