Easton or Mission

Not trying to imply that I am more skilled than anyone BUT when I flipped my synergy and put an end in it it was the weirdest stick i have ever played with. The Synergy before being broken was nice and whippy, now it is like a tree trunk(very little flex) and I can't stand it. I do like the tapered feeling of that butt end. I always taper the ends of my sticks, and this just saved my the time of adding a wooden end and sanding it down. That was the only benefit I got out of a broken synergy, well I sold the shaft of it for $35 but that's another story.

I live on Columbus, OH and its like 2 degrees right now, they a ctually cancelled school because it was so cold! I do tend to break more sticks in the winter than the summer due to the cold. This winter I started bringing my sticks inside the night before instead of letting them freeze and I've only broken one so far! I just got in my Z-Bubble from the garage and it actually has ice on it!

Schools are close down here too, its like 4 degrees. I went outside because we were going to brave the cold and play a little today outside. Some little kid brought to the rink a hockey ball to play with, he takes a shot and it slams against the board and kind of just shatters all over the place. It is was pretty neat to see that.

Awesome! We've gonna play pond hockey later since all the ponds lakes and creeks are frozen!

[missionhockey21]

That would be fun I havent played on a pond since I was a little kid.

[missionhockey21]

Yeah I can see it now, easton coming out with the badboys of hockey blades "who cares about scoring when you can hit the opposing team with your blades." lol

[SpeedDemon]

They already have that, it's called the "Forsberg" pattern.

I'm bummed...we can't go play on the pond since it's about 67 degrees outside around here...darn it, anyway...

[rlrhky13]

oh thats too bad... It's been about 6 degrees here for 11 days... Wanna trade???

I'm a huge fan of the Shanahan curve---also known by some people as the "Bananahan". It's hard to find blades in other brands with a toe curve like that. (3/4" Toe) I may be mistaken but I believe Mission copied their new one-piece patterns so the Cole is actually identical to the Shanny. Again, I could be mistaken. Easton will also be coming out with a few new patterns. I know Iginla is one for sure, but I am unsure of the curve.

[missionhockey21]

Hey there is at least another month of winter left, so maybe you get your chance to play some pond hockey

[missionhockey21]

Yeah a friend of mine said the same thing about the Cole pattern. He says they are very close in terms of the curve.

[Superstar9]

ouch.. that was harsh

[missionhockey21]

That was pretty harsh.
