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. Really? I've always had a disdain for how my skates are the slowest item to put on and the most inconsistent. Sometimes I do them too tight and my foot feels awful, sometimes I do them too loose and feel sloshy in the boot. I'd love to have one setting dialed in and done. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try lacing up, unlacing, and re-lacing back up a second time going back and forth between feet. I used to have that problem and this really works for me and I never have problems anymore. It's kinda like a pre-bake each time you put them on. Yes it takes even more time, but it's worth it for me. Sounds ridiculous but it's worth a shot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get up and walk around the room a bit, sway to the sides, rock my foot, sit down, adjust if needed, then tie the double knot. Going out to the ice with skates too loose or too tight sucks. Walking around the room to check is good, easy QC work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTH Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 I used to walk into the rink when the Zamboni was on the ice. Barely enough time to tie them once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A.YOUNGoalie13 Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Wasn’t high on these at first, but seeing them with the home unis, Kuemper looks pretty sick. And who needs Mackinnon anyway? We got Kuemper to shut down Kane and Debrincat 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexis30 Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Anyone know what pads Vasilevskiy is wearing? Most goalies are wearing the new unnamed Bauer model but looks like he is wearing an even different Bauer unreleased pad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likely for the same reason he’s using Bauer pro skates and not the laceless ones. All eyes are on him for new Bauer stuff plus he’s the poster boy for vapor. I expect he’ll give the new supreme line a try sometime soon with a hyperlite graphic but considering he’s used tune fit for so long I’d be surprised if he moves to what appears to be a new system.

As someone who loved the premier 3 graphic I think I’d go for an 8800 graphic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I had to guess those will be the mainstream offering (Pro/Elite/GSX), which is the inference I get from the Bauer University training. The Konekt might be a bit more of a niche product that they may not expect to get a lot of uptake due to how "radically" different it is, so they don't necessarily want to rely on it as their flagship skate offering.
