Ranger-#8

Have you guys noticed low inventory right now? Driving up to Minneapolis this week and struggling to find a shop with size 7 or 7.5 TF9s for me to try on.

I've been hooked on the 2 piece style pants for a while right now I'm in a bauer s190 pant. I was wondering what models out right now have that internal girdle style system but the heavy thigh pads are part of the shell? I attached a video showing the pant to show what I mean. Any input would be great managed to loose some weight so the old pants are falling off now, and living in a smaller town going to a big shop isn't so simple. Video showing the s190

In Rochester but really willing to drive into the city or surrounding area if they are worth it.

just moved up to Minnesota...any recommendations for a shop that can give a proper fitting on trues?

Hey tried to PM you and said you can't receive them...shoot me a message interested in a couple thing.

Def a fan of a deal but getting to the point where frustration of skates detracting from the fun of playing. Just want to bite the bullet and get the right pair.

Is the price for a True custom that much more than a FT1 $900 range?

The Hockey Monkey shop near me on True's site is listed as a coming soon fitting center shot them an email on times; probably hold off to at least check them out...Though the JetSpeed 90 day trial seems pretty great can really try them out and see if they are the right option.

Yeah I def would struggled going to a skate with less volume than my supreme EE...Sounds like the Jetspeed is def worth a shot from your guys input; Also any word on True/VH's new skate?

I've been in Bauer Supremes since the 8090 and haven't had any complaints. Though the past year I've skated in a pair of Supreme 190 skates size 7.5EE and they have just never settled in right. My heel and ankle feel like they are never secure but the forefoot/ball of my foot fit perfect. I've baked them 3 times at this point and think its just they are not the right fit. Think this week I'll buy into the current generation of skate and see if I can find the perfect fit. Any advice on a skate with similar forefoot width but a narrow heel would be appreciated; I guess also recommend needed adjustments for pitch and radius to make them feel along the lines of a supreme the somewhat neutral pitch and 9' radius is what I assume I am after. Thanks in advance for your guys' input!

New CCM Parise curve that Bjugstad helped with looks similar to the old Kovalchuk pro stock curves when the CCM Rep brought them to my local shop last week.

When you guys switched did you rebake your skates with the plates or just do the baking of the plates? Have a set coming in the mail next week and making the switch from SF yellow to SP.

Cant wait for a shop in DFW or St Louis to get the FBV sharpening. This stuff sounds like something I gotta try.

Large jersey and pants

Yea we just got them last month...not really my job first year on the team, but I might shoot them an email over break. Not a big deal just a pain having to change my routine of 15 years now haha
