If the mods okay it I will. Wasn't trying to be an ass, was just saying maybe you should check before posting especially when you write "Now how long before this gets taken down? :)" meaning you know maybe you shouldn't. My bad.

Edit: Mods, is it okay to post 20K Skates or the RS Glove

[JR Boucicaut 3803]

Sure, if you want to be the one who Reebok questions.

Easton put their helmet and glove up on their site.

[jschlenske 0]

Nah i'm good, I only saw them on facebook...i'm sure you can guess where.

[goaliemanshark 6]

These pictures are all taken directly from Easton's RS site.

RS glove:

Still think that the white helmet is just a nomal S19? And yes that looks pretty matte to me.

Perhaps a pant?

[jschlenske 0]

The white isn't an S19 atleast I don't think so, S19 has different padding on the inside.

Is it just me or does that particular glove look a lot like these? http://www.theprestigegame.com/pictures/thumb48/406069926523.gif

Holly crap, those gloves just made me upchuck a little.

[innotastic 12]

i was gonna say those gloves look a lot like the x60s.

Perhaps a pant?

The inside of the glove I think.

Easton needs a new glove designer.

The GX series, Z-Airs, and 800 Pro are all great gloves. Their retail gloves are crap in both design and functionality.

I agree.

I could almost like that glove IF it had a normal cuff roll (a curved z-air one) and no silver piping/seam on it.

I am just not a fan of that integrated cuff roll look.

helmet is the e700 apparently

[goaliemanshark 6]

helmet is the e700 apparently

Where did you hear that?

[michael.yue 2]

I think the glove kind of resembles to Z-air. That's just my opinion though

The RS gloves look a bit like the Kohos Jags and Lemieux rocked back in like 1997. Nedved had them too. Cant remember the name or model, but Jofa had a glove out a few years earlier that looked similar, Phil Housley had those.

[HockeySavants 5]

Those RS gloves just took us back 10 years

[DarkStar50 679]

Just about every glove is a re-design of a previous model, 1 season old, 10 seasons old, or 20 seasons old.

[Harv 86]

What. the. ****.

All players in the NHL will have #'s on the front and back of there helmets,starting game 1 http://yfrog.com/nud9nbj

[JR Boucicaut 3803]

Interesting, Wild EQM Tony DaCosta posted it, says it's not a joke.

I actually like the look of those RS gloves, as someone mentioned earlier they look like a sort of evolution of the Z-Airs.

The numbers on the front of the helmet, on the other hand, ugh. Looks terrible.

[Harv 86]

Good look inside an equipment room.

Yeah...I don't think that was Kovalevs FIRST goal as a penguin.

Also...custom screws for Crosby? What the hell?

Not sure how much you know about the board, but each puck represents a win from the season, and the name is the person who got the game winner (in case of a goalie maybe a shoot out win or shutout). I'm going out on a limb and venturing that the "1" on the puck was for the 1st of what hoped to be 16 wins in the playoffs, as the next one is labelled "2" and in Tampa (where they got the second win)

Like to thank Sher-Wood for sending me my new sticks. The new plug pattern. Great for Tip-Ins. #GotWood?

I could not agree more! Why doesn't easton listen to its customers. I know they're on this board. Unless we're the only place w/ people that feel this way. Back in the day EVERYBODY had to have GXxxxx's. Pro-stock easton gloves are NOTHING like their retail gloves. I don't know anyone that will even look at a retail easton glove but will go crazy for a pair of lightly used GX's or current easton pro-stocks only. Seriously the drop off in interest in easton gloves since the 90's makes me wonder if they even do market research on consumer preferences. Same goes for the appearance of CCM/RBK skates but that's a whole other ball of wax. But (as mentioned in the past), I guess their solution is to just copy the look of the best selling skate line. Sorry for rant.
