Just pulled the trigger on these G5's. 

My Bauer experiment is over. I wanted to try my hand at a stiff pad and I like certain aspects to it, but there were a lot of drawbacks that weren't for me. 

I think all it's done is reaffirm what I've known for a while now. Warrior is just better, 

 

Always back to your toy, you could have at least matched it to the oven and join the dark side!

If it’s anything like other ccms then the shaft will snap

I've had good luck with them though, maybe had 1 or 2 shafts break and most lasted.  We'll see this one.

It’s a Mach. Apologies for the wait. Yes the thin section on the top of the blade has cracked from a shot judging by the tape before I took it off. 

It's a nice looking stick, with the same price point I went with the eflex pro lite, let's see how long that lasts.

I'm going to guess True Hzrdus based on previous postings...

 The squares on his blade are upside down lol can't see him wasting money on the True haha I see a hint of that yellow line that can be True, but a Bauer stick as well....the suspense....

Eflex 5 vs the Eflex 5 Pro Lite and there is a big difference, both 26

Kinda sad because I love playing the puck with this stick. I’ll still use it until it fully snaps

Bauer?

Was desperate for a stick, since black set is coming in September Eflex 5 pro lite

Gave up of the grafs?

It's official gang, as per our RDS (French version of TSN), Carey Price will not play next season and is now on the long term injury list. I saw it coming. It's unfortunate for him and the team but now all hope is on Allen. I hope he's ready. 

Are they taking a play from lou lamoriello? What's going on over there exactly? 

If Allen is ready or not I don't think matters. It's a tank season.

Lol that mask is sick it was $5  when I got it probably 10 years ago and a friend of mine wrote Bauer sucks on it 
 

As for the vocab I could start calling things fire and raw if you would like?

I like the mask, 

Very very much!

I was rocking a pair of bauer pro's for a while, came from CCM Premier 1.9's, and the difference was really noticeable. They were super light compared to my CCM's and the protection was good, can't think of any stingers. Only reason I went back to my Premiers was that the bauers didn't match my new set . As soon as I've got the cash I'm getting a new pair.

Pros would be lighter than the 1.9. 

Love the ccm pants, wore most of every generation the last 6 years even though they upgrade it only in a few areas as they are basically the same. I do tuck.

I did use the nxg Buers and from what I remember is that they were too stiff, harder shells. 

I like the ccms better, the Axis does have the extra padding as the above picture as the new ccm pro.  It's the same pants just a new name.  

It's a pain in the ass but need to start editing them videos. Another reason why I stopped, just too much time haha. 

Way to go though!

Is your Axis stock or custom? My impression is that custom products, especially those for the pros, are better than the stock products in terms of materials and quality. 

All custom. But why would it be any different if it comes from the same factory most likely.

I genuinely don't understand why people buy this stuff. I live in a hockey void (greetings from Oregon) and some of the kids I coach and other goalies I play in adult league with will get these gloves and have these issues. I've had junior gloves on my hand that are engineered like complete trash and are uncloseable even with two hands (like, at best part of it comes together but there's no seal). All the Bauer gloves I've tried on have felt nice, the Vaughn gloves nice but stiff, and the (I am biased) Brian's gloves have always worked wonders for me. Closest convert glove for me thus far has been the Hyperlite, haven't gotten to try a Mach on.

I've had an Axis 1 game ready 590 on my hand that was broken in and it could close, but it was still stiffer than my propalm glove. Additionally, I've had a 590 propalm EF5 on my hand and could close it too, the glove was a beat in practice glove for Gianuzzi (Winterhawks) that one of my students got, so it's been broken in nice.

I really feel like they're coasting on brand recognition here and their CHL deals.

Pure Hockey has it as Vietnam for Axis, Axis 2, Axis 2.9, EF5, EF5.9, then China for EF4 products.

My P2 pro glove, not the best, stiff AF.  lefevre built that. 

My Axis game ready is like butter and love it.  Too much hate for no reason.

I did really like the change from 2X Pro skates to the Franken-Grafs with an XSG holder. I made the change because the 2X Pro were hurting my feet and I associated that with the skate as a whole (boot & holder.) I had to be much more mindful of how I tighten the 2X Pro vs. Graf. Too tight on the 2X Pro and my feet really hurt/went numb. Could be the boot, could be the pitch of the holder, could be a princess and the pea situation, not real sure. The Graf/XSG combination is more comfortable though. 

That said, I've been wearing the 2X Pro again (and omitting the top eyelet) just to see if I could get used to it again before I dive into a pair on Konekt. Working out pretty well. Still have to be very mindful of how tight they're tied. But it was my impression that Bauer wouldn't offer the Konekt boot alone. I say boot alone as (and I could be wrong here) I wouldn't want any more holes drilled into the boot than absolutely necessary.  

I just wish Konekt was available already... take my money!!

I love the 2x skate as a whole but like you it wasn't right for me. My right foot would be numb like crazy!

I even went a half size bigger, E skate. Ultimately I had to pull the trigger on a custom CCM skate, difference maker!! Just wow

I'm same height, add 10-15 lbs, broad and not so sure of the wingspan but, I had a Large GT2 Pro and it was ok. I'm sure you (we) could get away with an XL but it really depends on how you like to fit in your unit. Do you tuck or not? Are you long in the torso? Do you wanna look massive or be normal? All questions you can focus on to help make a decision. Try hitting up @Kirk3190, he can be of more help.

I've been wearing Large sizes pretty much all my adult life and just recently bought an XL unit and I thing I chose the wrong size all those years. Depends on the model/brand as well.

If I'm 5'11 wearing a large you guys,are definitely XL

Look, at least Tor is trying to get good ones. The Blackhawks signed Petr Mrozek; nothing personal, he's been around and guess he's ok but with this team, "ok" is not going to work. The 'Hawks are basically a mens league team. If he doesnt have a conflict with school or a junior or national team commitment, bring up Commesso and see what he's got. Going to be another long winter here and it will only get worse: Toews and Kane dont have enough time left for a rebuild. They'll probably waive their no trade clauses. 

Chicago doing all this to start the ultimate rebuild. They must.

Double goalie trade. Guess Talbots agent really pissed off Bill Guerin enough to force the trade as Guerin said he wasn't going do it

Why did the Sens give up a better, younger goalie for an nhl hooker.
