I caught a bit on the Caps @ G.K. game and thought, "What are Holtby's pads, exactly?" Gotta wonder if he still has any Larceny in there, which in turn had some remnants of Heaton 10s, if I recall correctly. yeah holtbys crazy superstitious w his specs, he used larcenys in hershey and when he began in the nhl so i can only imagine theres some specs from those. looks like its mainly been graphical changes, but hes been rotating ef3 and 2 gloves the past few seasons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitanG Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Ryan Miller, specifically Bishop Designs, killing it with this Star Wars themed mask. Normally not much of a fan of Miller's designs by Bishop, but this one is great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AG37 Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Smith and Saros both in new sets. Love that Smith is sticking with the home and away sets, the more red in this set looks great! Most EF4s this year have been pretty boring. Guys like Hutch and Bobs stick with the upper portion colored like Saros, Stolarz and Gibson have the ugliest pads in the league, but I really like Hart and Copley's EF4 sets.

I usually prefer the classic yellow and red Calgary Flames uniforms minus the black, but man those look sharp especially with the color choices Smith uses. I’m happy for Smith finally playing on a good team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People think playing on a good team is easy when it’s not, you’re not getting as much shots and it’s hard to stay sharp, I hope he finds his groove Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only difference is XHL probably would outshine the NHL because of the "old school violence" and the more goals it would yield due to its ex-pro/borderline pro/amateur talent pool.

seagoal Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Sad news for Raanta out for the season but....holy thigh rise overlap! I couldn't get that much closure wearing +4 pads. Sealed pad tops just not in the cards for me. Howard with lots of room in the boot / skate area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seagoal Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Haha, beer league hips. Brittle and creaky and sore? I'd love to see a chart with NHL toe tie set ups. It is a bit perplexing when I still see skate laces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

creasecollector Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 I still use skate lace toe ties with a ton of slack. We're a dying breed in 2018 it seems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seagoal Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 I'm 4 skates into bungee chords coming from a 2 inch slacked skate lace and I'm not convinced yet. I'm mostly indifferent, but I can definitely feel the boot of my pad more connected to my skate. I guess I'm just not convinced that's a good thing, yet. I'm also using dramatically different pads now, so there's a lot of new going on at once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think "modern" and expect to see all the modern things in the NHL. But then, there's like 6 goalies using CCMs with knee rolls and 42 leather straps on each pad and skate lace toe ties on TV every night in the NHL. I think my conception of modern on this website is different from how modern is represented in the NHL....with the exception of Bauer and Brian's goalies, for the most part. With even a casual glance at current NHL gear, CCM seems to be the most unmodern, traditional company available right now. By no means is that a knock (they're by far my #2 favorite), it just seems that way to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cuprajake Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 alot of those guys in the nhl wont want to change, and dont, look at how they have gear reskinned year after yr, its consistency, as the older guys go out you will see more modern box pads come through personally dont know how anyone can wear ccm after trying a set, compared to my brians and even more for my warrior ccm are dinosaurs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
