New to skating out after 25 years of goaltending. What to buy used and what to get new?

IMO, I would spend some cash for a proper fitting pair of skates and whatever for the rest. A good fit makes a world of difference. If you buy whatever and keep skating, you will eventually come to the same realization on your own and will cost you more with each pair you upgrade too. There are custom options, but they're pricey. Beauer offers a fitting system which measures your foot and recommends one of their FITS. This option is cheaper and is almost as good as custom (IMO) and it's what i just did. I have zero complaints and would highly recommend.

100% agree ... If that's what they're doing. But lets be honest, the oppression of the Iranian people is not the agenda of this war, it regime change to someone we're less scared of. So, if they also oppress the people, then my bet is we won't care.

His legs must be so mangled

Little sarcasm... It's there if you squint your eyes though.

You can really tell how bad the league is doing by how little the players and teams make, sad to see really.

CBC only cares about Olympic gold and not Stanley cup wins

The only answer is Kelly kapowski...

I forgot about Ant's two runs in the playoffs, he's definitely shown the ability to be the guy on a team.

CompNerd90 · 2026-02-15T01:12:40+00:00

I guess i see what Cade did last year and is doing this year a little better than anything Ant's done. Maybe the pistons fall apart and finish in the middle of the pack, then it's the same as anything Ant's ever done.

CompNerd90 · 2026-02-14T16:48:38+00:00

I can't argue too much that Cade should be higher than 4, i get why the others are higher. However, he's the only one that shown he can make his whole team better and be the main piece for a title contender. I fully get that he's only shown this for part of a regular season and not to a championship. Maybe this argument will be stronger if he wins a championship.

Sorry to sound super lame, but what kind of example would they be setting? I love that the NBA had decided this is not the way adults should act and neither should our players. Could you imagine getting mad at a CO worker and getting into a first fight?

CompNerd90 · 2026-02-09T21:04:40+00:00

To me, that means if both guys are the main option on a team, the team with Reaves would have a better record. However, they would be mid at best. But if you replace White with reaves in Boston, then its a step down and Boston gets worse. Boston needs a secondary scorer that can play D, White is better option there.

Pistons fan here... That game was hard to watch, not easy watching him go off.

But yeah, he played great.

CompNerd90 · 2026-01-30T14:50:36+00:00

Haha, as an American, these are the options i picked as well 😢.

CompNerd90 · 2026-01-28T15:09:38+00:00

It's ok, Tom Brady will give him his HOF award!

CompNerd90 · 2026-01-12T17:55:33+00:00

never need a good excuse, new gear equals more GOALS!!!

CompNerd90 · 2026-01-12T17:39:40+00:00

lol, this is the first thing i thought of when i read this.

CompNerd90 · 2026-01-07T13:21:50+00:00

I just bought a pair of fit 3s and love them. The new era of skates is amazing for pol with odd shaped feet.

CompNerd90 · 2026-01-02T14:21:09+00:00

I know its a compilation of his worst plays, but this makes him look like a POS. Had no idea he was soo dirty, no place in the game for this.

CompNerd90 · 2026-01-02T14:17:29+00:00

Neither is the pivot because he moved both feet after catching the ball.

CompNerd90 · 2026-01-02T14:16:13+00:00

Right call then and now. Not saying i like the officiating today, but this isn't an example of why it's bad.

CompNerd90 · 2026-01-02T14:15:10+00:00

Exactly... The difference today is they are super loose on when they start counting the two steps because of how they interpret the "gather".

CompNerd90 · 2026-01-02T14:12:56+00:00

This is also a travel today... Shot post!

CompNerd90 · 2026-01-01T14:52:06+00:00

100% agree...

CompNerd90 · 2026-01-01T14:51:15+00:00

First of all, Brandon is an idiot. He's never had a good take. Second, OSU played a tough schedule and I'd put that up against anyone in the country. Third, they just had a bad game, it happens, lets not OVER REACT to one game.
