    The most popular neck guard used in the NHL is Vaughn.

    I would try this before using the heat gun. The shell is really not that pliable other than "wrapping" over the top of the foot. Another option is to rebake the liners.

    Try wearing the lower buckle looser. The top buckle is supposed to be super snug and bottom just tight enough to hold. Might be squishing his foot.

    Comment about baking....check! Now just waiting for the "You'll ruin your skates if you bake them at home!"

    What's with all the CCM mask guys going to Pro Choice? I get the pad to Lefevre/True...

    175-180. Leave it on the whole time too. As long as it is convection.

    I did. I have been baking skates at home for a long time, but I do have a convection oven. I did the whole Konekt process at home.

    I’ve found the best way to get the liners right is to first bake following the normal instructions. Once the skates are cooled, rebake just the liners for 4 minutes and readjust. This way, the shell is already formed and you get a better liner mold vs having a soft liner and shell during the regular process. Konekt hack! I highly recommend! :)

    What is going on with this skate? Seen a few pros with similar boot…

    You’ll want the toe sleeves to help make room for your feet and also not leave “grooves” or indents from toes. You could make your own or I would contact Bauer and have them ship a pair.

    This is my mod for Pro Laces. Tie the lace through the loop in the liner and then place UNDER the lower buckle so it doesn’t have tension on it. Leave enough slack so you can slide velcro staps through. Better than having anything directly attached to the buckles!

    Haters going to hate until they actually try these. Bauer rarely if ever has a miss in the skate category.
  13. Hockeygoalie111
    He means when the skate is on the foot. You are supposed to really clamp down the top strap to avoid movement and take full advantage of the flex. The lower strap is meant to be snug, but not cranked down.

    Is there an obituary for him?

    Also, the longevity of the liner and if the metal pieces are prone to rusting. Curious if the liners are to be removed between skates. Interesting there are no vent ports/drains in the bottom of the shell.
  16. Hockeygoalie111
    The Konekt will be an interesting release for sure. Curious to see if this becomes an industry standard or if it goes the way of "MyFlex" Bauer pads.

    That’s really sad. Always loved his style of writing and happy attitude! I will miss his frequent posts on here. RIP

    It's just mold/sweat. Au naturel.

    Here is the chart:

    I am confused with the new Bauer "Game Fit" sizing. At the top of the chart, it lists foot size and then converts to what size skate you would need. Does this now run true to size? For instance, if your foot size is 10, it says you need a 10 skates. Typically, your shoe size is 1.5 sizes bigger than the skate size. Thanks for any clarification!

    Love the old "B" Bauer logo on the top. What is the difference with a game ready palm and adding 3mm of poron VS. just getting a pro palm? How much thicker is the standard Pro palm?
  22. Hockeygoalie111
    I believe Smith wears the old Reebok grey knee pads. Wonder if he has the standard black knee cap or the modified Swiss version.
  23. Hockeygoalie111
    I've used both and feel the CCM Pro are the better option. They are bulkier, but I do like the protection and I think they are more comfortable to land on. You won't know until you try the Bauer...
  24. Hockeygoalie111
    My biggest concern with these is the lack of "wrap" protection around the inner knee and thigh like the CCM Pro or Bauer Pro knee pads have. These look great for head on shots, but what about the one timer across the crease that catches you on the inside knee area? The price is unreal and I could not justify spending that much money. Knee pads should be no more than $150. Just my two cents!

    They spelled his name wrong on the boot!!!!
