Why do they not make these as retail? Id buy a pair of Nexus gloves in a second if they looked this clean. The nexus graphic for me is a huge turn off.

Can we do an MSH order of just black with white Bauer lettering? What’s the minimum? I’ve been trying to find a ventless Nexus glove for years but 13 inch pro stocks are non existent.

Another shot of these team Nexus gloves. Agree they should be a retail Bauer 4-roll offering!

Not anything exotic or overly fancy, but decided my Escape was bigger than I needed, so I traded it in a couple weeks ago for a Focus. Has the winter package. Heated seats, steering wheel and mirrors, with remote start. All features I've never had in a vehicle before, so I'm enjoying it. Also enjoying filling up for less than $40 and having that last over a week.

Howdy, I've washed a couple pair of gloves by just soaking them in a tub of hot water / oxy clean, then running them through a washer (Prefer a front loader, but I'm pretty sure I've used a top loader w/agitator too). Air dry. No issues. As much as our hands sweat, I don't worry at all about soaking gloves in terms of damage or whatever. YMMV. Mark

Lidstrom's Eastons were the same way; they were reverse-engineered Bauer 4000s. Wore those for a long time under different looks until they forced him to wear Synergy boots - I sharpened his skates before he went to training camp; Easton was on the 1500 model and his were the originals! Did that for a year then switched to Warrior (and Bauer for skates.) Graf did not make Nike skates for Fedorov.

That's the CCM F-I-T machine. They were expensive back in the day (2002 I believe, debuted with the CCM 1152 line of skates); most shops didn't get one. They were notoriously finicky - I had one in one of my stores back in the day and inherited another one from a shop that closed. I was really never a fan of them. The main reason was because most used it wrong; they would crank the laces on their skates and then put them in. Found a thread on MSH about it, even. Do a search on CCM Fit Machine on Google and you'll see what it looks like. That's the definition of a vacuum fit. Superfeet used to have a vacuum fitting method for their insoles as well.

In the 90’s, old Microns and Daousts were semi-dressed as Bauers; “semi” because not as completely as the ClassicOnes or Mosocas (Bourque, Konstantinov, Ysebaert, Brown). Nike did it with their earliest skates, adding Nike branding and the overall weird extra vents and panels to what I’ve read were usually Supreme skates. I’ve also read Graf made some of Fedorov’s and Kovalev’s Nikes, but I’ve never come across visual evidence of that in either case. I’m especially skeptical when it comes to Kovalev because I’ve never come across any image or footage of him wearing Grafs. Brian Rafalski is maybe the most interesting example of dressed skates I know of. After switching from Tacks to Mission Amp Flys, he didn’t wear another skate until Mission was bought out and he jumped into V60s. Yet, through that period from 2001 to 2009, Rafalski’s Amp Flys were dressed to match Mission’s current offering as much as possible (originals, 1st, 2nd, 3rd dressing).

Once a year I soak all of my protective gear in the tub in oxy clean, then rinse it off. I was worried about the effect on my palms, but I saw someone (like marka) point out that sweating into them is more or less the same as water. Ive never had any problem with any ill effect on any of my stuff. I don’t notice a difference in palm feel at all. I tend to use 2nd tier gloves, so I don’t have baby kangaroo leather, just synthetic nash stuff.

They mostly line up.... But they are a nightmare to mount since they are carbon and have zero flex.

Knew a guy that used to wear latex surgical gloves under his hockey gloves. He was a germaphobe.

Nexus Team glove, we use them through the Pure Hockey QuickTeam program, very sharp looking glove....and yep, that's definitely one of Danny's twigs. 77 flex most likely, P91 and Flyers color scheme.

Possibly Nexus "Team" variety gloves? I forget if they all had backhand graphics. Like these; https://sidelineswap.com/gear/hockey/gloves/646327-bauer-new-youngstown-phantoms-4-roll-15-g72 And maybe using some of his dad's old sticks? Probably the most likely explanation, but i cant tell if the graphics are red or orange

The 2X looks good, its the 2X Pro that has the yellow on them 😞
