Are these the luxe gloves?

Yes

[zachary 2]

Saw these on IceThetics, though they were pretty cool. Johnny Canuck practice jerseys.

After looking at your post earlier I've been wanting one of those lol. I think I need to make my own.

[skyscrape 5]

Yes

They look good! The more I see them...the more I want them!

^ So there is hope after all...

[JR Boucicaut 3759]

...those aren't Vapors.

Coupled with the fact that it is McGill...wow, that's early.

[jbatafuco 6]

Total ones?

[JR Boucicaut 3759]

2012 Supreme line.

McGill University and Bauer have a testing program, amongst other things.

[Dupes 1]

I will try and take a look at them closely this weekend at the McGill rink.

[raganblink 82]

beautiful skates.

I hope this wasn't already posted.

you can see on the rear tower of the right skate some writing

[JR Boucicaut 3759]

Every skate that is tested is marked. That way, they know when that model was made, what revision, how long it was tested for, and so on and so forth.

They keep every model they test.

Time to go to bed; pretty sure my email box will be blowing up in the AM.

[HockeySavants 5]

I think those are better looking than the Total Ones.

I'm guessing they will be Total 2?

I could be way off base, but in the picture the tendon guard looks like it's made out of a rubbery flexible material. Also, at the bottom of the tendon guard there's a red area that may be the flex point and the player in question has taped the right tendon guard to his shin, but not the left. Perhaps he's trying to compare the feeling of the flexible tendon guard to a rigid one by using the tape or the right guard was damaged and he's holding it up with the tape.

[Jason 65]

There is something covering the right tendon guard too. You can't see the red thing at all. Those skates look siiiiiiiiick! I much prefer the look and color scheme to the T1's. I'm pretty sure the "Total" part of the name will be dropped, seeing as that was from Nike. Why don't they just call it the Supreme 1. Almost makes me disappointed that I just got my custom T1's. However, these guys aren't due until spring of 2012. I can't wait that long. JR is right. Crazy early!

I am sorry for posting the pic again, but look at the slight bulge down near the hosel of the blade. That doesn't look like "True One Piece" to me. It is a cool picture though. He is a big guy! I always thought he had on bulky shoulder pads with the way he fills out the jersey.

[Jason 65]

That's because he's 235lbs.

[Louie 28]

Those 2012 Bauers look a lot like MLX Skates.

pictures not working for me :(. i take one night off from checking MSH and i miss a big one.

[DolomaticDangles 13]

I was thinking that too, Louie. The heel sticks out weird, and the whole shape of the back just reminds me of MLX. I was wondering how long it would take for a company to put a flexible tendon guard on their skates (that's what it appears to be, at least..)

[JR Boucicaut 3759]

But the Supreme has had a flexible tendon guard in the ONE90, and the TotalONE's tendon guard is flexible as well. IT was NOT a MLX innovation.

The foxing (plastic heel piece) is what is throwing you off. It does not look any different than a TotalONE.

[chippa13 1844]

Surprised that Bauer hasn't requested the picture to be taken down. Either they're loosening up a little or they haven't heard yet.

[skyscrape 5]

That's because he's 235lbs.

Yeah. Im talking about the shoulders. I thought he was wearing bigger caps.

[AIREAYE 248]

McGill also has a course or studies program that focuses just on the bio mechanics of everything hockey. Stride, shot, you name it. Just a heads up for any Gr.11's/HS Juniors out there
