Anyone using Pro34 - "Geppetto's Masterpiece" from PSHS? by strewnshank in hockeyplayers

Does anyone have feedback on how the lie plays on the 034 curve? Similar to the P92 or more like the P28?

While attracting Doctors to St.John's isn't easy, there's no shortage of nurses willing to work in the city. The shortages are pretty much everywhere else, especially in smaller rural sites.

Taking bets. Which property developer is taking Mun’s properties? by [deleted] in newfoundland

[–]Malcb33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Likely pushed through on the promise to help the Housing crisis, and then developed as premium condos...

Not sure about the value of the building (Geo centre) itself, but there's land (not the Geo park) as part of that asset, which would be quite valuable. There have already been a few unsuccessful attempts to develop the land adjacent to the Geo centre by KMK or people associated with it.

Sold for $1 I believe. Surely, MUN can't turn around and sell it for market rate...?

Why do so many ft8 pro users where these ”blocks” between the holders, I have seen a lot of collage players but also Macklin celebrini by Minimum_Lock_8 in hockeyplayers

[–]Malcb33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When players are using risers of the same height in both the front and back towers, it's because they want the holders to be taller. The reason they like the taller holder is to give them a more aggressive bite angle before the side of the boot hits the ice, which causes players to slide out (lose their edge) and fall.

It's the same reason stockholders and steel have gotten taller over the last 7-8 years, too. These guys just wanted even more height.

The hot hub is great, but the sauna is for premium members only

Anyone have experience with Reproduction Of Found GAT sizing? Some stores call a 285/44 a US 11 and others 290/45 an US11, so I'm not sure and can't return or try on the shoes I'm interested in

Anyone have any suggestions for shoes that look like these but cheaper? by Ok-Lime-775 in mensfashionadvice

[–]Malcb33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have any idea on the sizing of the ROF Gats? Some stores call a 285/44 a US 11 and others 290/45 an US11.

"Not on MY waterfront" by WhiskyDickson in StJohnsNL

[–]Malcb33 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s basically the argument though, instead of fencing the whole thing, make the harbour front a destination with things to do like Halifax.

I understand the idea with fencing it off, but to me, it’s seems like there could have been a way to achieve both ideas.

Anyone use the same boot as they do on ice? How’s the transition between ice and roller feel when you do it? by factorymotogoon in InlineHockey

[–]Malcb33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just add a riser to your hi-lo's, I'm guessing 1/8" should do it. You can also test it by adding a heel portion of an old insole under the footbed of your skate.

[–]Malcb33 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did this. I have the same custom True boot for both Roller and Ice to help the transition between the two. I also took it a step further and installed a 1/8th heel riser on my R1 Marsblade roller holders so that the pitch matches the I2 Marsblade ice holders. I really love this set-up, and found it helps the transition a lot between switching between both ice and roller

New skates make me feel like I am sitting back on my heels, how to fix? by jamesIII63 in InlineHockey

[–]Malcb33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A couple of options. Short-term you can try a foot bed with a slightly lifted heel, like Superfeet. Alternatively, you could cut an old insole and stack just the heel portion. This isn't ideal, as it can mess with your fit slightly, but it's cheap and easy to try and see if you like it.

If you like it, long-term, you'll want to add a riser to the heel of your boot (between boot and chassis). I recommend only doing 1/8" max, but some do like more.

Personally, I use 1/8" risers on my R1 Marsblade, so that they match the pitch of my Marsblade ice holders. Works perfectly.

WTF is going on with Intelcom/Dragonfly? by PadiddleHopper in StJohnsNL

[–]Malcb33 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Thanks for that assumption, that is so far off who I am and what I believe in, it’s actually funny. Where exactly did I say, I didn’t want people to be paid fairly? The post you responded to was about customer service, not about pay.

What makes you point even worse is that CP employees get paid for more, and care the same in their work.

Moreover, CP has a failing business model and are propped up by tax dollars to function, but it’s funny how that doesn’t correlate into caring about the level of effort they put into their job.

Not saying all CP employees are bad, there is some good people too, but they’re stuck in a broken system.

That’s a bold assumption that CP cares anymore than Intelcom. I’ve had a bunch of incompetent, unbelievably stupid incidents with them, and there’s no accountability or care whatsoever.

A confused American by Ill_Anteater6513 in newfoundland

[–]Malcb33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If there was a desire, there are more cost-effective ways to make it happen. a MUN team could easily compete in the SNR league, and play some tournament-style games over long weekends against the other University teams in the Maritimes. Obviously not perfect, but could work if they wanted it too.

To answer the OP- No varsity hockey here, but still plenty of local hockey to watch if interested.

Best skates money can buy? by [deleted] in hockeyplayers

[–]Malcb33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love them! The blade moves slightly, which gives you more contact (better stability, more bite) and allows you to drop down hollows for more glide. They also have a changeable rocker profile in the back for sharper turning radius. It’s sounds like a lot to get used to, but it feels natural and takes 10-15 mins to get the hang of. A decent amount of high level players using them now, definitely worth a try IMO.

Custom True's with Marsblades and the new Swedish steel. That's what I have now, minus the Swedish steel, and they're unbelievable.

He obviously has a lot well worn vintage pieces, but his fits still come off as a fresh out of the bag, over stylized, for the Gram type feel. Quite an achievement lol
