    Those EQ Pro shins look really nice. They look similar to my older Synergy 800's, which I love a lot.

    Sweet gloves. Does Eagle upcharge for things like the shortened cuff and mesh gussets?
  3. HattrickSwayze
    Castle Ice?? The rink and the guy in the maroon helmet look familiar.

    Damn those are beautiful. I don't think you can beat gloves in the TB color scheme. Where did you get those and did they have more?

    New sticks finally got here today. Delays at the factory pushed the shipping time back, so Friday would've been 3 weeks from the day I ordered. I ordered 75 flex, clear finish, and sandpaper blade with the BC01 curve. The curve is sick. I'm posting a picture of the profile of the blade for those that are wondering what it looks like. I laid my Easton ST on top of it, and the lie and general blade shape are nearly identical to my Sakic curve. The shape differs towards the toe because the BC01 is a little shorter and has a narrower toe as you can see. The sandpaper finish is just like Easton's Z-Tac, but I'd say Base's is a little coarser. It feels really good. The stick feels light and well balanced. I have a Dolomite 75 flex shaft with a Vapor XXXX Naslund blade in it, and my Base stick feels pretty similar to it. Compared to my '10 Easton ST, I'd say the Base stick is a little lighter and a little better balanced. Shaft shape is similar to my Dolomite, but a little thicker in the hands. I'd love to get one of the new EQ50 plugs to put in it and try, but I can't find any. Luckily I have a skate in less than two hours, so I get to tape them up and try them out tonight.

    I tried on the EQ50's the other day too. Really nice feeling gloves, I just don't like the look of the flex cuff portion of the glove. They'd look much better with a traditional style cuff.

    Yeah that is a great idea. I never even thought about using a dehumidifer. I might have to clear some space out in my closet and give that a shot. How big/how much was the one you bought?

    New gloves I got from Rangers1234 a week or two ago. Pro stock Tampa L7's, with regular nash on the left palm and digital on the right. Pretty cool combo for a righty like me. Incredibly comfortable, they don't need to be broken in at all.

    New skates I picked up the other day. I couldn't get over how good they looked, so I went to try them on and walked out with them. Honestly, the 7K's felt stiffer to me than the 11K's, which is really weird. I tried both on, and apart from a slight weight difference, the 7K's felt pretty much the same. I can't wait to try them in a few days. Hopefully they feel as good as they look.

    I'm kinda skeptical until I see one in person. The profile picture in the catalogue doesn't look like a true toe curve to me. Hopefully I'm wrong.
  11. HattrickSwayze
    Kinda dissapointed it won't be available in a tapered blade. I saw the curve on an X60 LE stick today, and it's pretty beautiful. Definitely want to try one at some point.
  12. HattrickSwayze
    Hmm those are awfully nice gloves. Is California Tan a custom-only option or can they be had at retail?
  13. HattrickSwayze
    Honestly those look like they'd be way bigger than a set of RBK's. How do they compare to something like the Easton ST line?
  14. HattrickSwayze
    Where'd you score the Cooper shoulders at Charlie? I've missed out on a couple sets of those on eBay.

    The Penguins announcers are always like that. I'm not just being biased because I don't like the Penguins, but they are the worst announcers I've ever heard. Total homers, and that one guy saying "Steggy" all the time makes me want to rip my ears off. When the Penguins home broadcast is the only one I can get on center ice, I leave it on mute.
  16. HattrickSwayze
    Interesting, how much did those set you back? I just took a look at the web site, looks pretty cool.
  17. HattrickSwayze
    Wow those Eagle's are ridiculous. I wonder how long before they start turning up in shops and online? Pretty sure I need a pair of those. The Graf's with the black TUUK's are very nice too.
  18. HattrickSwayze
    And the fingers and toes of every single Penguins fan just got crossed hoping it's Ovechkin on roids.

    A guy brought a Mueller stick to a game the other day and it looked a lot like that one Mack. I was going to try it but he'd cut it down to an ungodly short length, so no dice. Maybe he's been switching up a bunch lately to try and break out of his slump. Looks like it's helped... or maybe it's the new team.

    I wish I got tax returns. I have to pay taxes instead, which sucks ass this time of year. I finally got myself signed back up for school. I've gotten tired of sitting around and not having a real career, which I'm glad I'm feeling now and not at 45 when I'm a sad old fucker. Wish I would've just stuck with it a few years ago, because I'd be done by now, but I couldn't be bothered to go at the time. Part of me is excited to go back, and the other part is really nervous.

    I find it most useful to watch it and critique my skating. It really helps to see things you're doing wrong that you can't notice on your own, so long as you can survive the painful ego crushing.
  22. HattrickSwayze
    Trust me, I know this all too well. It's fun to watch yourself get better on tape, and it's satisfying to see things finally come together, but god damn there are times when you see yourself and just want to throw up. I'm always hesitant to watch any video I might have of a game, especially if I felt I skated well, because my confidence and belief that I'm awesome goes right down the shitter. It feels so much faster on ice!
  23. HattrickSwayze
    That's what's weird about watching it on TV. You see it and the game's look so slow. But I've played against a chick that was on the women's Olympic team and she's awesome. She makes just about everybody look stupid when she plays at a local pick-up. I think it just goes to show, after watching the men's teams, how NHL players are on a whole other inhuman level than everybody else.
  24. HattrickSwayze
    I might have already asked this, but is it possible to get just the laces that the X60 LE skates had?? Those would look sweet on my One75's.
  25. HattrickSwayze
    Awesome game. Exactly as marketed, I'm sure NBC will be trying to do Caps-Pens every week now. Knuble's been a great pick-up for the Caps. Him and Laich are so good in front of the net... although I was secretly hoping that Ovechkin would've had his 4th.
