    I’ve had a few recently that are definitely 4” Comp plugs. If you cut off more than 4” you can see where the tenon is doubled in the shaft. A 1X Lite and a Vapor ADV. you can see where the fuse point is painted over and you can remover the tenon as well.

    4” fused composite plug i believe CCM, Warrior and True all offer legitimate length of shaft customization, but I’ve been out of the custom game for a while

    Int the middle half of the blade like that, I’d consider giving a few extra passes, and even running the honing stone along the edges before and after. if it had been towards the ends, I’d be less concerned.

    I did, once. Felt like I was wearing an egg carton on my head

    That makes a lot more sense, it looked like plastic inserts that could fall off
  6. Buzz_LightBeer
    Can’t believe that’s somehow not considered a safety hazard 🤷🏽‍♂️

    If there’s a difference, it isn’t much. kucherov and P28

    Never made any allusions that they weren't, I simply called them what they are
  10. Buzz_LightBeer
    There's a certain Instagram knockoff company who offers it as well

    Laine is more similar to P14 than P28

    What about plastic add on pieces, that are designed to cover the ear, that already exist, and nearly every player removes them from their helmets already?

    It seemed inevitable, but if it buys a few more years before jersey ads become a thing, it's not the hill i care to die on

    The early reports I saw on Twitter made some allusions to this, saying the hospital he was evaluated in wasn't capable of dealing with the injury, and he couldn't be stabilized enough for a transfer to more appropriate care. A freak accident and terrible tragedy.

    I didn't, i removed them, but i prefer a thin footbed and being right on top of the outsole and holder, and my foot has pretty high volume so negative space wasn't an issue
  16. Buzz_LightBeer
    I have flat feet, and used the cheap generic footbeds from Elite and really liked them. The right balance of volume and give. Elite Hockey, Ice Hockey Skate, Pro Insoles (Size Choice) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00VEEUGLE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_GFCV8ZGAEPVZ9QHWPGVR

    I get that, I think a message got lost in the exchange there. It seems implausible that True would refuse to send holders now if asked. It would seem more likely that True said he could get custom skates, or custom boots only, but the price remains the same. Aside from that, the retailer he's purchasing through should be handling all these issues for him.
  18. Buzz_LightBeer
    I have no motivation to defend True, but what are they doing so differently from Bauer and/or CCM? You are paying for a custom complete skate, the fact you don't like or want their holders means zero to them. None of those companies at the retail custom level will ship you boots only.
  19. Buzz_LightBeer
    Just playing devil's advocate here, but ask Bauer or CCM to install another companies holder, and I'm guessing you'll get the same answer. True has their own holder now. They're not going to stock Tuuk holders for Gen Pop custom orders
  20. Buzz_LightBeer
    I’d worry more about the ice or the boards, especially if the skill is low enough guys have trouble controlling themselves on skates. but Verbero still does the Ferrell style shirts and pads
  21. Buzz_LightBeer
    At that price, I’d definitely do those
  22. Buzz_LightBeer
    crosby using the PP77 Coffey in practice
  23. Buzz_LightBeer
    Jut thinking out loud, but wasn’t that a service they offered prior to having their own holder? I could see them offering to mount CCM, Bauer or Step holders previously but now that they have a holder/steel combo I can understand the restrictions.
  24. Buzz_LightBeer
    Quite nice. I tried an ADV Vapor and felt a little heft in the blade end that this doesn’t have. Haven’t gotten it on ice yet for a full go.
  25. Buzz_LightBeer
    Well, I thought I knew what light was...
