in person, the tc3 is a not a direct copy of the E28. it's pretty close but has a bit less rocker at the toe and more of a kink rather than a gradual curve. a bit like the old warrior smyth in how it curves.

rebound pops up at cross-bar height. take a decent-sized cut at it in midair as it dropped. make perfect contact with the shaft only to see the puck go straight off the post and out...

The mission S series was great. Only problem was that I wouldnever want to block a shot of them. Also tendon guard durability was suspect at best and the pitch hardware needed to be tightened once in a while
That being said, only time Ive ever bought 2 pairs of the same skate.

ran into mike babcock this morning. congratulated him on the olympics - must be the most difficult thing ever when anything less than a first place finish is a national disaster.

Scored bar-down on an NHL ice this morning. Too bad no one saw it outside of the guys on the ice and maybe 2 security guards...

^ I miss snow. I don't get much sympathy from people about the weather though, living in San Diego... lol
But I really do miss actual seasons.
Having lived in Norcal, OC and SD, I actually find the weather to be slightly nicer in Orange County, than in San Marcos. But we're just splitting hairs now...

AHL and ECHL teams playing day games for school "field trips" in an effort to bring young fans into the game!
cool idea for sure. would think that many schools would be interested in either doing something science or phys ed related. maybe something worth looking into....
NICE! Nothing like playing on NHL ice. We played at Staples a few weeks ago. Had a hard time paying attention to the game, just because I was too busy looking around in awe! The ice was like GLASS!
kind of shocking how much my legs and lungs burned considering I've been training 10-15 hours a week in the past 2 years in tennis. still sore the day after. scored five-hole coming down the wing but probably should have had 2-3 more considering the number of shots I had. lots of stuff to work on
but still, cant complain about lighting the lamp in an nhl building...

early morning (6:30AM) shinny at the Bell Centre today. obviously a fantastic experience. Ice was great. The lighting actually make the puck look like it's moving slower than it is, which took some adjusting. First time playing in full equipment in two years, so no problem keeping shifts short because I was constantly gassed...
we also got to wear Habs' practice jerseys

been working in pro hockey since the beginning of the season. first road trip on a team charter tomorrow (NYR on monday).
might be getting a chance to play some pickup games at the bell centre, so ordered some new gear and gonna work on my hands and skating a bit to shake the rust off.
Had the best game I've ever played tonight. Getting a goal in the first period was the least of it, too! I had at least 3-4 more chances, was skating well, no pain, not tired. Made some really good passes and didn't rush decisions when I got the puck.
Helps when you're playing in the right division skill-wise and you have team mates who actually pass you the puck.
I was seriously considering hanging em up after last season. It had stopped being fun. Now I'm having a blast, and on a team of guys I really like, who actually go do things together. We're playing on Staples Center ice in two weeks before a Kings game!my folks live out in san marcos and I head over there 1-2 times a year. next time I'm there we ll go shoot some puck or something
-
that's okay. in any locker room there's gotta be those leaders that can call out those who aren't giving their 100%. nothng wrong there

heres a few from this saturdays. big win for us.do you guys play against sanok? my buddy plays net for them (wojtek rocki)
hahah no we dont although with the new layout we might be playing them in a few months. but funny story wojtek actually started out in legia when he came to poland. then he moved up to sanok. heard hes pretty good
I shot for him at a few goalie camps last summer. I had no business being there in terms of playing caliber but I could still give him a pretty good workout at camps. Haven't had a chance to shoot on another goalie of that caliber, but his reflexes were sick. To warm up he stood at the goal line and he was still making 8 or 9 saves out of ten shots.

just played a game with the combo and its all good.

bought a mission intake fusion. who else here uses different size cages and bucket? i wear L sized helmets but had to go down to a M cage for it to fit correctly.

Best picture I've ever gotten!looks like you do catch a lot of ice on your shots
Yeah I do lol.
which probably answers why you break so many sticks. it might be a necessary evil if you're fine with the way you shoot, otherwise it'd be a good idea to work on not taking as much ice.

messing around with a couple of friends and a few peewee kids i coach a couple of hours before a game. If I knew I was being filmed I probably would have tried harder (im the big guy in white)

UpdateHelmet:RBK 6k w/ Oakley pro-straight smoked
Gloves: TPS R8 Lite pro-stocks
Elbow: OLD school jofa jr80's (I can't stand the huge arm/elbow pads now-a-days)
Shin: Supreme 50's
Pants: RBK 9k
Sticks: 2x RBK Sickick mid flex w/ Warrior Kovalchuk blades , TPS R8 lite whip Afinoginov x2
Skates: Easton 1500C w/ LS2's. These have basically totally fallen apart, 1/2 of the eyelets are gone, basically no toe-cap material left, textile material completely separating from the carbon boot. All the usual 1500c probs basically.
how do the sickick shaft and the R8 compare?
-
snapped my 3rd stick in 3 weeks (bye-bye 7V), so got a R8 whip shaft and some RP synthesis blades on the way
-
i have a prostock V130 with the "thick" blade and a 7v*. i like the 7v better - not a huge fan of the vector stickers, and the 7v is a bit more responsive imo

What exactly is the difference between the sk11 and retail draper/sakic/naslund? I just read through a bunch of sk11 threads i searched for but couldn't find the difference.maybe a bit more curve, but its more because CCM/RBK doesn't offer a sakic clone in retail
btw dangles, how are you finding the 7v's? i
