Per Ozzy, he's a couple weeks from making the switch for games. He's been breaking in the legs the last couple weeks at home and on the recent road trip out west.

It's now out on pretty good authority that, apart from sticks, there won't be any Warrior goalie gear - they've effectively buried the Montreal goalie line, limited though it was over here.

Itech's goalie line is dead, with the *possible* exception of masks - although odds are they'll be rebranded Bauer. Not sure what that means for JRZ...

What's curious there is that Bauer has a fantastic mask-maker doing the Vapor Pro for them already, and Itech has been kind of rudderless on the mask front since Dr. Wright left.

Frankly, I'm stunned that Bauer didn't seem to make much of an effort to secure the Itech guys in their goalie gear. Admittedly, they weren't especially high-profile guys and there weren't many of them, but it's not like Bauer is rolling in endorsees between the pipes.

This'll get even more interesting if Warrior gets McKenney to start making samples.

also does this mean every goalie wearing itech has to switch? because i see goalies still wearing pads, unless theyre just breaking their new ones in.

Eventually yes. But I believe that the 50K fee, they can still wear them throughout the season. Unless there's a stipulation that allows MIH/NBH to get back some of that fee, which I doubt. I too am surprised Bauer isn't going hard after the Itech guys.

wex, I suspect that the guys still in Itech are going to be in Bauer pads next season. It's been confirmed that Bauer is using JRZ (the folk who built Itech pads) to make their pro gear - so what Osgood et al get will be *exactly* the same as what the had before. The Bauer gear Toskala is currently wearing is the same set he's always had (H10 pads, crazy hacked up gloves) copied by JRZ. You can see the tag in high resolution pictures.

Now, Brian's connections may get them the Wings' goalies, granted - but I think Bauer's putting themselves in position to make a huge push next year. There's no reason to rush it now, apart from mindshare, but Bauer more than likely has enough on their plate at the moment.

Conklin I believe has been since Beginning, although he Might have started in Itechs

cristobal huet got a new set of pads

Did Ronald McDonald hold a gun to his head to wear such color combo? LOL

In regards to Bauer, it looks like it'll be a Bauer VS. Reebok NHL goalie supplier next season with Vaughn right in the mix

Bionic Trap?

I think it's an R8 or R10 with a Summit Tee... the break angle and thumb look wrong for a Bionic. Could be a total makeshift, however.

Natural tone Warrior paddle would have completed that so well.

I cannot express how completely I agree.

Frankly, I just love clear-finish wood sticks. I'm trying to break the last of my Rolosons so I can start on my clearcoat Nabokovs.

Only goalie stick I own, classic Sherwood 950 Soderstrom.

the writing on the red reebok stick is what they should use now. it has the same look as the rbk but its just spelled out. i think that looks much better then what is out right now.

Anyone know if Cam Ward's new pads are just V3s with his own graphic on them? It looks like they say V3s at the top. I'm wondering if he just got jealous of Price having his own graphic or if they are a new pad? Thanks.
