Add up all the $$$ on OPS you own. The day is fast approaching where that will be the only stick you can buy.

Anyone have a sharp eye to pick out who's wearing these? Hockey should be treating this stuff the same way baseball treats aluminum/corked bats.

i bet savard is using them

Just checked Getty Images and it looks like Savard is still riding LS.

Well in canada soccer is 1st.

[DarkStar50 679]

Does that count Canadian citizens or just, you know, people living there?

'cause if we're counting people, you know, just living there, soccer is # 1 in the US.

Back on topic: find those mystery skaters, dammit! Bring them to justice! We got some questions for those boys.

That reminds me of when I'd have soccer games in Nashville and be one of three guys who were white and/or spoke English. Also better level of play I'd seen since college.

I'm just of the mind that it should be inherently illegal to use a battery or something mechanical in order to increase performance. All the other technological advances in the sport still rely on the player to capitalize upon them, with Therma Blade there's no onus on the player to utilize the technology. Thankfully it seems as though Therma Blade has priced themselves to fail.

It's sad though that the NHL has turned hockey into a production or "show" and it's motives are entirely profit based.

I might add that about half of hockey players cannot even tighten a blade (even the ones with external hardware), so changing a battery will really be complex for them.

that's what the guys in my LHS are for :D

reasoner is wearing them, maybe ill keep checking back at totem outfitters to see if his pro stock skates go on sale there, could get a steal on some thermas!! haha

[cougarscaptain87 11]

Yeah just heard that Marty Reasoner is wering the Therma Blade, guess I got beat to it. STILL sounds like it's creating a solution to a problem that doesn't exist.

Can someone say "Battery Failure?"

[Rustpot 1]

JR- I think I mentioned it in the "What new invention will fail first" thread.

I can't imagine getting used to it then have the left skate battery die on you. Just having one skate get dull on me makes me fall on my face.

[Wolfpack_1986 147]

i hope some of the batteries explode and the acid eats the holder away and it is awesome sauce.

mickey redmound talked about reasoner wearing them last night when the wings were playing

[Super Star 0]

well they are available at hockeygiant for a little chunk of change 399.99. Imagine buying a holder that cost more then your skates.

[Hipster 5]

Taking a test drive on these soon. The shop received a pair this week and I dropped off a pair of sacrificial boots to bolt them onto.

Should be interesting.

[JR Boucicaut 3765]

Wasn't there a recall on some sizes?

We got the display samples in, took one apart - kinda chintzy.

[Scurvy 3]

Wasn't there a recall on some sizes?

I believe there was a recall on 260 and 288 sizes.

[Hipster 5]

*sigh*

What was your impression after skating on the blades?

I'm waiting to try them before I formulate an opinion. That seems to work best for me.

[Wolfpack_1986 147]

I base things on the laws of motion and thermodynamics. they tend to not get violated. that usually works best for me.

I don't think I going to get them but I have to admit they looked pretty sick when I saw them this week. They reminded me of the LS2 Power holder since they are see through and light weight. I think they would be good blade holders without the heat part.

The clear one is the non-working display model.

Oh is it just going to be white then?
