    I was there about 11. it was me and one other guy in line when they said, "you can go ahead and let the pre-sale people in!" which turned out to be us. we had the run of the place for about 15 minutes. :) I did see that one Franchise. wish it had a mate. I thought that I had matched a pair of Boulton's Easton gloves until I realized one had yellow accents on the 4 rolls and the other didn't. :( one woman had Bryan Little's gloves but the palms were shredded so I passed.

    my haul from the Thrashers' final Atlanta sale: top row: Warrior bag (Ron Hainsey) 2nd row: Messier M11 helmet 3rd row l to r: navy practice jersey, Rebellion gloves (no name), CCM Vector helmet (white), Easton pants (Jim Slater) 4th row: Mission gloves (Brad Larsen), CCM Vector helmet (navy, decals and numbers), CCM Vector helmet (navy, no decals) bottom row: practice socks, 3rd jersey socks, workout shorts. prices were decent but not as great as last Fall. glove selection was disappointing. they had one box of single gloves that had a Warrior Creeper. it KILLED me that there was no mate to it. :( my teammate got the best item of the sale though for $5. a very special nameplate:

    13. I find it hard to believe that the Sedins hands are that small. The Luxes have had a few owners. Great gloves though.

    if I had his source I wouldn't give it up either!

    I already have a Wissota that I've had long before the X01 came out. my Wissota does a fine job. no complaints whatsoever. if I was looking for a new one I'd probably give the Blackstones a serious look but as a beer league player I don't think I'm going to see enough upside to justify trashing a perfectly good machine and spending almost $1,000 on a new one. if it was a few hundered bucks I'd consider it. pretty cool though that you can buy the stand alone dresser if you need it though.
  8. shoeshine boy
    gotcha. but $2K? certainly not for us home sharpeners. oh well...... :(
  9. shoeshine boy
    I may have found the answer myself on Blackstone's website but the conversion kit cost almost $2K?
  10. shoeshine boy
    very interesting. is it possible to convert a Wissota or no?
  11. shoeshine boy
    I have a teammate who claims one of the local shops is doing FBV but not with a Blackstone machine. for some reason I thought FBV was a Blackstone specific thing so my question is this: can you do FBV on other machines?
  12. shoeshine boy
    I like'em. :) even though the fingers are one piece they're still pretty mobile. did you repalm them with the digital or did you receive them that way?

    2 recent pickups: Nagy's Eagle X72 Bauer X:60 Team Canada edition
  14. shoeshine boy
    funny you should mention those.....I bought'em off him!
  15. shoeshine boy
    no kidding! I was just going to post that he need to start sharing with the rest of us but then he put up several pairs for sale at reasonable prices. :)
  16. shoeshine boy
    I agree with you BUT I can also understand wanting to have a top tier boot to play in as well.
  17. shoeshine boy
    if you want options that aren't on PSHG's website I don't recommend using them. I'm not sure if it's an issue on their end or the fact that they deal with Warrior Canada rather than Warrior USA but the last time I got custom Franchises through them I asked for a Hossa cuff. admittedly this was before they offered it on their website but they told me they'd "request it but couldn't guarantee it". this was at a time when folks going through other retailers who used Warrior USA were getting special things up the yin-yang. I didn't hear anything from them at all but when the gloves showed up it was just the standard blooming cuff. it wasn't a deal breaker for me and trying to get anything out of PSHG seemed to be more trouble than it was worth so I just dropped it. PSHG lost my custom business because of this. I've got another pair being made by Warrior right now but this time I went through Ice Warehouse and with help from Joe at Warrior USA (hopefully) I'll be getting everything I wanted on this pair.

    I agree. REALLY hope my newest custom Franchises come back with this font.
  19. shoeshine boy
    I give more credit to the sticks than gloves for hot streaks but I do feel better about new gloves once I've scored in them.
  20. shoeshine boy
    I try to use all of my gloves. I play on 3 teams total. on my main team I stick with the pair that matches our jerseys but on the other 2 teams where no one gives a crap if you're "uniform" I wear different gloves every week. we have 12 game seasons on one team so I can go 2 seasons without wearing the same pair twice. :)
  21. shoeshine boy
    not so far. the Goat is a little grippier but it doesn't seem to be a problem. it's my understanding that these were "demo" gloves which would explain the different palms.
  22. shoeshine boy
    Custom Franchises bought off of Ebay: 2 different palms on these gloves. right palm is Mustang, left palm is Kangaroo Goat.
  23. shoeshine boy
    I think those are from the Junior Thrashers. nice gloves though! :)
  24. shoeshine boy
    they may be minor league or perhaps a junior program but they're not from the Dallas Stars. still cool gloves though. :)
  25. shoeshine boy
    officially neither (juniors are just juniors) but I find them to be much tighter on my hand than the 13 narrows and the cuff to be much, MUCH shorter. compared to the 13 narrows the 12's almost seem like toys. nice avatar, btw. hope a miracle happens and we somehow get to keep them. :)
