Amiroo39 121 Report post Posted December 10, 2014 To be honest I think its because the 8000/1000 matches their uniforms pretty well. I doubt they're all using a true Nexus flex profile.Agreed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Neo5370 132 Report post Posted December 10, 2014 The X1 stick looks exactly like the APX 2 LE.I'm not a fan of the look of the skates as all, especially given the APX2 (IMO) was the best looking vapor skate ever made.From far away they look pretty underwhelming but from leaked up close pics on other sites, they look really nice to me. As for best vapor graphics wise, I like the XXX. The lines and they way they wrapped/contoured made them look like a really sleek running shoe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chippa13 1844 Report post Posted December 11, 2014 That's going to be the new Bruins practice facility. They are finally moving out of the dump of Ristuccia. The place did have good ice but that was about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Neo5370 132 Report post Posted December 11, 2014 I wonder what abortion of a graphics package CCM's gonna use to re-brand the RBK skates. The whole side panel is one giant vector logo. Maybe they'll just throw the letters "CCM" on the sides, kinda like what Nike did w/ thesehttp://www.csneaker.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/07/Nike-Air-More-Uptempo-Mens-Shoe.jpg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If so, a lot of people are going to be happy. So a medium is equal to a size 4 in the JOFA/RBKs, right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's actually quite the opposite. The rebranded Ribcor skates look fantastic. IMO CCM has the sleekest looking products this upcoming season. They should do really well.

flip12 699 Report post Posted December 12, 2014 Well that clears that up, thanks.I guess because he's down an eyelet, you can't see the tongue behind the shotblocker?It's pretty smart. He was down an eyelet without anything over the tongue like that at least in his rookie year. This way he can keep his shin guards short like he likes but still with the added ankle protection of longer shin pads. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
