Lucky Pucker Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Skate laces. These bad-boys were custom (well, custom-selected from stock on the shelf). Yup! That’s 108” of red, waxed cutting-edge technology. This shit is fierce! I’m sure they will give me superior transfer of energy, so that I don’t have to do exercises or stuff like that to improve myself. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beansbats Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 It was like Christmas in my house today. Two new buckets. A New Image Patriot Pro and a Pros Choice. I can't wait to get them on the ice (Not at the same time, of course). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I almost added the Nike logo to mine, but could not remove the stock logo easily enough. Yes- Nike was in hockey as early as 1981-ish, albeit only because of the Great One.

Now I must join dangler nation to preserve this helmet until I get another. I've had pucks win that battle as well. Also I've had a mask that just started to delaminate there. Obviously the short answer is time for a new mask... but I know budgets can make that less than attainable. Dangler will help... but definitely something to get sorted out sooner rather than later.

In its place a beautiful 960XPM has arrived. In the 950's defense, there was already a little chin damage before the shot. I agreed to endure the LT88 pads a little longer so we had the budget for a helmet. Edited April 24, 2019 by ThatCarGuy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dstew29 Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Received these last week. Custom scanned. Regular tongue, clarino liner. Fit is unbelievably good and they’re super responsive on the ice. Feel much lighter than any skate I’ve ever tried. Very happy w these so far. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keeperton Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 @dstew29 or anyone else, how do you manage to get elastic toe laces through anything other than the toe hole? Looks too far away to be reached elsewhere. Those skates look like beauts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may be joining the one piece skate club, knowing that I can install a pair of Overdrive blades on them!

It actually has my favorite paint job as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks too far away to be reached elsewhere. Those skates look like beauts. @keeperton Thanks, so far so good! Good observation. So I have pro laces on my pads and have been using the middle hole to lace them through. It's pretty taught so I actually fasten the velcros about mid-way down the female side (meaning about half of the male and female velcro pads are not connected at all). I haven't had any issues with playability and they've stayed fastened without issue. I did notice that a handful of NHL guys that use 1-piece (Rinne. Saros and Georgiev to name a few) will use skate lace or similar bungee type lace versus the velcro pro laces (probably for the reason you're mentioning - so they can control the tension level). 5 hours ago, bunnyman666 said: I may be joining the one piece skate club, knowing that I can install a pair of Overdrive blades on them!

Are there other intended benefits or mainly to reduce/eliminate slip-outs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can use them to help your technique in the crease, as well. I find myself using them for BOTH. But the lack of slip outs for me is injury prevention AND performance enhancement. I should be receiving a few sets that I had black coated. I had intended to do them in November, but life got in the way. They would look super sharp on your True skates.
