Back in a tinted shield tonight

I'm surprised it took this long for him to end up in the skates

He skates pretty well for someone that is 250lbs, but if this new skate is a stiffer skate, it probably would benefit him greatly.

That they are. Those are about as stiff as hockey skates will ever get.

That they are. Those are about as stiff as hockey skates will ever get, if reports are accurate.

[epstud74 24]

How much are they? Some of you seem to know the cost.

Anyone have an idea what these Bauers that Jagr is wearing are?

Hossa wearing new logo Jofa/RBK/Reebok 7k Pro (probably) elbow pads.

They put the Reebok where it would be visible on the guys who pull their sleeves up. Previously the RBK and Jofa logos were oriented up the pad so you could only see a letter or 3.

RBK is pretty clear there :P

[larrivee 3]

RBK is pretty clear there :P

That's on the 8k- the logo is on the extensions. I would imagine the new 8k's say Reebok.

On the 7k it was like the old Jofas. Like these:

In any case they switched the graphics from RBK to Reebok.

[stuie7 6]

Oh right, thought you were just talking about jofa/reebok elbows in general.

What's up with Hossa's Bauer logo there? The white background/black text - is that something that's happening for certain endorsers?

My old boss' shop in MI just received a few pair - I believe he said 9177 (ext cuff) in S and 8k Pro (ext cuff) in M.

[SirJW 207]

I love that Jagr has the same old gloves he wore on the Rangers (and possibly the Caps?). Can't wait to see him back in NA during the Olympics.

forgive me for being obtuse, but am i correct in assuming mlx stands for mario lemieux?

I haven't heard anything about this either way, but it would make sense, especially since a lot of Pens players are in them.

Watching the World Juniors tonight, I noticed that the Slovakian team has NHL-style visors (Didn't pay enough attention to Latvia), while the US and Canadian teams wear the typical North American junior model made by Itech/Bauer (HECC approved, I think). Team Canada was also wearing neck protection. Any reason these equipment regulations aren't standardized for IIHF play?

[JR Boucicaut 3805]

If you're under 18, must wear neck protection, no?

[mwerth 5]

yupp in canada you gotta wear a neck gaurd

I thought that was the deal at first, too, but don't players under 18 also have to wear full facial protection?

Here's Nazem Kadri's gettyimages gallery, it looks to me like pictures clearly show a neck guard:
