Chadd 916 Report post Posted January 24, 2009 It's almost like the article was written by one of us, the only thing they missed was talking about weight, balance and kickpoints. :lol: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RadioGaGa 162 Report post Posted January 24, 2009 Campbell's 1-90's - "it's an older skate". Those are from last year, right?Makes it sound like he's wearing Microns *L* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lampliter87 8 Report post Posted January 24, 2009 I noticed that as well... it makes it sound like the "vipers" are newer than the One90's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wolfpack_1986 154 Report post Posted January 24, 2009 i'm guessing Campbell said "One90, it's an older skate"... and he wrote that verbatim. Because, he clearly doesnt know shit about skates.The guy is new. Guessing he's the "boss". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rustpot 1 Report post Posted January 24, 2009 He could be referring to the fact that his One90 skates are somewhat older, being used for two seasons or something. The One90 skates are over 2 years old now, probably closer to 3 at the pro level. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wolfpack_1986 154 Report post Posted January 24, 2009 when the Canes won the Cup, Hedican was using a new pair of 8090s something like each game in the ECF and SCF.Ron Francis used to change skates about every 10 games, about the same rate as parise.

pantherfan 0 Report post Posted January 24, 2009 How many did Mess run through?I remember hearing a story on here about a 1/4" adjustment to his pants that only he could tell the difference between. :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pantherfan 0 Report post Posted January 24, 2009 Stick curvesYep, did some searching and looks like I was mashing your and DS50's stories together, 1/4" off the length of his pants and huge amount of curves that only he could differentiate between. Must have been a hard guy to work with but do you argue with a guy like that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnnyCanuck 0 Report post Posted January 28, 2009 It makes no sense that Campbell says he likes the skates that aren't as stiff as the new ones, yet he "Tapes his ankles...A Lot"why do you need to tape your ankles if you are opposed to stiffness!?Makes little to no sense to me...
