Biggest Busts

[DarkStar50 679]

Bauer Endure OPS was a bust. CCM 952 woodies with the honeycomb shaft were a bust. CCM Edge skates were a bust. A lot of Mission protective was a bust.

The Cascade helmet, I remember the hype but there has been no mention of it since. I don't think I've even seen any one wearing one

how about the old franklin sticks, I think they were called "aircore". total bust

[kornsined 0]

Even though I love mine, I'm surprised no one mentioned them. T'Blades.

Triangular shaft from Trilage.

[jimmy 194]

The Curtis Curve is not a bust, many love it and still use it. I had one, a VIC in the early 80's, in fact it's up in the rafters in my garage. for sale, best offer :) I personally didn't like it but I have lots of people ask for it. I've been selling the Eagle version, no problem. Goalies still like it.

The Vapor XX OPS was a huuuuuge seller for shops. It put Bauer on the map for OPS as everything before it was a flop.

oh i didnt think they did that well....my bad

TPs Rubber was not a bust, nor was the vapor XX or the Sickkick. A Rubber response was more of a bust and so is NHL 2K anything

[jrhky36 1]

the orignal clear tuuk holders circa late 80's. not the new blue ls2 power. though i wish i could still find some in 306

the northland helmet, canadian helmet

[Bender 0]

V-Forms.

[phunky_monkey 6]

^^^ indeed! Can't believe that one was missed...

[JJ Thompson94 0]

I use XXXX stick-um and I have two other guys on my team that use the regular one. But...yeah it's a bust compared to the XXX or the One90.

Disagree. NHL 2K3 and 2K5 were extremely solid and easily the best hockey games on the market, especially back when EA's NHL series was in the toilet. It wasn't until NHL '07 when EA finally started to get it right (again).

Probably the Oakley Jawbone or whatever it was called. That thing looked like a paintball mask.

Anyone else remember the Oakley Mace hockey gloves? Those things were harsh overpriced. I think Souray wore those?

Those gloves still pop up at my local Oakley outlet from time to time for $40.

I had a Mission Carbster and I hated it. I had sweat dripping off my face after the first shift with that thing and it seemed like it went down too far on my neck.

Oh the Bauer Endure...that thing was indestructible. I sold one a couple months ago that I had used for over a year and it still looked brand new. Shame that they felt like they were about 30 flex stiffer than they were.

I still have my eye out for a 67 flex original Endure PM9 lefty ;)

I agree that the Carbster was a bust in a lot of ways, but on a personal note i loved mine

There were a select few who could pull it off...

[Eazy_b97 1]

Offset blade essentially made a half inch curve into a larger curve, making it easier to lift the puck on the forehand.

I remember when they first came out, some were saying it was to help teach proper form on slapshots by forcing kids to shoot behind the puck.

Didn't Bauer have some funky way of attaching a blade to a shaft?

That would be the Harpoon Latch system. I just glued those blades in.

I think most people did, I liked the blades, but the rubber teeth were lacking. Glad you remembered the name or I'd be searching for it now.

I really liked the look of the original and it did well around here, but the follow-up ones (with two colours) had alot of trouble around here.
