I changed to Nash Sniper tongues in my Vapor 2Xs, very comfortable replacement.

4500 not in the new Bauer catalog
ggmunsen replied to strosedefence34's topic in Ice Hockey Equipment
I've been using this helmet since it's iteration as a 3000, then went on to have a couple of them as a 4000, and have had three or four 4500s since. When National Sports went out of business in Canada a couple years back, I picked up two more just in case this happened. I still wear one with a bird cage for men's league and another one for coaching. It's also almost time for my son to get a new lid and I keep telling him how great the 4500 is, not sure he agrees, but we'll see what he likes best. -
Sorry, never used the twigs and those weights do seem to be somewhat heavier, but perhaps from being reinforced? I do know friends who have used their shoes. They said for grip and protection, they can't be beat. I know https://hockeysupremacy.com/ sells their stuff. They seem to have some reviews on their site, it might be worth a look or two.

Chabot looks like his are custom colorway, with more silver than anything and very little, if any yellow at all. Also has the CCM Speedblade XS holders on his. https://www.gettyimages.ca/detail/news-photo/tim-bozon-of-team-france-in-action-with-thomas-chabot-of-news-photo/1399090135?adppopup=true

I know they're not top of the line but I noticed that Sportchek now has the True Catalyst 5 skates on their website: https://www.sportchek.ca/categories/shop-by-sport/hockey/hockey-skates/senior-hockey-skates/product/true-catalyst-5-senior-hockey-skates-333817451.html# I haven't seen them on any of the other company's websites yet.

I don't know if this will help, but I remembered this video from a few years ago from the NJ equipment staff. It offers more of a DIY approach:

Do you rotate between your sticks if they are the exact same ones?

And here I thought I was the only one that does this... -

It looks like they have the injected eyelets, also the newer toe cap. They look similar to the 1x LE that Ovie and Kane used to wear...

Mitch was back to Tuuks at practice this afternoon, saw it on Leafs twitter

I realized after posting that the original model was a 3000, then the subsequent transition towards the 4500... Have to admit though, it looks cool to see Cooper on there again.
-
Before Easton was absorbed, I would have liked to have seen a one-piece stick branded/wrapped like the old Wayne Gretzky shiny aluminum twig...
-
then i saw they have a limited release twig too!
-
No Gloves yet, but they have the shoulder pads making a return on the website.
-
What was the model name? I had the 3000 when it changed over to the Bauer branding.

Looking on the Bauer website today and came across a new release: https://www.bauer.com/en-CA/cooper-gear/cooper-4500-helmet-senior-619898.html#q=4500&sz=60&start=1 Trying to cash in on nostalgia?
-
Has anyone received any updates as to when they'll be starting to sell other products? So far only their twigs for sale still...

Single Favorite Piece of Equipment Ever
ggmunsen replied to beerleaguecaptain's topic in Ice Hockey Equipment
Easton Stealth s17 white skates; lightest and most comfortable skates I have ever owned. Close second, my Tackla pants were unreal back in the day. -
Noticed that Matthews was wearing Warrior gloves last night versus Arizona. First time all year I believe, because Saturday in Montreal he still had CCM mitts.

Some more of Athanasiou with the new Vapors wheels: https://www.gettyimages.ca/detail/news-photo/detroit-red-wings-forward-andreas-athanasiou-receives-news-photo/1052781994 https://www.gettyimages.ca/detail/news-photo/andreas-athanasiou-of-the-detroit-red-wings-pounds-gloves-news-photo/1052777826

Very hard to tell if it's just paint or a coating, see the image here: https://www.gettyimages.ca/detail/news-photo/auston-matthews-of-the-toronto-maple-leafs-battles-for-the-news-photo/1052475768 However, it looks like he only has the heel here, unless its the makeup of the blade vs the shaft.
-
Gotta love the blacked out M. I noticed on his Nexus twigs he has been spray painting the blade and the lower portion of the shaft.

I actually find that i have a bit more room in the toe box, but the ankle and wrap is much more snug, which I like. I agree that the padding definitely appears and feels to be beefed up. I even took my heat gun to the inner side of the tongue after baking. Tried to press out some pressure points I was feeling on the top of the foot. However, when hot it was totally mold-able, but once cooled and set again I experienced the same feeling. I think more time on the ice will help, but if it keeps being this stiff I may look at getting another tongue as a modification.
-
I've just started wearing the 2S Pros and they're so much stiffer than my previously pair, which were 180s. I find the lacing system is awesome, however, the tongue is too thick and i find that it isn't all that comfortable, even after baking. In my opinion, the LS5 steel is the biggest difference/improvement, but as mentioned above, you need to actually skate in them to feel the difference.
