That's it. Pics have been leaked for awhile now.

I'm more peeved as to why Niemi is still in Sherwood when he wore Vaughns all last season.

[lukejameslarson 5]

Those also don't look anything like the pads that Marty wore last season.

In fact... Sher-Wood stopped making goalie gear altogether.

CCM could have fit his head better. Helmet like skates are the biggest case of what fits best

i think its funny how a lot of minor hockey players will chirp guys for taping there ankles, but i see so many pros, an reall good ones at that that do..... love those gloves.

[Harv 86]

Sweet Jesus..

Sweet Jesus..

That's nuts, I wonder if he used that pattern on his RS at all this year.

[Joonas #6 3]

I wonder what kind of curve Yakupov is using.

[Orange&Black12 1]

Hi guys. Really like the look of the total1 nxg so i'm in for some new twigs for the upcoming season. Just curios if theres any info out about it? Especially when it s available? Thanks

[JR Boucicaut 3799]

We will cover it when it is appropriate.

[Orange&Black12 1]

During development camps, most players are just handed stuff from the previous year. My buddy (ironically, name is Buddy haha) got invited to the Canucks development camp and he got stuck with the misfortune of wearing 69 haha.

About the NHL13 screenshots...oh my God they put knee-drop one-timers in the game. YES

[JR Boucicaut 3799]

...they were in NHL12.

The equipment they have the players wear is not Lways right like in NHL11 they had versteeg in all Bauer outrageous!!! The good part is you can change the equipment

[Harv 86]

True one piece with a Dagger taper for $100? What's the catch?

[Jason 65]

Not sure. I'm guessing fiberglass.

[Quintin 16]

So much for the advertising sticking to the name of what they're marketing... yeesh.

Every mfgr does this; what is the problem here?

Seriously, there are days when I think none of you can be satisfied.

The trend continues! Top-end sticks now released with their $99 pricepoint offering before the rest of the line.

This is an interesting marketing scheme by Warrior at the pro-level in my opinion (or I could be over-analyzing it). They are directly implying that players like Granlund and Yakupov will be connected to the green DT4 and blue DT3 respectively in the upcoming season. Warrior posted a sneak-peak into a new DT1 (I suppose) electric blue DT3-like paint-job (think Malone) that Yakupov will supposedly be using (that was my tweet, Keith!). I'm guessing that the announcement coming soon will involve Granlund using a similar DT4-style paintjob on a top-end stick. Either way, it's intriguing how quickly they related these pricepoint sticks to the pros, as opposed to the DT1. Good marketing Warrior, and as Harv alluded to, the market will be quite curious.

EA does an absolutley terrible job at their equipment, no options. 2K you could actually go in and custom color each individulas gloves.

JR, don't stress, it wasn't intended to be a complaint - just an opinion. No need to be so close to the bone about it bud. Would it be more suitable if I said "Wow, that's a lot a green!"? :D

Either way, Warrior stick with DT at that price is going to be DANGEROUS for my wallet/credit rating.

[SnakeHockey 0]

Does anyone know when the DT1/4 are coming out?

[Chadd 916]

No catch, just down-spec's the materials for the cheaper sticks. They won't compare with the high end version for weight or performance, but it will be interesting to see how they compare to other sticks at that price point.
