Awesome looking bucket to compliment these badass Bs Very slick! But if you’re willing to help the aged here: where is the green on his gear…(?) Or was that in reference to the mask?

Meh - I think the bucket is part of “gear”… if anything, I was biased and immediately drawn to pads/gloves. signed, Brian’s Fanboy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chenner29 Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 Not sure if anyone's noticed this, but Fleury's pads have green logos on the outer gusset to go with the green in the crest and shoulder logos Pads also look more bronze here than tan Also, I'm really liking how Chris Gibson in Florida did his colors 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThatCarGuy Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 I take back everything I said about the S22 Bauer graphic. Just saw them in person and they’re killer. They don’t have an awful name either in my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesome looking bucket to compliment these badass Bs This is how gear should be done! Head to toe, I love it. Reminds me of Crazy Eddie! I always have nostalgic memories with Chicago. Having those retro Air-Pac’s just tops it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowman30 Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 (edited) New Bauer skates for 2022, interesting no laces "Last week we teased a mystery skate from Bauer that is expected to be VERY different. Now we have our first good pic from the Dallas Stars locker room as Jake Oettinger is one of the first pros to be using the skates. The construction is extremely unique, essentially making a goalie boot that is laceless and had a hinge point at the ankle. After multiple years of development, the few pros who have gotten to use them have given glowing reviews."

For mic up I guess. About Bauer skates. I was thinking about that a couple times and IMO we won't be seeing skates with lace on top price point in few (or more) years.

HamelinGraphix Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 All I see is this spot of very saturated orange that doesn't match at all! The rest of the set is nice though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

insertnamehere Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 Just now, seagoal said: Velcro instead of laces? Yeah. On a whim I decided to try out the Halo Hockey Laces 2.0 (https://halohockey.com/ols/products/laces2-stock). I like them. I'm lazy, it's the exact same level of tightness each time. It is wearing on my pads a bit though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aside from just looks, not for a single second ever in my life playing hockey did I ever think anything like "I wish these laces on my skates didn't exist" or " I wish lacing up my skates was quicker or easier." So there is the practical side to this where I'm like....."but, why? Since when are laces on skates a problem needing improvement?" I was really slow to abandon thigh wraps, less slow but slow to adopt bungee toe ties, and sorta slow to abandon leather straps relative to a lot of goalies on here or even in the pros. I'm a pretty stubborn, disagreeable person in general so my general response to changes and innovations is at first NO NO NO NO WHY WHY WHY. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from leather straps, I agree on everything. I then enquire with my old dealer, some time back, to see what’s new and I couldn’t help but feel like an old man with all this new type of toe bridges, strapping, thigh/knee protection, different materials for the sliding area of the pads etc! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
