Heat molding won't change the length of the skate just the fit. The toe won't start shrinking in lol so if you're touching, get a half size bigger and go into a store if you can to try.

I ended up going with Kova and have zero regrets.

Ya I get it. You definitely want to get it right.

@GoalieInTheDesertYT I could have helped as my parents are going back to Israel but I think they are stopping in Germany, my dad's sister lives there. Don't think we can work away around it.

I missed this thread, so hello.... my heart goes out to everyone. So sad, the beautiful cats, and dogs, bunnies. I been around cats most of my life, from growing up in Israel they just run around and become your pet. Every time I visit I bring food. I have already lost 4, and it's so tough. When I moved to Toronto back in 94-95 our neighbor handed us a cat which we loved, years passed and he got weaker, were able to save him for but 5-6 months but he he lost his bone mass, got weaker and couldn't walk so we had to put him down. Lster on my sister got a Persian cat and she had kittiens, we kept two. One swallowed a needle by mistake (Milka) which we had to operate on, knock on wood was all but success. Her brother (Simon) the only pure grey one that cane out and with the best personality had leukemia, passed in my arms when he was 8, I came back from co-op and he decided to wait. Mom made is to 20 and she passed 2 years ago, got old and weak. Milka (needle eater) passed last year and made it to 20 as well. Really disturbing though, she also got weak but I noticed a bump near her bum area. A few days later it opened and it was filled with warms and maggots, her body couldn't fight it out I guess... and I had to put her down. From 3 cats I was now down to 1, Jessie, he's 12 and been through a lot. Developed high sugar, which developed to Neuropathy and him not being able to walk properly or jump. He ate a lot, but is just a big structured cat and was around 25 pounds. A miracle drug I found saved him, he does get insulin and on a good diet. Recently though a big cyst opened up under his chin, a size of a toonie so I'm dealing with that. Scary. He's a hunter for sure, roams the yard, and already brought 5 mice to date, and baby birds. I'm totally an animal lover, and they deserve so much more JESSIE below.

Ya, if I'd like to replace anything now it would be the arms.

Retail custom and very protective, it's a beefed up version all over.

The beefed up Premier is probably so much better than this and bigger. Love mine.

You're right they do sit taller, but when I drop I have no issues, I kinda like this. I ordered the same size as the Axis1. @ZeroGravitas I would like a longer strap and maybe more velcro. I was able to stretch out the strap though and my 3rd game was better.

I used to use those and they were okay. Had the ccm for years, also the Vapors. Not sure if something happened to me, I can't recall.. .but I ended up going with Kova a few years back.

He's a swimmer, there is only one way

Goal, If Binny's pads were form, planted against the post it wouldn't go in. His stick didn't move his pads....gravity did.

Game never went to OT.

The new QMSS2, like you have and me. Below the knee, it's too damn short.... I'm trying to stretch it out when it's sitting at home by strapping them on larger objects. I feel a bit of that wobble if it hits sqare on my butterfly but they are stiffer throughout vs the Axis 1. I do feel shoots a little weider too vs the Axis1. I ended up without the boot strap.

Personally I'd go for 960 the newer model but they only come in white, you could do a wrap. The xpm came out like 6 years ago, you can check sidelineswap or Facebook groups for some in good condition but it's rare. The VTX comes in white too.

So, I had a feeling that the new QMMS system would be an issue because of how tight the velcro strap is, without the extra give which restricted the crap out of me after my first use. I was tired AF after 30 minutes and getting exhausted due to the restriction. Not to mention that my upper calf area isn't that big. I started taking big pillows and wrapping them around my pads hoping it will get looser. How did you find it? Overall the pads are great, harder rebounds vs the Axis 1, better seal on the butterfly. My game ready glove though feels like a Pro and a little stiffer.

No one really knows but I think Price is done. As for Allen, he's there so the tank doesn't look that obvious.

Jack really had only 1 full nhl season, and struggled in the end. His injury issues still on-going. But as @coopaloop1234 said like many others, middle of the pack.

Goalies that excel at this level stop pucks, even with mediocre D. He's a backup at best, there is really nothing to talk about here. Just another nhl backup that will get 20 to 25 games and you hope he can get his GAA under 3.

He's a back at best, already 30, will give you 20 games. His career numbers are terrible.

You could find 4mm blades still, however anything with current Bauer skates Step Steel is out and doesn't manufacture steel for Bauer skates anymore.

That's right, what Coop said. With finger stalls. I got to say though, compare to my Axis 1 the glove is stiff AF ha.

The x900 is more of an intermediate glove, go pro maybe. But, best thing to do is catch pucks in your pocket.

Tried it in store, and wasn't a fan of it. I have intermediate hands and didn't want to take a chance as well. Something about not having finger stalls freaked me out lol. Plus the closure felt more of like a 600 to me. Why you asking? You in the market for something new?
