@Yzueblin is definitely on to something regarding the use of white and its inevitable discoloration. If you are going to get new kits fairly frequently - might be less of a concern. I think the real ticket is your current retro graphic (or similar) with an updated colorway - predominantly red and black.

His current set isn't even a year old. I don't think he's too worried about the white discoloration that happens coretech skin.

The turning red was annoying but not enough to make me not get any white again. I'm not doing digit print this time sadly because I need new skates and a chest protector. Even with the wonderful discounts I have for working retail it's a lot of money. Lucky I have a good graphic to work with unlike some of the previous supreme models

All red I don’t trust the white with bauer it’s always go yellow with time 

My current set is turning red in some spots, mostly by where my blocker sits on my left pad

Maybe this makes things easier side by side. Adding to the fact that I have to much time

Jerseys are at the end for reference

Feel free to make different designs if you think mine suck or just tell me I should do digi-print again lol

Here are two more to add to the fold. I have too much time on my hands

Interesting that bauer labeled his custom specific colored Mach graphic as digiprint on the boot of the pads and glove backhand

Good eye. Seems he's worn Supreme gear historically too, so my theory of it being a Vapour pad with the alternate skin doesn't hold. 

Though, since he's in Ultrasonic gear or S60, I wonder if they used Digiprint because of that? Though Oettinger's Shadow pads (ultrasonics) are listed as Shadow. 

So who knows. 

Its a digiprint graphic. The accents of the mach design are more prominent and its all one layer with no texturing unlike the actual ones. Also the way the front of his pads are gold and then it cuts off to the black on the back is custom only. The real graphics had zones that wrapped around and such

Do you mean the finger protection is one piece?

Looks like Mach finger protection with the traditional Supreme (US/2S/1S) cuff. 

Yep

Thompson with a new home set tonight. I’ve never seen this glove backhand from Bauer where its one piece

That is in no way a flop. He definitely stuck out his leg to trip (or at least block the path), but that is certainly not a flop. Not sure how you managed to read that as such, frankly.

His upper body was twisting before contact was made (plus there was no upper body contact). Right leg was twisting as contact was made and not due to the left leg movement forcing it. 

A lot of the movement was done in anticipation of the contact coming and not due to the actual contact. 

He stuck out his leg knowing that there was a guarantee of contact in the crease and exaggerated his movements accordingly. 

AKA a flop.

I doooonnnnnnn’t knowwww

I think he stuck his leg out knowing the chance for contact was there, however the guy shouldn’t have been skating there anyway. Prosvetov was on the goal line. I can attest to the upper body twisting like that when the lower body gets violently torqued like that. Maybe he sold it a little once he was on the ground but the way he fell looks real to me. I just think he knew what he was doing

can't find a good enough pic of it but the one he was using had stock shoulders not cut like that one

Almost 100 percent sure he uses a custom grip. Could've sworn the pro return snowman posted is it.

my favourite Prosvetov highlight is when we booed him out of the arena in Abbotsford because he was a flopper. 

Managed to rattle him to let in 5 goals and give the old toss the arms up move to the crowd as he got pulled. 

good times.

Another shadow stick here from Prosvetov. Love the burgundy here. Plus a Vapor 90 in the AHL/NHL

Also, this might be the best mask of the year imo

Has anyone had the luxury of comparing a Brians sr medium and a bauer sr medium or large side by side? If so would love to hear how they fit.

Went with a mach for a solid deal, hopefully this lasts past the juniors camps coming up

Not sure what paddle size you use but if you can start getting into pro returns they have far outlasted my retail sticks. Also custom sticks from Bauer have always done well for me.

A few unicorn candidates came to my mind today while fixing the Reactor 9000 blocker. That model is considered very good blocker and actually quite rare too. Now you can get it through Bauer custom. I'll be comparing R9000 and Vapor 1X soon.

The other one from gloves is of course Koho/RBK/CCM/Lefevre/True 580 catcher. That was very rare piece even when you could get it through custom, and only now it is really coming into the market. I'm waiting if it will replace the 600 or 590 in the stores.

The 600 is about dead. Eflex is now a 580 continuation and axis is staying as a 590. True may still have 600s at retail but interesting is slipping

Those Koho's were epic. I'd appluad them.

Lol

Here’s to a “unicorn” in 2018. Probably just your average gear to most of you guys on here

And then who enters the dressing room but Mats Sundin and says "cool gear kid" to your son while giving everyone else the death stare  

I hope thats a real story. I got made fun of for wearing koho’s when I was younger and they were from like 2016, when goalie monkey brought them back with Hiller. Got made fun of for having “90s” gear until I showed everyone my instagram dm from Jonas himself telling me my gear was awesome! One of my best moments all time.

I have a pair of new in bag with tags attached pair of Rbk (Jofa) 7k shin guards that I got from the Flyers years ago. I presumed my kids would want to use them. They're from the long since closed Jofa factory in Sweden, so they're amazing. All the pros use these - they have the removable liners and all. 

I actually listed them on Sideline for $500 as they are 'unicorns" now since they are new in the bag. I have like 20 watching them but nobody has offered anything reasonable yet.

Nobody younger will appreciate these, especially at $500. Kids my age will just buy whatever is new regardless of preference. Might find some people in their late 30s or early 40s who are interested

The store I work for has a pro sharp. We sell the steel stock no matter what kind and its up to people to profile if they choose. I would just buy the Ls5 of bauer’s site they usually have it and then go to your local store for the profile. From my experience though, the LS5 black steel isn’t worth it. It doesn’t last any longer than my stainless or hold an edge better. As far as the profiles, I’ve tried them all never noticed a difference with any of them. Just my 2 cents

Not that I was planning on it but he’s dead unfortunately so not too much of a concern there

WHA is easy:

LA Aces/LA Sharks/ Michigan Stags/ Balt. Blades: Jason Vorhees

Whalers: Not sure of this dude. But the mask...

Raiders/ Golden Blades/ Jersey Knights/ SD Mariners: Whoever the Jersey Knights goalie was. They played in Cherry Hill at a rink crappier than any rink out there today. No locker rooms, no showers, uphill ice.... legends.

Miami/ Philly Blazers/ Vancouver/ Calgary Cowboys: Bernie Parent

Phx Roadrunners: TBD

SF Sharks/ Quebec Nordiques: TBD

Winnipeg Jets (WHA): TBD

The Chicago Cougars are my team’s crosstown rivals lol. Almost the same jersey design now as well

Jonathan Quick and Fleury are pretty out there. They end up making a lot more crazy saves compared to others mostly due to their playstyle

How tall is Bob? 6'1, 6'2? Playing with a stick of like 24" less has to feel so different. I'm not Bob of course but at 6'2, 25" is my max lowest I can go without crippling my 5 hole on corner deflections. 

That might explain the low low wide stances so many use.

I’m 6’2 using 26s shaved like this (this is Askarov’s mine looks a lot more like a garage project)

I’ve never measured how much I cut off or anything but its somewhere in the 24.5/25 range I’m guessing. In other words its super short for my height by “older” people’s standards
