DUde, the NHL players are still going to get HT2s. It's retail that won't.

...no

It's the 9500 cage. It is not titanium - it is stainless steel.

25

Those aren't CCMs.

There'll be a new one next year, but PITCH will still stay put. :)

Because the holder on the ONE95 is the regular LS2 holder. The 2.1 is the steel...it has been tweaked to fit on the LS2 holder.

I have to fix the catalogue.

Yes

You're right, it was 57! No, not exactly. Hence my second quote in my sig.

Has to be done right, you just can't throw pictures up there. I'm always holding out on you guys.

http://www.modsquadhockey.com/pics/JR/2008...mission2008.pdf Skates - All skates have carried over from last year, but there is one new skate for 2008 - that would be the AGX. It is a hybrid fit - AG ankles and height, however, has the stiffeners and quarter package from the XP. This skate will fall right underneath the 100AG in terms of price. And YES...PITCH is staying put. :) Sticks - Fuel TI-Pro is a Holiday 2007 launch, but some of the technology from that stick goes down to the 2008 lineup. The TI/TI Grip falls under the TI-Pro, but without the carbon fibre shaft. Also, no titanium mesh in the blade. The Fuel Pyro replaces the Z-1, still with the Spear shaft and soft touch grip. The Z12 replaces the Toxic line. Helmets - Helmets are unchanged, except for the Fusion, which is a Holiday 2007 launch. Gloves - A new glove has been added to the lineup - the Fuel 130. It is the NHL-spec glove - nylon, dual density foams, stretch palm and no full-motion cuff (what's on the 120). Feels much better than the 120. Protective - This was Justin's last ice project with Mission - I got to see some of the prototype renderings when he was working on it. Very nicely done. The shoulder pads have a motocross look to it - very strong front and back plate (almost feels like you can take a bullet in them) along with EPP in certain areas of the pad. The back of the shoulder pad is very rigid, however, has a break in it where it flexes. The pads have memory foam in the clavicle/knee/tricep area which allows the pad to conform to the player's body. Anti-microbial, cool liner as well as grip print. Pants are unchanged. New bags this year - including the Cooler, which according to Mission reps, fits FIFTY-SEVEN cans of your favorite 12-oz beverage. :)

http://www.modsquadhockey.com/pics/JR/2008/CCM/CCM2008.pdf This ain't your daddy's CCM. They are making a big push to be flashy and innovative. Their coin term this year is "Performance Within - built from the inside out." Skates - The new U+ (You Plus, as in an extension of you, the player) replaces the V10.0 skate as CCM's top-end sakte. The skate features U-Foam, which is very reactive to heat. It made a big difference when I had them baked in Montreal - the skate seemed to really open up. More volume than previous Vector boots as well. A new molded tongue and the Rocket Runner are some of the new features. This is an one-off skate, so the U-Foam is not included in the other models. The V08 is very similar to the V10.0 in terms of features. It does include the Rocket Runner, but doesn't include an anti-microbial iner. It is a wicking liner, however. V06 replaces 6.0, but goes back to scalloped stainless runners. Sticks - The new U+ stick includes a hollow point heel. The premise behind it is better balance. 24' taper, mandreled full carbon fibre shaft and a vibration-dampening blade. It comes in the contoured shape, and will have clear and grip (upper 2/3 of shaft) options. The V10 has the new paint job that the NHL players are using this year. The V08 has the U+-style graphics. Helmets - A V08 VN helmet has been added. Also, the HT2 has been eliminated and the V04 takes its place. Gloves - Gloves remain unchanged, however a nylon V08 version has been added. Protective - All of the protective has been redone. Looks very modern and sharp. There are two top-end shoulder pads - the V10 Ove is a beefed-up version of the V10. The elbow pad has EPP in the elbow, forearm and bicep. The V10 has a new cross-strap system which is very comfortable. Vented knee and shin caps as well as an segmented EPP calf wrap.

