figgifumi_11 3 Report post Posted July 29, 2011 A few things I've picked up recently:- CCM U+10 65 flex with Crazy Ovi curve- 2011 Warrior KGB 70 flex with Kremlin curve- Mission NME helmetJust got the KGB yesterday and it feels great (haven't had it on the ice yet as the local rink is closed due to the heat). Shaft dimensions are identical to my 2011 Dolomite DD and it feels very well balanced as well as very light. Great looking stick with lots of cool little details in the paint/decals. U+10 has worked well for me so far, not quite as light or as balanced as the KGB but it was a good way to try out the curve and get a solid stick to boot.

figgifumi_11 3 Report post Posted July 29, 2011 I really didn't have any trouble transitioning to the Ovechkin pro-clone. I went from a Sakic to P14 to the Kremlin/Crazy Ovi and just had to make some minor changes to my release on wrist/snap-shots. I don't do slapshots so that wasn't an issue for me either.

hrvd214 0 Report post Posted July 29, 2011 (edited) kremlin curve seems crazy to me. I imagine there are a lot more mights and squirts who don't have any problem shooting top corner now then there were 5-10 years ago.

tamtamg 12 Report post Posted August 1, 2011 (edited) My custom APX, had them for a couple of weeks, but hadn't had time to take some pics.SPECS:-Size 6 3/8 EEE/B (Down from 6.5EEEE/B in my X60's)-Quarter panels from a size 7.5 skate to accommodate my high volume foot.-Toe caps from a size 9 Flexlite boot.-A few stretches here and there to accommodate my duck feet.-Re-enforced solid tendon (a la Draper)-And the usual double stitched, re-enforced eyelets-Also went up to level 4 stiffness. Had 3 stiffness on the X60's, but they went soft on me pretty quickly. Edited August 1, 2011 by tamtamg Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I kept mine pretty simple, didn't go for all sorts of bells and whistles. 6-3/4 EA on left and 6-5/8 EA on the right with 1/8" stretch on the toecap. 4 stiffness?! Wow! I stuck with the standard 2 and find them just right. How'd the "comfort edge" come out for you? I've noticed a few pics of customs that look different than retail. Mine included.Yes, they're built in Canada.I love them more and more every time I skate in them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lemieux 66 Report post Posted August 2, 2011 In the spirit of sharing gear pics with my new MSH friends, I thought that I'd post pictures of my custom-made mask that I ordered a few months ago.It is an Ed Cubberly mask. He's from Frenchtown, NJ, and he had NHL goalies wearing his mask in the '80s and '90s. You could tell by the trademark "C" at the ear hole.The paint job was by Diel Airbrush in Montreal. He's young and has unreal talent!You can read my write-ups on the Goalie Store Bulletin Board.2011 Ed Cubberly Goalie Mask Review2011 Diel Airbrush Paint Job ReviewYou may have noticed the sweet pad graphic that the goalie is wearing. :D It's from the Eagle graphic design contest a few years ago.
