  1. Well, well, well. Looks who's back.
  2. The skate guards still being on is bugging me.
  3. Yea, we'll have to have an intervention after your pads come in.
  4. I'm just happy you're embracing colour
  5. Just pictures. Don't expect anything too different than the current Mach chesty. Which is a good thing. It's my favourite I've ever had
  6. Can you do #1 without the ice blue?
  7. https://www.sportsmediawatch.com/nba-market-size-nfl-mlb-nhl-nielsen-ratings/#:~:text=As of the 2023-24,Worth. Wanted to do some research to see how true that is and I came across this. Atlanta is right up there for Big 4 veiwership ratings in the USA without a NHL team. Definitely makes sense why they really want to nail down that market if possible. Funny enough, Phoenix isn't far behind. Makes sense why Bettman and Co. are just refusing to let the Coyotes leave and keep taking that embarrassment of a franchise on the chin
  8. Ah, for some reason I thought you had the XF on order as well. C'mon, do eeet
  9. Anyone able to clarify what's different with the stock Shadow ROM compared to Mach?
  10. Brutal. You liked the Supreme gear more than the Vapour gear anyways right?
  11. Pretty close to stock then aside from a few changes. No digiprint this time around?
  12. The glove is different too, unless you got a a Vapour glove with your set?
  13. True's wait times usually skyrocket around when guys are getting ready to get back to training before camps. This is probably the slow season for Pro orders.
  14. True pads have what they call a Fast Rotation System. It's essentially a professor strap for your calf. Kind of like Bauer's Tune Fit+ system and what CCM does as well. It's starting to become popular and for a good reason. Holds your leg in there, doesn't interfere with knee pads or skates, and is highly customizable. Clearly you just need sliding toe bridges. lol I know all the rage right now is to go back to laces because "post integration is better!", but I say fuck that. Objectively, it's correct, but the feel and ease of bungees are fantastic and lord knows I'm never going to have enough time to effectively practice my toe bridge on post integration to the point where it's automatic. The sole benefit of lace is almost lost on me. Especially as I've got rubber enough hips that skate on post and a hard lean (even in Ultrasonics) is relatively easy for me.
  15. Ehhh, I'm going to disagree. In 2010 the theory behind leg pad strapping was wildly different. Strapping the knee block down to the calf wasn't a thing and leg channels were all super tight unless you were using a RBK Premier pad. Even in Premier pads, the best way to wear them was very, very loose. The only thing that was keeping it on your leg was strapping behind the knee and your toe ties/boot strap. The change from behind the knee, down to the calf, is probably the largest contributor to what you're saying. All pads in 2010 still had a plethora of leather straps. The strap reduction really only started with the Gnetik1 (2012) and G2 (2013) leg pads, at the time these two lines were a massive shake up to how leg pads were strapped. Who knew that using Velcro would be so revolutionary?
  16. What a strange way to write out "third attempt"
  17. Clearly you're needing an old school full cowling.
  18. So I have a pair the CCM Tacks, which I'm fairly certain is the Pro version of the 6092. I've taken a few shots on the outside/inside of the boot and it's never pleasant. Though it's a pretty rare occurrence overall just with how the position is generally played. I'm sure the full 1 piece composite boots that are available are more protective, but, IMO, this shouldn't be a major factor in a purchasing decision when coming to a skate.
  19. I know that the ventus/slr glove wasn't the most popular, but it's dissapointing to see it essentially dissapear. I assume it'll be available at custom since there is still a user base for it, but I do understand their thought process behind making the change.
  20. Hate to see you go man, but it's been a pleasure. I hope I can last as long in net as you
  21. Time for the inGoal advertisement video
  22. Here's a good side by side of an Iconik pad with a stiffer core and a stock core. Brians is going a bit in the opposite direction than most and applying a more aggressive curve to their stiffer pads and having a straighter profile for their more flexible pads. I'm going to make an assumption and say it's the same concept applied between the Optik 3 and the x3's.
