LarrieNation9 0 Report post Posted August 31, 2004 I am watching world cup of hockey on ESPN and they said Forseburg had skate problems with his bauer's. He went to montreal and spent several hours having them fixed. Anyone know if they were the new vapor XXX's or what? If it's the new XXX's maybe they have a problem? Or just his own custom type problem Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JR Boucicaut 3760 Report post Posted August 31, 2004 Most likely a problem with his feet... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nigel 0 Report post Posted August 31, 2004 He had problems with the fit on his previous skates so he went to Bauer in Montreal and got fitted again, bringing home 5 new boots. Bauer may have given him the XXX to try but he is using the XX's in today's game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Markku 0 Report post Posted August 31, 2004 Now he is using the XX in the game against Germany... guess he didn't like XXX so much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GekigangarIII 0 Report post Posted August 31, 2004 I was told he was going to have Bauer make him an all new custom skate, which is why he was in Montreal. He's had a history of foot problems with skates in general. It's the one thing his and my game share... severe whacked feet... ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lee92 2 Report post Posted August 31, 2004 on cbc they said he was having problems with his heel and his skates, and that's why he went over to get some custom pairs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steve66 45 Report post Posted August 31, 2004 His skate problems are usually attributed more to ankle problems I thought.Talking of skate problems did you see/ hear selanne broke both of his blades in the game yesterday? Anyone see what he was skating on? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Markku 0 Report post Posted August 31, 2004 The commentator in Finnish broadcasting was Jokerit's head coach and he told that there has been a lot of blade breakages recently, not only with Jokerit but also with other teams. "Equipment managers are calling each other and trying to make some sense to it." Jokerit has a deal with THC so they are mostly Vector skates... guess they had a bad batch of blades...

Miseaujeu 291 Report post Posted September 1, 2004 Most likely a problem with his feet... I remember trying to build skates for Peter when I was at Mission. Very difficult. He had huge bone spurs on his heels and we could never get the fit just right. He liked the boots, but the fit drove him and us nuts.K Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JR Boucicaut 3760 Report post Posted September 1, 2004 Yeah, I remember Rob McLean telling me that they had issues with Forsberg, said he loved the skates but they were just a bit off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