http://www.modsquadhockey.com/pics/JR/2008/NBH/NBH2008.pdf Skates - This year Supreme got the update - the ONE95 replaces the ONE90. The AnaForm concept is providing an even better heat-mold fit than the ONE90 did. The quarter package has been changed as well - it is a composite material named ALIVE. LS2P is gone - the LS2.1 steel has been tweaked to fit a standard LS2 holder. More volume for more wrap over the foot, a white molded tongue for classiness, and a standard tendon guard, The ONE is no longer a standalone skate - the name and the technology has been carried down to the models underneath it. The ONE75 ditches the ALIVE and goes to a tech mesh - essentially what was on the ONE90. Spec-wise it is essentially an ONE90 (save the liner). ONE55 also has some of the Anaform technology. Helmets - Helmets remain unchanged, but the 9500 has been added. FXPP/VN hybrid -FXPP is the highest-grade EPP on the market. VN is used in thinner areas of the helmet for comfort. It also has a dual-injected shell (think hard shell in some spots, flexible in others) The foam is sprayed with a material which is cool to the touch. Dri-fit also in the helmet. Sticks - Unchanged, holiday sticks carry over, and XXXX Stick'um and XXXX shaft added. Gloves - Supreme unchanged, Vapor finally gets an update after 3 years. The XXXX Pro is nylon with a nash palm. The XXXX has a dual layer nash palm with an absorb pad on the corner of the palm, as well as an adjustable cuff. The Vapor line is slimmer in the hand but still flexible for motion. Protective - The Vapor line is new for 2008. The pants feature an adjustable spine pad and a Nike Air unit in the back. Very stretchy and ventilated. The XXXX Core Pad is essentially a stripped-down pant with a girdle-like lower half. The Supreme protective is unchanged, however, the Vapor line is new. Very flexible in the arms/shoulder area, solid front plate and well-vented (shoulder caps are also vented). It also has an interesting strapping system - you can bring it closer to your body by re-routing the straps through cut-out loops. Not only that, but there is a lacing system inside the shoulder pad, in the sternum area. It is a drawstring - you pull on it and it pulls it closer to your body. Very cool feature. Elbow pad has the Vent Armor (which was introduced with Supreme) with memory foam and a segmented bicep pad. The shins have the same strapping system that is on Supreme, but with a wrap strap on the bottom of the leg. Flexible knee cap. Lightspeed line is replaced by Defender. Europe only, sorry. **edited pdf, now full catalogue (sticks, goal) and protective section is fixed**

Nah...would've been better pics than that.

I've gotten a fair share of collectors items over the years, all personal. I've never bought any - has more meaning when you get it personally. I'll never sell any of it.

Just got back from the game. Saw David skate in the pregame skate...kid has moves for weeks. Blues got killed obviously...rough game all around. He got me down underneath the arena after the game - it's like a rock concert down there for sure. He gave me one of his GUs - As I'm walking back to the parking lot, this drunk (yet hot) chick comes up to me and she says "You have a BIG STICK." Takes it and starts stroking it up and down. She must've seen the Warrior ads - so David - your stick has been tainted ;) Here's a picture of the curve -

I'm going Wed vs Detroit.

Goddamnit, I told you all to stop it!

two sweet goals? One 5 hole hasek should of had, and the other, Chelios stood there and watched him bat it in. Should have laid him out. I'd be mad if I was a Detroit fan right now too.. But I'm not. Go Perron! yeah, im not mad though nutsack. The Wings are arguably the best team in the NHL right now, and one bad period isnt going to get me mad. Calling those goals sweet is a bit of a stretch. I smell a homer. Aussie -- the games not over yet. They'll be up. lol ok call me a homer. arent you a big blues fan.... I am, but it doesn't skew my perception like it does yours. STOP IT

Group hug, y'all...

Nah man, he's keepin' it real.

I texted David - I said that if he dangles Lids I'll give him $1 and then I'll text Lids and rub it in his face.

i mean...i need to flex a stick b4 i buy it...but i know how to do it...just put some flex on it....like mimicing shooting...i've seen some kids look like they're TRYING to break it. I don't even work in an LHS and i always subconsciously put the sticks in order....and i feel bad for those of you who have to deal with annoying kids...at my LHS yesterday...these 2 brothers pick up 2 brand new XXXX sticks, a stickhandling ball...and start whacking their sticks around "Playing" hockey....the guys are so nice in my LHS, and they never say nething. Pet peeve of mine...the playing in store. That's why I lock all of the balls away, keep SmartHockey on or behind the counter, and scream at kids. Nothing worse than having to discount product because your brat couldn't act like a mature person in my store. How ironic - I'm making signs on PS for the store - telling kids not to flex sticks.

Easy - gallon-sized Ziploc bags. Keep them in your store. They fit neckguards, jocks and hockey socks.
