your link didn't work on here... and seeing as im at a high school library computer, i can't get onto the facebook to put one up. but i know for a fact that somebody on PHEW put up a pic of what they claimed to be u+ goalie skates.

You can't see the pic? It worked for me... and the picture is from the PHEW group.

Technically, it's from GSBB.

Via PHEW.

It popped up on PHEW after it was on GSBB and posted on MSH.

I'm digging the black CustomLite cowling - skate looks pretty low-volume, though that's par for the course. I still don't know why they're pushing that pointless perforated runner, though... they really should just start using the Thrust Blades from the 9K.

[Goalieboy#1 1]

Its deffinately from GSBB. The guy that took the pictures put them up there. They look alright, I wonder how light they are?

I can't wait to put that black cowling on my 9K's.

the black on black does look pretty cool. but still is anyone for sure about these things and a release date if they are real? i know Law Goalie knows his stuff so maybe you could research for a minute to see what you can find.

never mind.... found my answer

PHEW never scoops anything.

Hard for college kids to out-scoop guys in the industry.

[TBLfan 25]

...But they get credit because they don't have to take down or not post pics to begin with... That's why I even bothered correcting him. There are maybe 3-4 guys on there, that post, that know anything. In fact, that's why I check their posts, because they're funny.

If that's not the most jury-rigged skate I've ever seen, I don't know what it is. It's not a U skate, construction is nothing even close. The CCM and U labels look like they were cut off of something and glued on. The holder looks way out of wack IRT size and the tendon guard seem a bit high. The skate looks like a traditional leather skate as well, looks a lot like a Bauer. Certainly not the direction CCM is going. 09 is the yr for new CCM goal skates, the 3-yr cycle is up, but it's unlikely that's that's going to be a U skate.

Funny, I was dreaming today how I could get a player U skate, cut the tendon guard off and mount it to a RBK cowling.

[Law Goalie 147]

With your skills and equipment, a couple hours tops. I wouldn't even bother cutting off the tendon guard until you're absolutely sure it would get in the way. I've had my Flexlite boots in RBK cowlings for well over a year now, and the tendon's never been an issue.

You got it boss.

It's the sheer arrogance as well - they ACT as if they can.

Nothing against anyone here, but do sorta wish there was more of a Goaltender Presence here on MSH. Do tend to see more Goaltender gear/news over on GSBB than here. I know it's dedicated to goaltenders unlike here, and not looking to start an argument or complain about anything but just thinking out loud.

[Law Goalie 147]

Sure, there's more stuff posted, but most of it's pretty vacuous. There are a few guys over there who really know their stuff (jf-laflaire, Wellsie, LOTC aka 'the other JR', Emile, Dana, kohomcm, mulliniks, Phil Maltese and others), but in general they're less and less active on the board; some have left entirely. I have nothing at all against the board, its administrators, or the community in general, and some of the back threads are still a great resource; I just don't have any great reason to be involved any more. When I do see a thread I'd post in, once in a blue moon, it usually gets zero attention. JFL had a thread about completely re-building a pair of pads from scratch to work as the perfect ball-hockey/street pad, and there were about four replies; got bumped off the first page in minutes for a couple dozen more 'Hot or Not' posts in the 'Official' threads.
