Submitted my order a few days ago. Now the long wait begins... Definitely straying from my normal colorway for fun. Vegas gold and silver should be nice. 

Anything different with the 6s vs the 5s?

Would be nice if they gave you the option of where to set the QMSS  strap, like the 1s or 2s, nice option to have. 

Any new knee guards coming out? Jock? In this lineup....

I'm so frustrated by all the legit sites that sell real pro adidas jerseys.  All I want is a genuine adidas nhl Canes jersey in 58G+ or 60G with logos but no name and number.  I've called a dozen companies and always get the same story - they tell me adidas doesn't sell goalie jerseys to the public and no one will even try to special order me one.

WTF why not? There are literally thousands of goalies in the world that would buy one if they could get it, it just doesn't make sense.

My only option so far is to try and find a prostock on Ebay or Sideline, and IF you can find one they want $350 or $400 for it.  That's just ridiculous.......

I just hope when Fanatics takes over that they will sell some damn goalie jerseys..............

That's why in China they will recreate any jersey for me. Print, of course. I have done it a few times and got a Canes 3rd jersey. This pic is probably 8 or 9 years old. 

What's Woll wearing?

Bob looks good v. Toronto tonight.

I doubt he will all series, and I still expect Lyon to come in.

It was pretty apparent Ullmark wasn't himself. Regardless, this feels like the Bruins trying to save face for being embarrassed on the national stage. 

They had a back up with a record of 24-6-4 and they didn't put him in till game 7.

So either they had zero faith in Swayman (??), the Bruins coaching staff is incompetent as fuck, or Ullmark didn't want to give up the crease in an ego move. 

Since it's the Bruins, I'm going to go with all three. 

Cuz fuckem 

The Bruins had bigger issues than just goaltending.  Heading noose that Krejci and Bergy weren't 100%  

Leafs with home ice advantage throughout the playoffs! Flordia shocking the Burins, wow.

I have them, and even though they look bigger vs other models I don't feel any restrictions vs the original yellow ones, or the other models that came into market after as they all look alike. I barley get hit in the knees but they look protective enough. 

I saw the last Leafs playoffs series win lol and I really hope they go down again, this time in 6 I think and Dubas is out of here so they start making some moves. Still don't have the team for it. 

I have these skates, custom and I love them. 

Point of advice on 3mm blade, go 1/2 inch at least. 

I requested 4mm blade, and you will feel more comfortable with it most likely. They put a black steel 4mm blade for me. I was the first to have it in the market few years back. Maybe they provide regular steel now. 

Good luck. 

Bauer now comes in 3 sizes I believe, Small, Medium, and Large.

The 960 is an absolute beauty, I recommend.

It’s like when the NHL made a ton of adjustments after the season lost to the lockout in 2004-2005. There will be a lot of moaning and some growing pains, but it will be a better product. 

There is a difference here though, the nhl just completely changed the game of hockey and within the rules and added more excitement for the dying franchises in the States.

CCM tests these pads and I'm pretty sure that speed skin came on top which is also what I went with. 

Not having any issues sliding around with it or lack there of.

Wow! thanks so much everybody! Great things for me to consider

You could always go back to 4mm blade, which is something you might be used to, all preference. I couldn't deal with the 3mm blade myself.

Didn't realize I never posted a photo of this - here's a picture of the wear on the boot strap. This is happening to both pads.

Happened to both pads within 10 skates. The red color is kind of plastic-y and I assume it is glued to the leather boot strap, but it comes off very easily.

Have you tried ditching it? I wore it on all my pads the last 11 years. While I had my Axis 1 I just took it off, haven't looked back.

Im an off the charts 8 4E+ and Ive now given up on these skates. 

My custom skate size is about a 7.75 EEEE in a custom bauer, I also have a very flat foot with almost no arch

The shop had me try a size 8 as well as a size 9, went with the 8 since the 9 felt loose front to back even without baking.

Ive had my skates baked a couple times but I just cant get rid of foot pain on my arch/side of foot.  Just cant get the size 8 boot wide enough to fit my hobbit feet.  I love the ankle flex these provide but have gone back to my custom bauers/Trues and now appreciate how comfortable they are

Nothing like a custom skate my friend. Forget these.

Is the Prolite modified or taped at all? Did 2-3" of the shaft get shortened yet?

Nothing modified, fresh stick. 

Axis 2 gloves game ready feels like a Pro (stiff), I barley had to work my Axis 1 glove.

Can someone supply weights for the highest end Bauer goalie sticks in a 26" Hyperlite, 26" Supreme Mach and then the 2nd price point in both of those models? Hard to find concrete info.

I had a conversation with someone, and I can't recall if it was the Mach or Hyperlite but it weight as much as my CCM Pro Lite I believe.  I think it was the Mach but don't quote me on it.

Andersen was the face of Bauer early on I believe. I remember the commercials.
