  1. Are overdrive 2.0s finally available?
  2. @Nohtaram Where'd you get these pics?
  3. Got my x-ray results today, turns out I've been playing with a broken thumb for the last couple weeks. One more skate committed to tonight and I suppose I should let it heal up. What's one more time gonna hurt?
  4. I was dicking around knocking pucks down with the paddle while warming up a couple weeks ago, one guy ripped one without looking, eluded all protection and I ended up taking one right off the thumb. I was surprised when I dropped my blocker that there was no real external injury, but the pain sucked. Two weeks later, the swelling has gone down a little, the pain is still there and I'm finally going to go get it checked out. Wondering if my thumb is just sprained, dislocated, or broken!
  5. I can't offer any insight about the CCMs, but I went from Bauer S190s, which would be the Supreme equivalent to your Vapors, into the new Graf Peakspeed Pro G and absolutely love them. As far as performance goes I'd say there's not a huge difference, but the comfort in the Graf boot after baking is so much better. I can't think of any single time my feet have been uncomfortable after playing.
  6. So it looks like that slide plate is removable? I wonder if Warrior will sell that individually and if it would fit a G4/5...
  7. There are also specific adhesion promoter products for the edges, but I'm not sure I want to find out what it will do to the jenpro.
  8. I'll admit that in a couple of corners it's lifting a bit, this after probably 6-7 skates, but to be fair I'm also a "that's good enough" kinda person when it comes to applying it. That being said, the tiny bit of lifting going on hasn't seemed to cause any negative effects in performance.
  9. I just deleted NHL 22 off of my PS5 the other day. Sucks way too much of my time playing online and I don't take losing well, I've come very close to launching my controller through the TV and/or drywall.
  10. I'm also at 4 skates. No noticeable degradation in sliding capabilities, still well adhered to the knee wings. @ArdeFIN what do you use to shape/mold your plates? That looks like an even better idea than the clear bra.
  11. We give up on plays a lot sooner. No point in injury that might keep you out from work for a while.
  12. Yep, this is what I bought, however I bought a shorter length that was available when I ordered. Really easy to apply. https://www.amazon.ca/gp/aw/d/B01II9Z3QA?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title I only put it on the knee wing and don't feel as though I need it anywhere else, the slide is fantastic.
  13. There are so few mistakes made. In my opinion, this is one reason why junior hockey is more fun to watch. Errors lead to exciting chances.
  14. Likely most shots will be glancing blows. How often do you stop a shot squarely with a knee wing?
  15. For the last couple of weeks I've been using polyurethane clear bra on my knee wings and it plays like you describe. It's fantastic.
  16. Copious amounts of calf raises?
  17. https://www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/after-being-scratched-against-ducks-senators-murray-may-be-placed-on-waivers/ This is the place I was looking for and should've posted this.
  18. The fall continues, Murray might be getting waived. https://www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/after-being-scratched-against-ducks-senators-murray-may-be-placed-on-waivers/
  19. I cannot overstate how well this worked. After an hour on the ice, sliding through a snowy, roughed up crease felt almost as smooth as on fresh ice. I don't think I'll ever play without this stuff on my pads again, so long as it holds up for a decent amount of time.
  20. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't see anything indicating that that's got an adhesive backing. How do you plan to get it to stick?
  21. Got a link to the product you bought?
