  1. usually around $165 cdn I Think. A friend got me one for X-Mas and it's been great. Been shot a ton in the collarbone and throat area without any injuries.
  2. i re-tried the 2S and CCM 600 - it does feel very similar, despite some minor differences. with my list, it's purely based on how it felt on my hand, so it may not be completely accurate
  3. Kinda true with the 2s as it feels like it's in between, but I always thought the supreme line always tried to copy a 590 but couldn't? Dude the new ve8 1 piece literally is a CCM 590 clone. They tried and tried and finally managed to clone it

    I have to agree with Kirk. I couldn't tell the difference.
  5. I personally think with gloves, to simply try it on. Just relying on break angles do not always provide accurate hand feel. CCM 590 = Vaughn VE8 1 piece = Genetik = Bauer 2S CCM600 = Vaughn PVE/VE8 2 piece/SLR (a bit modified) CCM 580 = Brian's Subzero = Bauer 1X/2X. Warrior doesn't really count as I don't notice THAT much of a difference when switching liners since the glove itself is still the same. NOTE: This is just what I feel when I try them out. REsults may vary.
  6. Weird. I'm a 35 warrior and had to go to a 34 CCM premier 2. Maybe because I don't play with a boot strap and have long toe ties? (1.5-2")

    It's all good. I couldn't go this weekend anyway. I will be there next weekend to put a skate lace pocket in my new glive

    It impressed me, and I only just tried it on. I'm glad, Kirk, that you guys always seem to be able to update your gear with what the public wants. There's many a thing that I have Tinkered with Warrior gear since the G2 and the mods I have made always magically find an iteration of it on newer line gear. It's nice to know I'm not crazy and other people think of it too.

    Also, on that note, I got a great deal at GM for the GT1 pro classic blocker and G4 pro classic trapper. Now all I gotta do is wait for the new THS spec GT2 pads to come in......royal blue and white. CAN'T WAAAAIT

    I saw it already. The glove closes WAY better. I actually liked it more than the GT (it felt weird on my hand). THe palm is beefy with some extra padding over the break area too. Blocker's about the same. I had a chance to also inspect the new chesty and I think it's going to be a big hit. The arms are well beefed up at the forearm and bicep, elbow floaters have TWO flaps instead of the usual 1, and the heart/stomach pad is now a proper, significant center piece. There's also a lot of little details around that helps with long term wear areas, etc. Hell. You should hit me up and we should go see this TOGETHER

    Apparently the G4's will have weave soon too.......

    Got to look at the gt2s this past weekend. The new glove feels MUCH better and beefier. Closes great and feels very similar to a CCM 60 degree. The chesty I think has the biggest change. Integrated suspender loops on the shoulder floaters, vertical protection strips where the body meets side protection, and the new arms are waaay beefier and tougher. Floaters and bicep pads are much thicker. The unit is a tad heavier but the protection is way better on an already robust unit. It'll be my next one.
  15. I don't have many action shots but these are just a couple of me standing around watching the play. The second one is when the play was come down and me slightly adjusting my position

    I'm just glad the landing blocks' size is not so small like the first one.
  17. I just found out......Sportmask X8 cages fit Eddy GT's....

    I heard the landing blocks will be wider, but not as much as the G4.

    I have massive velcro wear issues with my p2.9s. the large strap behind the calf already lost half the hard velcro, due to the lack of tabs to pull them off after use. The soft side velcro is missing chunks. The knee to calf elastic velcro, is starting to wear, again, due to lack of a pull tab. The toe bindings are wearing with the threading popping in several areas. Both protrusions on the ice facing side of the landing blocks have detached and rode to the inside, causing me to lose balance when sliding. Upon inspection, they were just glued in with fuckin glue gun glue in 2 small spots. The landing block themselves have started to bend and bow, with one of the blocks cracking halfway through. The speedskin side, on the knee and calf landing, where it meets the nylon, is cut too close to the sliding edge. The nylon to speedskin edge is now starting to rub and wear as i keep using them. I have been MASSIVELY disappointed by these pads given the engineering and design flaws. All the wear areas are fucking unacceptable. I've only had these since june, playing about 3 games a week. I will be going back to my Warriors given i have NEVER had wear issues with their senior level g2 or g3 gear. This stuff is insulting at best.
