Netnewbie Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 I had a game last night and one of the guys I play against has and absolute rocket for a shot. I play semi organised rec with all levels of skill. he took a shot from the point and i am not reactive enough to get into the butterfly yet so i use my skates to direct to the corners. I looked at my blade and there was a slight bend in the blade. My question is will it affect my blade, which i didnt notice during the game, or should i get it strengthened out?

Puckstopper Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 It will make it difficult to sharpen. You may not notice it now, but you will when your edges are out of whack. Get it straightened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may or may not be able to straighten it out. You can try, but depending on the metal, where it is bent and how deep it is, you may be better with a new runner. Without seeing the blade in my hands, it could be where it can’t be sharpened all that well or be okay with some body English. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
