By the way, my teammate is visiting family in LA and went to the game last night. He went down for warm-ups and got some video and pics for me. He knows I'm a big fan of Quick 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m trying hard not to be the semantics police, but they’re not “thigh boards” but lace in “thigh guards/knee pads.” The thigh board that hangs out your pants is illegal as per NHL rules. That said increasingly rare but not extinct yet. Typically associated when Vaughn guys. Greiss, Petersen, Gibson all from this season. And I recall Carter Hutton for the Lefevre style ones over his knee pads as an added layer, but I can’t find any photos. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vaughn calls them "thigh wraps" if they lace into pads and, well, wrap around the thighs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks as though CCM has changed their logo, as per their website. Doesn't look as though it's on any of their current gear. It's not a very significant change from the previous one but this could signify big saving on gear coming as stores try to push out older branded gear. I believe the logo change has been in effect on their website for a while. The new logo will be present on the upcoming 2022 gear. If you look at pics of the Axis 2, for example, you'll see it there.

I'm really curious, what part of my response to you in the other thread do you not understand? I never said slack is bad, I even told you I use 2.5" off the toe bridge myself 8 knots seems like overkill to me - if I assume you did your knots like mine, and each of my knots is 1/2"... 8 knots would be 4" of slack. That's a lot IMO and to me it's a clear reason why you can't get your pads to rotate back Quote FWIW I have 2.5" of slack in my toe laces from the base of the toe bridge to the last knot that runs against the skateOne set of double knots is about 1/2" from the bridge, and the next set of double knots is an inch from the first set. The skate lace holes are also inset on my toe bridge 8 knots seems like a lot. If you're wearing your pads "as tight as possible" there may be something restricting them rotating back Keep in mind when you drop, you're exerting force down with your knees to get your pads to rotate out. When you get back up, there's nothing really rotating them back except your toe ties and the weight of the pads themselves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol I get any stick that has a chip or minor crack. If he doesn’t want it they just give them away or auction them online to fans. He told me 25in and P31 when I asked though his stick definitely felt a little more whippy so it could have been a V2 underneath not V1. Sadly I’m no longer in Austin to stock up on sticks.

I did really like my thigh wraps on my V4, took a few errant pucks to the gap they have that fucking stung like crazy though. Knee pads are functionally much better than either one and I have no issues being in them, but man, you definitely free more free in a thigh wrap. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
