  1. I feel as there is less variations and secret sauce stuff. But the 2000s was certainly fun for that “Fleury foam/ strapping.” The orange Easton suspender at one time had this reputation as it kept popping up after Easton closed down. The closest thing I can think of now, is like Pro only stuff, such as the 2S based glove a lot of guys use. More guys in the NHL are using the 4.1 gear over the Hzrdus stuff. But I wouldn’t say they’re nearly as coveted to be true Unicorn’s.
  2. Price actually started this at the end of his career, albeit with a leather strap instead of nylon.
  3. Those started to pop up in clearance. I upgraded from Heaton neckguard I’ve had for 20 years. The materials do feel thin, and I can see them wearing out but mines been good in the 15 times I’ve worn it. It is rock hard when cold and gel when warm I find. Overall I’ve enjoyed it. If I could change anything it would be a dip on the front of the neck like some of the Roughneck ones. And I’d like a dip at the back as I’ve had my backplate catch on it on occasion. I am thinking on looking up Dave Wilcox or someone to reskin it in the summer if that were even possible.

  5. I think you’re fine to use that. I removed the tune fit on my old 2X and it was no problem.
  6. Scott Wedgewood rocking a Bauer blocker with True graphic. Green’s don’t line up perfectly.
  7. I added the Vapor professor strap and enjoy it better. It’s to hard to say exactly how it felt. It worked enough, it could secure your leg in there but I felt like it wasn’t designed to be there, maybe that was more mental that physical.
  8. Yes, it worked well enough. I ended up switching back.
  9. I believe the pads are second set received at Christmas. And he’s still using the original set gloves.
  10. Fair I guess. But if the lack of a wrist strap was essential, the True guys would be wearing CCM. As you said all the Bauer guys have the option of a glove without a wrist strap and choose gloves with one.
  11. Phenomenal graphic, however it seems CCM printing process is still having issues.
  12. I don’t think that sample size really says much in comparison to the True 580 users who use do use a wrist strap, with quite a few still using leather wrist straps.
  13. I say this is less shocking than the graphic considering the most used glove at the NHL level is the 2S based custom break. Heck, most guys haven’t adopted the cuff-less design of the Mach.
