Hello. Can Anyone remember if the Bauer Supreme one80 was the top of the line shin pads…back roughly 10 years ago? I found a brand new pair…for cheap, and I’m thinking of getting them. But, I only like the top Elite Level stuff…that’s usually a least a year old, so it’s cheap. Lol thanks!

Most likely this was going to happen no matter what pads I was wearing. However, when I start playing again, More than likely my shoulder will NOT be as strong, so I want the most protection. I play D, and the best player on the other team dumped it into my zone as I was skating backward. Before I pivoted, he was hustling…so I was skating hard. As I got close to the boards I opened my legs wide and zigzagged so he wouldn’t get around me. I had planned on slamming on the brakes soon as I slapped the puck around the boards. But…my left foot caught an edge during my transition to stop…and well I didn’t stop. Slammed into the boards after I hit the puck, and hit shoulder first. The funny thing is…the guy that was hustling after me, soon as I turned around…he stopped hustling and was coasting. Ugh…. So, no one hit me, no one was near me…I do this move all the time…and I just had a bad day, in short. I think I’m going to get one of those ref shirts, then wear these new 2N pads I just got.

I just bought the Nexus 2N. I found a pair for 80 bucks brand new…sideline swap. Thanks All!!

The 2N is the top of the nexus range, right?

I m looking to buy new shoulder pads, as my current ones are 10+ year old Easton EQ50s…and I recently crashed into the boards separating my shoulder. It’s not bad…grade 1, which is like a sprain, so 4-6 weeks. But, I’m thinking maybe new shoulder pads once I heal. Naturally, injuries suck…so what are the most protective shoulder pads? mom looking at CCM Tacks line, and Bauer Supreme…but IDK, what your thoughts. also, I might look into getting one of those compression shirts with small pads on the shoulders. Bonus points for info on those. thx

Anyone know the price of the Catalyst 9 skate?

Agreed! I’m in need of finally replacing my Mako 2s…but don’t know what to get.

I have an 8.5 regular. Google says that senior Mako 2s weigh 850 grams. TF9s, like someone said, they weigh 950 grams ish. I did try a pair of TF9, and they are comfy..but the blade is wierd. And they def don’t seem lite. The remind me a little of the EQ50 skate, in that they are bulky. But, like I said, the EQ50 didn’t have a weird blade feeling. I used to alternate my Mako2s and EQ50s….the easier games with guys I know that are more fun…EQ50. Competitive games…Mako2s. Going back and forth between them never bothered me.

I’ve been Using a pair of 8.5 regular Easton Mako 2s for about 6 years now (got them on discount in 2016), and it’s finally time to look for a replacement…but I have no idea what to get. I’ve been a huge Easton Skate fan since the Synergy 1500C skates came out in 2006, and have owned the S17, and EQ50s as well. I actually never baked Easton skates…they always fit me perfectly. Bauer on the other hand…I always had issues with. My vapor 3s from HS (I know skates have come a long way in 20 yrs) always hurt, and those were baked. looking at skates now a days…dam they are expensive and heavy. It looks like the only skate that s as lite as my Makos are the vapor Hyperlites. So, for those ex Mako/Easton users, what skates did you try/hate/like/love? thx,
