JR Boucicaut

Send mckjim a message - not sure if he sharpens for the general population but he's in the AA area I believe.

LOL a while back we discussed doing a Team MSH...

Warrior 4, so lie 5. :P

Started a review on the Projekt glove - http://www.modsquadhockey.com/forums/index.php?/topic/53950-warrior-projekt-glove/

Remember that a lot of LHSs offer a "house cut" and will charge you if you want something different as you're taking off more from the wheel. Best thing to do is for the skater to ask to get something, write it down then go from there. The wheel height is low on an X01/X02. A standard holder won't work on them.

And put Sebastian Shaw back in the pyre scene at the end of ROTJ. THEN all is forgiven.

Haha I dunno about all that...

I understand but my problem goes past that - the injury happened w no contact - I stepped on a stick that was on the ice.

I already play in a non-contact league.

Hanging up the skates. Ever since I had my shoulder injury, I've been playing scared - scared of getting hurt again. Whenever I get the puck I worry about contact, whenever someone skates towards me I'm trying to get rid of the puck so that they don't come close to me. Tried wearing shoulder pads, didn't help. So after my last shift in my game last night I knew I had to walk away. I'll still skate by myself as physically I don't hurt, but I won't play in an organized setting indefinitely.

Sad - I had heard they had a fundraiser for him last month. Had brain cancer.

Longer edges wear down faster/have the ability to get bruised easier. I used to sharpen my skates every time I skated with ROH - I have my own machine and I sharpen less frequently now.

Tired of getting rejected for jobs. I really think it is time for me to give up on hockey altogether. 10 years in the industry and it has taken me absolutely nowhere.

Thanks - been needing a DP pic to put on our banner. It's only fitting we honor him.

The black elastic band on top of the cuff roll is the mouthguard holder.

Think that would be better suited for Show It Off, not Custom Glove Gallery.

But it is implying bite. Why make a complicated shape for someone to have the same feeling they had before? Like I've told everyone who has tried FBV - you will have something that will remain constant, and you will gain something you didn't have before. So, for some people (not many), you match the glide. But now, they have gained bite. For most people, you match the bite, but they have gained glide.

While it may feel like 1/2", the difference is it doesn't perform like 1/2".

Follow the sparks. If you're only doing your skates, obviously sharpening immediately will get it dead on from the last one, or at least very close to it. Coming from another skate, especially one that is uneven, just sharpen and the wheel will always hit the uneven edge first because it is a higher point. Unfortunately, when you do witness marks, what happens is you look at it and you're like "Well, it's not centered, because it hit all the way on the bottom (or top)." Then you adjust, and when you are done, you're left with the opposite result. I've always said witness marks are only good if you did the previous sharpening. You know the hollow, you know how tight the clamp was, you know the position in the skate holder. So, sharpen away, and follow the sparks on the wheel. It will give you a good indication on levelness.

Yankees' death trifecta is complete - Ralph Houk died. Played for the Yanks, and managed/GMd in the 60s.

Lost my job.

He signed a 2 yr deal with St. Louis, $1.8M and $2.5M for the second year.

I mark my top knob with a notch to denote thickness. With the RR I turn the knob counterclockwise 3/4 turn, then clamp the blade. After that if I am not mistaken it is possibly 12 clicks (as it is 6 clicks to get it to move up a line)
