I would definitely accept these as a gift

So the difference is barely noticeable? My GT, said to be a 70 is almost in between. Having tried the Bauer 9000 and the JRZ Fusion, both 60, the difference is somewhat noticeable compared to my GT.

I think a retail sewn 75 and a custom whatever-you-want should be the way to go. Not sure if it's been mentioned but, is it not ironic that the goalie testing the G6 overseas is a Smith himself? Smith testing "by Smith". Just pointing out

Had a chance to compare to their 75?

Clearly a 2 piece boot if you've noticed the hinge dot at the ankle bone. It will be interesting to know what kind of materials will be used. I'm expecting a composite, something like plastic/carbon/rubber, for flex yet rigidity and protection. Obviously a mold injection approach. Weight should be mid range.

So what's the 411 on these? Anymore leaks anywhere? Any ETA info?

And this is where the butterfly catcher and blocker shots pay off

Those old Sher-Wood shoulder pads Chelios and company used to wear right

Brown, Bauer, Mckenney GPX1, are some of the brands that use the one unit sweater like set-up and you either have the arms measured to the proper length (as with Brown) or simply adjust it with the velcro pulls available.

I'm waiting for another TT moment when a pro will skate on with a different logo-less brand that isn't part of the NHL agreement. Last season's blank True users don't count, we all knew it was gonna happen anyways.

I like the oval side walls like on my TGC Reebok P1 but mine are kinda thin and they tend to curve like concave. Wonder if the original Koho did the same. I remember my H5 pro had the same walls but much thicker.

Pretty much anything and everything thrown at them will be debated as right or wrong or justifiable or not. It is a big pile of shit and it smells bad. I hope Beach can still find redemption and still play his heart out in Germany where he's currently posted.

The sum is greater than the one. The interest of the Hawks owner(s) and GM and President and coach and other staff and other team members/players who were all aware of the situation or a sense of it should be penalised in the strongest way possible, as should those governing the NHL offices at the time who again might of known of something. The cups will most likely not be removed but will forever be linked to this dark moment. If anything, the Hawks should be banned from this season's playoffs from the get-go, but that would be unlikely as Bettman's interests in the finance of the series is far greater. It would be a terrible loss for the new guys in who have nothing to do with it. It's a dark mess that is not new in sports and will likely resurface again somewhere sometime and expose again some unfortunate victims.

Well look'e here

I actually own one of those. Despite going "All'en" with my efforts, I wouldn't be his level

This stick. OMG! Saw it at the Habs vs Sharks game (online). If them sticks weren't so expensive though

Sexy pads

If they only knew. Unless a brand plays a sponsor role in their coaching school/clinics, there is no rhyme or reason to be biased. The problem even leaks into stores where most brands present are CCM/Bauer/Vaughn. I had one store owner flat out tell me that he won't carry Warrior gear because it's "not legal". I had to byte my tongue hard. Throw in JRZ, McKenney, Passau, Kenesky...all top notch brands that all had their hands in the show working for the popular crowd at one time or another, and yet few know of them.

I would love to own one of those beauty

Thanks. I'm not an expert either but I have lost 2 chest pads because mold somehow got into them despite my strict after game routine.

Talk about keeping it in the neutral zone. A little more effort with the helmet and he could of been this guy

I'm looking into a piece of equipment right now and there is some slight damage but it's hard to identify off the bat if it's mold or some other kind of damage. See pic. I also thought it would be a good topic of discussion for knowing how to recognise it and when to know if it can be salvaged or it will only get worse and cause spread on the rest of your gear or even cause skin and health issues (breathing in spores).

It's about time you filthy animal!! Enjoy brother.

Are you saying more exports than imports? China? Naw, can't be

.70cents?!? SOLD
