Nah

Did I say to call Easton? I would've told you to call the store where you bought it from...

Just don't bitch when you try to warranty them and you're denied. Going the store route is much safer.

Very nice! Paint it black!

I had to teach that to someone yesterday.

Yes, I did. The conversation was way past speculation at that point, complete with a press release. You quoted yourself to bring up the fact that you guessed correctly. I'm moving on here.

Don't pat yourself on the back TOO hard; nobody called you an idiot. At the time, I was told these were one-offs.

Before considered for a LTR, you have to volunteer your services for regular, user-submitted reviews first. :)

Scott emailed me yesterday morning with some info. Do note the skate is an earlier revision and isn't complete yet.

What would it have going for it? It'd be a Me2 product.

The consensus is that they are one-offs; remember that before it was MLX, it was DASC, which stood for the 4 guys' first initials. Scott was the bootmaker, as he made speed skates. That is why they look like the MLX boot; the whole crew didn't go to Easton. You guys can stop speculating now.

Not I. Never had a problem with them, and you can put a mean edge on them.

You guys are funny.

:) Harv has an AP photo account, which, if you guys aren't aware of, is expensive, as he has access to the RAW images and ultra-high-res pics from the photographer. I'm all about him protecting his investment, as I know how that goes.

What they are, is NOT an Easton skate. That is confirmed. As for what it actually is, that hasn't been confirmed.

Called up my old teammate when I was a teen to tell him I was moving to MI, and we started to talk. He told me he was getting a motorcycle because "his mother didn't have to worry anymore." And I was like "Why won't she worry now?" Turned out she died in February. I knew she was sick (lung cancer) but didn't know she actually passed. He announced it on Facebook. And what's even worse is that the next day he posted some old pics on Facebook and I commented about how hot she was.

Holy hell, I'm so rattled...I can't believe I actually typed that. I meant to type center line. There's so much going on right now with me concerning the move I obviously can't think straight. I was going to say that they should add a wear indicator.

New Step Logo and center line indicator line.

I'll do you one better. Cover shipping and I'll sharpen the hollow of your choice for free. Then you can decide whether or not you'd like FBV.

Bauer APX Pro Size: 14" Time used: Since Sept 2012 Fit: The APX Pro is Bauer's tapered glove in their lineup; while it is more form-fitting than most gloves, it's not a close-to-the-hand fit; there is room in the glove for your hands to move some. I actually prefer this fit foremost. I didn't have any finger tightness or anything of the sort. 10/10 Weight & Mobility: It's a light glove; the internals of the glove is dual-density foam with poly inserts for additional protection, but on the basis alone that it's a tapered glove, there's simply less glove. As stated in the fit, there is still room in the glove for your hands to move. The cuff is a two piece construction with a notch in the middle, and the backhand pad is short and hinged, allowing it to flex freely. I'm pretty particular with my glove in the sense that my optimal preference would have a completely free top hand, however, I'd prefer the bottom hand cuff to be a bit closed. That is personal preference, and is noted. 9/10 Protection: This is where I think the glove has improved from the X:60; the glove does feel more protective in that aspect. It gets the job done compared to similar gloves on the market. However, if you want an absolute bulletproof glove, these aren't it. They are designated Pro for a reason; the regular APX is more robust in that department. 8.5/10 Durability: The outer of the glove is a combination of nylon and cable knit. Since September, no loose stitching and no rips. 10/10 Palm: Since September, no problems with the palm, which is a dual-layered palm. I used Tacki-Macs and Oggie grips with it, which do a better job than tape in that aspect. No loose stitching and no rips. I'd much prefer a single-layer palm, however, and feel it would be understood in the marketplace based on what kind of glove this is. 8.5/10 Ventilation: Not spectacular, but not horrible either. The ThermoMax liner helps keep the hands cool in that regard, however, it is not as if it is a "vented" glove. I never noticed that the glove was too hot or anything of the sort. 9/10 Aesthetics: Graphics are tasteful - my glove is primarily black with yellow ring/pinky finger stripes and yellow binding. The embroidery is a nice touch. 10/10 Overall: Very good glove if you are seeking a light and nimble pair. Thanks goes out to John Davidson, protective product manager at Bauer Hockey for providing me with these. 65/70 - 9.2/10

Why don't you just try it and convince yourself that way? I didn't read the study, either, nor has anyone else on it.

Steel should be same price. Holder goes up between $5-10 from LS2

I posted the A-Trap graphic in the downloads repository a couple of months back. However we're having issues with that at the moment. That discussion was here - http://www.modsquadhockey.com/forums/index.php/topic/62142-goalie-skate-sharpening-issue/

Exactly; all mfgrs do that with demo product.

They'll offer it til they run out of stock, but the 2.1 is essentially discontinued.
