Tuff n Lite socks are very thin in the actual foot part of the sock, they beef up a little bit in the ankle when the cut-resistant material begins. I've been using a pair for many years and they've held up well

Like Flip said, really hard to beat the price for even the stock specs. A Third Line stick, after shipping to EU, is cheaper than buying a mid-level stick here in CZ; where its probably only going to be a P92 if you use intermediate flex. Combine that with being able to get Laine, MacKinnon and Ovi curves in 55 flex at that price... It's really a no-brainer. I prefer mid-kick, square shaft, but the honestly the way the Third Lines come (low kick, rounded corners) in Int, is fine considering the build quality/price/curve options

The Easton Pro 10/Pro 15 pants had a spine protector that would move with you when you leaned forward. Like Marka said, they're heavy but very protective. From what I recall the weight difference wasn't that vast between those and the 9K

Recently retired player Stephen Johns asked for lace-bite remedies on twitter today (amidst his inline skate trek across America) and it's interesting to see the many recommendations, especially from some pros

I really appreciate the support, guys. The amount of friends, memories and knowledge that I have from MSH is unreal. Much love and respect

+1 Forward blade profile with some Stable 26 socks could help

Definitely classic Slavic and Scandinavian visages respectively

P30 is more readily available than the P46, which seems to be on the way out.

A few years ago some of the bigger online retailers in the States were carrying the CCM one, I bought one in 2016 for $25 as a backup for the older Reebok one that I use... I guess that like the Jofa designs that were basically the same at retail and pro-stock, that these don't do well at retail. Which is a shame because as many have stated above, it's a very simple, comfortable and protective piece of gear

I met Benn during his rookie season in Dallas after a practice; and being a gear nerd, asked him what curve he uses. In a very enthusiastic, Spicoli-ish manner he replied "Sakic!" I think it was his sophomore season that the hook started to show up

Would definitely purchase either a Jagr pro or a Benn pro. Would be awesome to have a toe curve with a square-ish toe available (besides the P10)

I'd also love to see some photos of the TC1, I've had a hard time coming across images of it from the time the A series came out

Cannot wait to pick up an A6.0 tapered blade in the tc4 pattern

Flip12 and myself in Copenhagen (he's the tall one). I've had the pleasure of meeting JR and playing alongside IniNew for a few years but this is my first transcontinental MSH hang :))

Is it just me or do the 180 skates look much deeper than the 170s? I'm in a pair of One100s right now that fit great aside from a little lack of depth... I've been wanting to move to a skate that is not as stiff and had been thinking of moving to the one.7 although with the 170s already having the edge holder I'm giving these heavy consideration. I suppose the best thing is to wait, but I wear a size that most stores don't stock and would have to special order any way... does anyone have any insight into the depth of some of the mid/lower models of the Supreme line?
