  1. The concept sound like the Mission ViBE inline chassis version of an ice holder. Also curious about the Marsblade 'adjustments' they are going to make and if there are any options for the user to tinker with like the Mission Pitch holder.
  2. They need to wear that against Vancouver as well.
  3. Looks like a practice jersey to me.
  4. Poor guy having to hang em up because of all his injuries. I know he had similar neck issues around the same time I had mine so I've kept tabs on his recovery, unfortunately now the lack thereof recovery. Hope at least he can heal up enough to not stop him from living a normal life.
  5. If you hop in the ol' way back machine and take a look at the gloves the Devils wore with these jerseys the cuff roll was white with black lettering. I just think the white cuff roll looks better and the green cuff roll is too 'christmasy' ha. As to why the Devils used black lettering on the cuff role there is probably some ol' Lou Lamoriello folklore with the reasoning behind that. Or it could be that was just the norm back then, look at the Rangers, Whalers, Blues, Flames, teams that used white cuff rolls the manufacturer name was in black font in the 80's and early 90's. I even remember some Sabres gloves with yellow cuff rolls from back then had the manufacturer name in black font. Manufacturers back then could probably only do white or black branding on the materials they used or maybe it was cheaper? I am sure Junkyard could probably answer this question. I was just a kid back in those days and that's when I got obsessed with gear, so for me when I see some of these throwback/retro jerseys I pray they bring back the old glove color ways from 90's. The one color gloves so many teams use today are just so damn boring.
  6. Only gripe with New Jersey is the gloves, that cuff roll needs to be white with black lettering for the company. Other than that, love that set up.
  7. Those Luxe are gorgeous, everything else is meh.
  8. Gonna have to give the quad 0 a try. I've been on the Quad2 for the last couple of years and thought it made a huge difference in my skating. As much I loved the quad 2 on my APX and 1x, it wasn't until I switched to True/VH skates that I really can feel that back 13/16' when I am skating. I don't mind it for the straight aways and gliding but I can feel that length a lot more in the Trues and to get going feels a little clunky.
  9. I’m not sure what the standard operating procedure is anymore, however if you follow a certain Narch Pro player on instagram you can get a glimpse of the new skate I think. (hint: the pros last name rhymes with fostercamp)
  10. Could & should probably go in the sweet spot thread...but going back to work sucks. I was fortunate to find a job quickly (& close to home) but having a few weeks off to spend with my son was awesome and now you realize it’s back to the grind for a loooooong one, ha.
  11. Bruins sale is February 10th at TSR in Salem, NH.
  12. I don’t know when Apple ever made it easy ha. I’m glad I’m out of the world of trying to find a happy medium of business requirements/IT security and iphones, that was a nightmare.
  13. I’m in IT, focus on Telecom stuff mostly, in the greater Boston area. Not too worried about finding something, just had a good gig and timing is poor. That being said if you know anyone please feel free to DM me bud and thank you!
  14. Getting laid off. Wouldn’t mind being on the hunt for a new job but my wife was also laid off right before Christmas. Crappy situation all around.
  15. wait, I thought the bubble was carshing?
  16. Ethereum at $847, up almost $500 in the last month. I got in because I liked the tech applications of it...not hating the jump in price either, ha!
  17. I got in way too late on Bitcoin but still have seen a nice uptick. That being said I got in early on Ethereum and that has played out nicely. I am no expert in any of this but from what I've read (and kinda understand) I think Ethereum will have better applications of its blockchain tech down the road versus bitcoin. Either way its been a pretty fun ride.
  18. Whats the minimum on ordering from true if you send in a sample to be cloned?
  19. Hey @Skate Mod I read you’re manifesto, I mean website...gotta say some real great info, other stuff, a little head scratching. I need to give it another tons of info! I’m with @oldtrainerguy28 and am kind of curious of your background here. Biomechanics phd? Former R&D at one of the big companies? Pro skate rep? My post count or 23 second of a men’s league shift where I can actually skate halfway decent don’t make me an expert, but I’m of a mindset where I’ll trust someone based on their background, etc. I’ve been around the block a little and your site is fascinating, but I’ve never seen anyone skating with a ‘H’ notched out of their boot. That said, I’m curious to know more and hear some more info from you.
  20. Must play for Tortorella and have to block shots all the time.
