How did you paint it?

Ok I found one online. $69 US to ship... wow... Oh they are at sportcheck! Ordered. done... thank you

I'm getting old and I'm looking at going with a cage. I normally have a visor. I have no idea what to look for. What do I need to know, what should I get?

Googling it now. Thanks.

$58 US shipping... ouch. I think I need to find a coupon before buying... Had the Nashville pants in the cart and everything...

Funny you should ask. Long story short, yes. Now I'm convinced that a good knee bend is the most important thing in skating. I hear some players in the NHL don't even know what their skate profile is, probably because their legs are so strong it does not matter. Good knee bend is hard on the thighs thou... It is killings me but I'm getting stronger by the week.

Thank you. The site is in us dollars right?

What ever happened to the CCM CL protective with U Foam etc. Did they change the name or something. I have been away a few years and just wondering what they evolved into since I love my CL shoulder pads I was looking for the pants...

I'm a lot like you. I think any mid kick is going to feel OK to you.

So this is what I ended up doing. I managed to get a 2019 TRUE AC9 ACF prostock for $179, 75 flex Marner curve (Sakic). I was looking at getting a Bauer 2n for $224, so to get a real one-piece that normally goes $300+ for $179 made me happy. Tried it out today and could not be happier. It does feel a little different being a shorter stick but the shots are booming again. Not sure how much this has to do with the stick being new and having that new stick pop but... One thing I was not expecting was my wrist shot(which I never use...) was a lot better with the lower flex. So long story short. I shortened my stick about the distance from my mouth to my chin and lowered the stick flex to compensate and couldn't be happier. Thank you all for the excellent replies.

Forward. 5'11' 215 pounds in socks Have a 87 flex stick. Great snap shot. Needed to improve stick handling. So I shorten stick. Improved stick handling but my snap shot took a hit unless a really muscle it. Can I get the best of both worlds if a drop stick flex. I have tried 77 flex before and it felt really whippy but if I shorten it... I usually buy Bauer Nexus in the $318 or $250 range so it would be a costly experiment. Has anyone else tried this? Thoughts.

I wonder if a hairdryer would work... Oh I do have a steamer! that would work I bet. Guess I'll find out. Ya I just need to flatten that one spot a little... Wish me luck.

Ya these sidas are old. you had to stand on these pads and you would make an indentation, then they bake the insoles and put them in the indentations, then you stand on them to mold it. Kinda cool. I've read you can reheat them but you are taking a risk... Speed plate are by bauer? you really like them? I will do research now.

I have a pair of old sidas insoles in there. the problem is either to much cup for the heal that it is effecting the back part of my arch, or the arch is to high/close to the heel. Was hoping it would flatten out a little if I left them in the boot and heated them up... thoughts?

Ya. Great suggestion. Not sure what the skates are like now but this boot is really stiff even after using them for years.

Took five years off. Little bit of foot pain from the arch support in the one boot. Thinking rebaking them might help. Is it a good idea to rebake skates after taking five years off? Bauer Supremes Total 100 Thoughs?

I took five years off, had a kid... Thank you... Been back for about a month and I think the arch on one skate is a bit to high. It hurts for a bit then goes away. My insoles are old, I think they are SIDA or something like that. I remember them making my stand in a sandbox while they heat fitted them to my feet... Anyone else go through this. Was thinking of getting the superfeet comfort insole. Just wondering what other people might know on the matter. Thanks

When it comes to back injuries it seems that controlling any inflammation is the secret. (herniated disc plus multiple bulged discs for me) with that in mind may I suggest Diclofenac SR from your doctor. Take one before you play. Also you might want to underarmour Men's HeatGear CoreShort Pro Compression Shorts.

...did you score?

I remember last year there being a large drop off between the Nexus 1000 stick vs the next step down the Nexus 600. I was surprised there was nothing in between. What do you think the drop off is like between this years Nexus 8000 vs the Nexus 7000? Seems closer, I see one piece vs two piece but considering it's a mid flex, probably notice it less. Thoughts? I have to explain these things to my wife when I pay 300 for a hockey stick.

Funny thing about the hall curves is i know what they are talking about when they mention loading the toe on the shot. The only problem with it is it rises very fast and is hard to aim. Feels like it takes a while to load as well. I use a 85 flex and these shots are like circus shots. Have to be inside the dots if im going to hit the net:)

I always go to the LHS for everything but, I do get mad when I see companies like Easton charging LHS in Canada more for high end hockey sticks! Then they make RULES refusing US stores to ship Easton sticks to Canada so your forced to pay 35% more for a high end stick because your Canadian... THEN they say it's because the US stores buy more sticks so they get the lower prices... So I'm suppose to believe they sell more hockey sticks in the US vs Canada?.. A lot of good will does get lost when your getting robbed. The Canadian LHS need to stand up for themselves because they end up getting some of the backlash. End rant...

This itouch has a small screen. My bad

Need some pics people
