Not to discredit, but I know some guys use the leather only because they like how it sounds or looks (Daccord being an example of the latter). I like having one "hard" strap duplicating my strap running from knee to calf. I wear it loose enough I never feel it, but after seeing the video of the goalie who got his pad pulled off by a skater who got caught up in the thigh rise, I wanted to make sure mine stay put. It also makes for a convenient way to carry my pads, as everything else is nylon/elastic. Edited January 3, 2023 by Puckstopper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Full GNetikVs, stock flex on the pads, added leather straps (redundant with the calf), and leather boot instead of nylon. What team is that? I like the jersey. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coopaloop1234 Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 I definitely miss the feeling of doing up leather straps and the overall look of them. Too bad I'll never go back to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedX Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 (edited) Locker room shots are always interesting because we get to see what’s under the hood so to speak in regards to chest and knee pads. CCM Pro chest is still probably the most commonly used piece in the league, Ullmark with an updated version. Kennesky still making it into the rotation. I have to say I’m a little surprised with how many retail/stock knee pads are in the mix. CCM KP Pro and the Bauer Pro and Elite being used quite a bit seeing various locker rooms this season. Only the retired Lou seemed to be using the old Suisse style guards at the Allstar game. Edited February 8, 2023 by RedX 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTH Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 (edited) Luongo played in the ASG? Nice. Did he have his pad side flaps to help him cheat? lol. Remember that? I puzzled by the upside down hangers used to hang the jerseys. Forget the knee pads. Edited February 8, 2023 by MTH 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hold up..........This was a controversy? Somehow I missed this. NHL shooters should have been lining up to mock the league for this. Mites can shoot hard enough to make that piece of foam irrelevant.
