Just noticed Wideman's skates had a tendon guard with the same silver shine as the X:60's even though they were rkb 11k's. Looked closer and it seems the silver reebok logo lights up in the same was as the Bauer's do on the tendon guard. Certainly just a coincidence, right? ;)

Just got my March issue of USA Hockey Magazine. I got a chuckle out of it because right on the cover is a little kid wearing a Mission helmet (I think it's an M95) with half of the Mission logo covered by a piece of masking tape. Sure, it might have just been a parent who taped it to help identify it, but it's still fun to think that the photographer had it covered up like they would in the pros.

Tyler Kennedy in some Easton gloves that I've never seen in a Pens colorway before. Anyone have any ideas what they are?

The kinda look like the se16's that a member listed for sale a while ago

I remember the ones that Dupuis wore having a lot more gold in them.

[bostonjuniorblackhawks 1]

Brad Richards wearing an S19 tonight? Looks a little low over his eyes...

EDIT: Maybe not? Might have just been the angle....

[DetroitRedwings94 0]

It's true. I was watching a game a while back and one of the play by play guys mentioned that he talked to Iginla about his curve. Iggy said that he added a big toe to remind him to shoot more.

Thanks for the confirmation. I thought i was seeing things.

Plus he had like two slappers that were very ovi-like

Nope. Richards and Neal are still in the older models. Loui is in the S19.

[SteveM 5]

Brad Richards was definitely wearing the S19 tonight.

[Krev 86]

I stand corrected.

Richard was def in the S19 no question.

Forsberg has been wearing X:60s throughout the whole season, but last night he was sporting a pair of all-black skates that I can't seem to identify.

Look like reeboks if you look closely at the tendon.

[malcb33 99]

To me they look like those U+ prototypes Marc Savard was wearing a while ago.

I was trying to figure out the same thing last night, I'm not sure what it could be, all the logos seem to have been blacked out, maybe some kind of prototype skate? Also I think he was still wearing XXXX's until yesterday's game, or that's what it seems like at 0:58 (near the end as the clock time counts down) of this video: Modo photo gallery

The question is, how hold are those Tacks number 11 is wearing :D

[SteveM 5]

Are my eyes playing tricks on me or does it look like Forsberg only threads one end of his laces through his entire skate? If you look at his laces, rather than seeing an X of the two ends of the laces crossing over each other, it just looks like one consistent line as if he is only feeding one end of his laces through the entire boot.

[mik3 1]

Could be because of his foot. His skates are so custom that they might not need to be really pulled down tight.

It's the angle, if you go on the Modo website and look at the photos from yesterdays game the other pictures show a traditional lacing... 1:44 of this picture gallery-video

Speaking of Forsberg's skates, there's a game used pair from this season for sale on a Swedish online auction site, the money goes to charity in Haiti.

they're blacked out 9k's, if you look right where the pump is you can barely see it. plus you can see the lace lock.
