Does anyone here have the ccm rbz's? If so how do you like them. I saw a pair of the 100s on hockeymonkey for 200 and was interested in them. Going tomorrow to the local pro shop to see what size I am in them.

Do the rbz come in magnum size? I literally can't think of anything but condoms when I see those products.

Going tomorrow to the local pro shop to see what size I am in them. I just got some on super sale over Memorial Day weekend. I got the 70's. So far they are great but not a lot can go wrong in just over 2 months for a twice a week skater. I had been a lifelong Bauer guy before these skates but the Bauer skates that I tried on, even in size EE were still a little snug feeling. The RBZ's and the Tacks fit really well and I found the RBZ's on sale so I went for it. I tried on a pair of the like $700 Tacks, maybe the 6052 or the next one up, and they felt ridiculously good. If only I had that kind of money to spend on skates. I am wearing the same size in the RBZ as my previous pair of Bauers, 9.5 regular width, and I had a little bit of an adjustment period but they started feeling normal after probably the second skate. My only concern is that every one of my friends that wear CCMs rip through the eyelets of the skates while tying them very, very, regularly and I'm counting down to the first time it happens to me.

Switched from rbk's and found the ccm's run a little longer than reebook so when I bought an 11.5, I should have gotten a 10.5-11.

Come to think of it this might be a good way to get cheap weird sticks in LA so I can stop borrowing clubs out of sellouts's golf bag.

Everyone should just buy a Zetterberg/Modano/Hamrlik curve and be done with it. P90, I think? It's a solid curve that doesn't have any wacky twist and a relatively medium lie. I got a mystery Graf the other day and it's like the toe is trying to fold over on the bottom of the blade and it's only good for wrist shots up close. Never again. Tho the Datsyuk is pretty solid too.

Another super hot/humid pick up. I can feel my chest fluttering all through it and at the end, I can't even move to stop a shot. Playing goalie means too much stuff to wear Wooty fucked around with this message at 11:36 on Aug 5, 2015 |

Knee was feeling OK when I did my lunge and squat workout with reduced weights. I'm coming off a shoulder injury and bicep as well so going to ease myself back into my regular routine over a month and a bit. I decided to give stick and puck a go today for an hour and 15 minutes. Ate some pasta before and was on the ice the whole time and my knee felt fine. Still have a doctor's appointment and will get it properly checked out but holy poo poo am I glad it seems to be OK.

2nd game of the week last night with the oddest ref situation I've ever seen. The ref was the most Canadian ever, but even so his behavior seemed... over the top. Any time there was contact of almost any kind and the play was whistled dead, he'd go to each player involved and ask if they were ok. The first time it happened it was when one of our centers crushed a guy into the boards so it seemed relatively appropriate as dude on the other team did take a second to get back on his feet. After that, I got bumped around in the corners digging a puck out and after I got it out of the zone, the ref skated up. "Hey there buddy. You ok? Seemed like quite a scrum." I shrugged him off out of confusion and followed the play but that's when I noticed what was happening. Recently our the quality of our referees has gone waaaay up, so I'm not sure if this is how refs who give a gently caress about their job act or if this guy was genuinely over-concerned for everyone's safety.

Our league has an insane playoff system where you get two points for each period that you win and four points for winning the game. Points would probably determine seeding into a bracket tournament but it actually just determines seeding into one game (so basically there's two teams playing a championship game and then everyone else plays one last game for funsies). It's kind of neat in that the last minute of every period gets played like its the end of a game. We won our game but lost one period and tied one period so we walk away with 7 points and the other team gets 3. Never heard of anything like this.

My stick handling is pretty bad though. I'm only just starting to get the hang of loosing up on the hands and it's definitely improving my handling. I'm even getting used to having my head up over 50% of the time!

Wow, I missed a doozy last night league drama If I'm reading the email from my team's captain correctly, apparently we were forced a forfeit because we had an unrostered guy in summer league and our captain is pissed because other teams in our division have guys from div 1-3 and a player who was in juniors or something. for the record we're division 5 'beginners' league Doctor Butts fucked around with this message at 16:56 on Aug 6, 2015 |

Wearing 99, 9, 7, 77, 66, or 68 is too far even for me, but the team coordinator regularly threatens to get 69 on the new jerseys we just ordered last week.

You can go pink, neon green, or Stars and Stripes! Oh and use United States Postal Service Tape as sock tape.

Nah, there's definitely something to using USPS tape for shins. It's what we used in HS when we wore pajama bottoms instead of socks. Stick tape is pink, laces are lime green. When I first taped my stick pink someone on another team asked if I let my mom tape my stick. "No, my daughter picked it out." and the dude got a serious look on his face, "Oh sorry man. That's cool. I know how it goes." Works out fine because my daughter is the one that picked the tape out in the first place but I agreed for reasons other than "pink is pretty."

Well, his goal was to get others so focused on him that they lose focus of the game. I've seen all of these out there in the wild. Just trying to get them all into one package (for fun)

Also, you're missing the point. It's fun to look like a douche when there's at least 2-3 guys on the other team that will focus on someone for their choices during a game of hockey barbie dressup.

The one that perplexes me is the track pants or pajamas instead of socks, just because I've never seen anyone do it and I can't imagine how the extra bulk in the crotch area improves life. I think a guy came to pickup once in sweatpants but it was his first day.

Plus hockey socks are $10 and last for ages so they're cheaper than sweat pants or anything else.
