    scored my first "walk off" goal ever Friday night. last game of the season, tied at the end of regulation between the 2 top teams in our league (no playoffs in this league) that were tied for first place. chosen as the 4th player in the shootout. the first 2 for each team missed. the other team's 3rd shooter missed as well. our 3rd shooter buried it and then their 4th shooter couldn't score. I pulled out a forehand backhand move I've been working on and heard my team cheering before I even realized I had scored. all of this on the 1 year anniversary of my dad's passing. I think he would've been proud. it was a great feeling.

    perhaps. we've both been skating in MLX for several years though so ugly doesn't matter to us as much as comfort and performance.
  3. shoeshine boy
    wow. I guess my gf has a "limited edition" rare model. :)
  4. shoeshine boy
    that's a good thing. not all of us have a local shop that does this.

    the verdict is in on my gf's new VH skates. she loves them! she's got 2 games in them so far. she feels like her heel is locked in better than ever. she does feel like she's "up higher" than before and we compared the Step Steel to the brand-new pair of MLX she skated in the previous 4 or 5 games and there is a significant amount of difference in steel height but she'll adjust quickly.

    picked them up from being profiled today. it'll probably be Friday before we can get them on the ice.
  7. shoeshine boy
    mucho thanks!
  8. shoeshine boy
    we'll find out once they are profiled.... question for other VH owners: anybody know why there are 2 footbeds? my gf will likely replace them with Superfeet but we were just wondering.
  9. shoeshine boy
    ahhhh.....the very elusive Lidstrom curve. my favorite but for some reason not too many other peoples. :(

    excellent pictures. I've been trying to figure out for weeks if this was an "open" girdle like the TO. how much "give" is in the step in part?could you easily cut it out to make it more like the fully open girdles?

    for those of you that missed it in the Show It Off thread, my gf's new VH skates. we both currently skate in MLX. turn around was about 2 weeks. the "new" tendon guard with True branding:
  12. shoeshine boy
    we'll find out soon. super busy this week. might get to bake them tonight but it'll be the weekend before we can get them profiled.
  13. shoeshine boy
    I guess I should've showed that part but yes, it's a two piece junction.
  14. shoeshine boy
  15. shoeshine boy
    nope, that is (I assume) the new tendon guard. the back of it says True. my gf's not crazy about the blue. I told her that we can always color it in with a black paint sharpie.

    new VH skates for my girlfriend. many thanks to JR for helping us do the drawings and measurements when we were in Detroit back in April. :)

    one more pick up that I was waiting for my Pens to eliminate the Caps to post:

    a few of my more recent pick ups: broke my "no Reebok stuff" rule for this one:

    I have no recollection of an email but it's possible it ended up in the spam.
  20. shoeshine boy
    I did. I was a Kickstarter backer AND got the X ring as soon as it was available.
  21. shoeshine boy
    interesting that you say that because I didn't get one..... :(
  22. shoeshine boy
    I love finding the college gear!
  23. shoeshine boy
    I usually start with 4 and just keep going as necessary......
  24. shoeshine boy
    should those of us that have one be concerned about using it?
  25. shoeshine boy
    a few things I've added the last few months....... always wanted some yellow outline Bruins Franchise: right middle, finally added a 4th to my Kovy collection: 1998 Team USA Olympics pants. planning to convert these into a shell.....
