I don't have any new gear to show off, but I wanted to lament my recent loss.

Rest in peace, Mission Flyweight (Metamorphic handle, 10-7 flex). You will be dearly missed.

Thats the worst when you break something you broke in for so long.......I had a an old aluminum TPS gold like that *sniffle*

[Show It Off]

Got Nate Thompson too, looks like.

Of course I got Nate, he's the "ak buddy" :)

[Show It Off]

No new gear just yet, waiting for my MLX'S and some other stuff, but I caught my first live NHL game last friday, and my AK connection got me through to get Stamkos to ink this jersey. Then I had my buddy ink it to add to the AK pro hockey collection for my sons room (had Dubi and Gomez already):

[Show It Off]

Pretty sure those are the new Projekt gloves...

Yep. Projekts. Im not really too sure what the difference is between these and eraser pros, but they do feel more comfortable than last years 14" erasers. They are light, and the color scheme isnt too bad unlike last years model. Im more of a four roll guy, but like I said, Mansko's are probly next haha

[Show It Off]

Just scooped these up today. I just turned thirty, and Im a dad, and its like my desire for looks over comfort have begun to fade lol Next thing I know Ill be sporting a pair of Manskos haha

[Show It Off]

These are the ones I wish were mine, but they were given to a buddy of his for display purposes. Very comfy:

[Show It Off]

Almost bought a pair of his All-Star gloves but those damn single-piece fingers and that long-ass cuff. Ugh.

Yeah, I had a pair of his from the brief Mission run, and that cuff was brutal so I gassed them. But since he has small hands like I do, the glove fits well. On these, while the cuff is short, the extra backroll nullifies this, but they are surprisingly comfy. You are right, the one-piece fingers are annoying, but its all good, beggars cant be choosers lol. A friend of mine is roomates with a good buddy of SG and he gave him a pair of these warriors that he would have used if he had been selected for the Olympics. They are sick. They fit my hand perfect, and SG's buddy has man-slap hands so he will never wear them. I told him he should pass them to me lol

Ive had the lid for a while, but just got the CCM (Eagle) mitts:

Ice Warehouse says the EQ5 have a different fit from past Easton skates... What was the fit like for you? No LHS near here has them!

Also I remember reading in a MSH skate thread they would not be available for custom. But i could be misremembering too...

Yeah they are a different fit. I wear an 8 in most easton skates ( 7.25 in bauer, 7.5 in graf, 7 in ccm ) and in the eq5 im a 7.5. As far as custom goes, as long as I go get my ls2's bolted up to them, i can complain too much, although I am a white-felt tongue proponent:)

[Show It Off]

I think Im going to try out the Eq5's. I threw a pair on and they felt good. I just want to know how durable they will be. Also if possible I would like to get them custom for my hot-dog narrow feet. We will see.

[Show It Off]

I said it when I first saw these. Throw on some white laces and it'll look even better.

True story. I Would like to see these with white laces and white holders as well. However the shop where I get my gear through has decided not to carry them as the manager feels there may be an issue with the dye in the holders. I dont really care because those holders would be on ebay in a heartbeat. The shop I saw them at charges retail plus 20-25 percent, i.e. the place I shop at charges $799.99 for the Total ones, while they charge like $899.99. So I wont be abel to call a pair of these my own, but Im not loosing any sleep over it lol.

[Show It Off]

Nothing new Im sure, but I was at a local LHS and saw these:

I do Miss the old black on black, I just wish they sold the boot alone. Or with blue holders. One100's. Im pretty sure they only had one pair.

[Show It Off]

I acutally prefer them without the grey :)

+1

While I respect and like the custom eagle gloves, TSR really killed it with the bauers. I am quite pleased:)

Lindros wore them for sure......he's the reason I bugged my dad to buy me these:

At the Champions Choice warehouse sale up here, no joke there were at least 30 sets of these, donzis, and douglas'. Crazy.

[Show It Off]

I bought these for the summer session, for my whalers mens team.....

and before I got to use them I saw these and pulled the trigger. I had to:

Its a sickness.

[Show It Off]

My latest picks up from last week and the week before. 2010 Dolomite Spynes Non Grip, and a brand new pair of Easton GX 1350's.

Thats keeping it real. I loved those back in the day. Fortunately a local shop who is known for holding on to old things because they dont come down on their prices is having a warehouse sale next weekend, so Ill see what I can find:)

How is it even possible to double dunk.....

Im not sure. I just know that I CANT do it even on an 8 foot rim lol

[Photos of yourself]

Gotta love thos guys!

True story. There was this one guy who you would swear was homeless when he got on the ice, but he was like the Earl Manigault ( wikipedia this guy if you dont know who he was, basically the best basketball player never to play pro ) of mens lague hockey. The guy had these ripped up cooperalls and helmet that was missing almost every screw, a jofa titan stick, and old old old ccm tacks, but he was sick. I mean, I threw up on myself.

[Photos of yourself]

I always rock that style, and those same elbow pads! They're most comfy ive ever had for sure. (only ever owned 2 pairs though...)

Those elbow pads are the best ever. That guy with the old-school gear is actually "old-school" good. You know those guys who show up and you are like "really, seriously?", then they dangle everybody lol

How are you liking the R6? is that in reg or stiff flex?

Its actually a whip flex. I like my wrist shot and snapper with it, but its way too flexy for slappers. I play on an adult mens team and a coed team and I mainly use it for coed cause there's no slappers allowed. If it was a regular flex, I think it would be more versatile for me. Since Im short, so if i get a stiff flex its too stiff and a regular is usually decent, but the stick was only $99 and they had 1 left. Beggars cant be choosers lol. But overall, its a pretty decent stick for the price.
