    LOL... "They have the Golden Arches, I have the Golden Arch." :) No..."They have the Golden Arches, we have the Golden Arcs"

    Unbelieveable skates, can they be mine? Sure. Call your Graf dealer and ask them to order you a pair of 501's in your size. Leetch wants his boots back. Second guess is Gretzky, after he ran out of Daousts around 96. Leetch is correct, Sir. Ha, nice... The second guess I threw in there just because, not like I ever saw Gretz in Graf but I knew he was experimenting with boots after he ran out of Daousts.

    Drew only has one hand. You didn't know that? Quit quoting pictures.

    You have problems, my friend.

    Judging that 75% of pro Bauer skaters are in a 2, I'd say yes.

    I hope that I get the small embroidery on mine. Luckily I went with my nickname instead of my full name.

    Yeah, he used my own smiley against me...LOL
  9. JR Boucicaut
    Well, I guess it is!

    JR, Sometimes I get the impression that you know everything months in advance of the general hockey public. oh wait, you do :P Sorry, but I can't lay claim to that one. Reason why that logo is bigger in the NHL is for tv exposure.
  11. JR Boucicaut
    Ha, funny...
  12. JR Boucicaut
    Yeah, you don't say...

    My dad's pretty handy with wood and I was telling him that I wanted to make a dust collector of some sort. I drew up something and he completely ignored it and made this LOL - It's actually pretty cool - it snaps into the base and I can move it in and out depending on the size of the skate. Whenever I'm done sharpening I just stick the vac hose in there and clean it all up.
  14. JR Boucicaut
    Yes. The new FL4.0 is equivalent to the FL18. The FL4.0 Pro (Europe only, but available custom (although someone on here said it would be retail orderable in NA) is pro level, and not an significant upgrade from the FL12.
  15. JR Boucicaut
    I'd say that goes for any Florida team, too many transplants.

    "I'm a hockey player/USA Hockey member, do I get a discount?" That's the worst one, and that's when I retort with the "I like to eat but I don't get a discount at (local supermarket/McDonalds)
  17. JR Boucicaut
    Completely agree, asking for discounts in a retail situation, especially now is very... absurd. Now, if a discount is offered I'd never turn it down; like the manager of my LHS a few weeks ago forgot to ring up a couple rolls of tape, and just threw them in the bag for free, it's not like I am going to ask for free tape every time I walk in now. Same with DS - I've never asked for a discount in a retail store. When I'm looking to buy something, I know how much I'm going to pay. Not to mention my bargaining skills suck anyway.
  18. JR Boucicaut
    Not at retail
  19. JR Boucicaut
    THere weren't any FL12s last year. The FL18 was the top model, which was equivalent to the FL10 two years ago.

    Then again you work for a giant in the industry - plus you already had Stealths before FBV. All of these smaller stores who have either a) invested in retrofitting their machines or B) bought an X02/F-02 Spinner portable have to recover their initial investments. They need to make a distinction between FBV and a normal hollow sharpening. Not only that, it's a premium sharpening.
  21. JR Boucicaut
    All the guys I know are charging more. You have to. It cheapens the concept if not.

    If he's using "points" then he has worked in sales. In the world of finance/banking; 1 basis point (aka: point) is 1/100th of 1% 10 points = 0.1 % 100 points = 1% 1000 points = 10% So I say give him his 10 points off...5 cents off a pair of One95s seems fair. Haha, in retail/sales, it's profit margin.
  23. JR Boucicaut
    Please refrain from using "duller" and "sharper" when talking about hollows. There's no relation. Deeper and shallower, longer and shorter. You can have a 1" hollow that is sharper than a 5/16." I mean, I'm a 1 and done sharpening guy - since I've always had access to a machine, but I'm going on my 4th skate with FBV and no problems with the 90/75 whatsoever.
  24. JR Boucicaut
    Haha oh poor TBL - Spree and I were clowning on him through text.
