LOVE how there are so many pairs of U+ Pro Shoulders being used by every team Why is that?

Seeing all of these pics helps me justify my purchase in my mind

You've gotta wonder how many of them are retail-spec, though.

Gotta love Zepplin on Johnson's helmet

[innotastic 12]

i believe part of it is also they meet nhl specs

Hes been using a warrior through training camp too. And franchise gloves.

I dont have pics on me but when I went to CAPs skate he was using Logans gloves

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)

OK that makes more sense. The caption said it was each guys first goal with the team.

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.

I am in complete agreement. Hell, give any of us a few weeks with the same tools and concepts that the people at Easton have to work with and I'd be willing to bet that any glove we were able to come up with would look miles better and perform (protection, comfort, mobility) than the S17/S19/RS gloves.

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

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

I'm interested what it weight & hydration chart says, probably basic stuff we should all know by now lol

There was a behind the scenes thing for the pens mainly focusing on Crosby a couple years ago and the EQM said that all of Crosby's bolts have lock-tite on them because he doesn't like the crunching noise of slightly loose bolts... Or something close to that

[JR Boucicaut 3801]

But all CCM bolts come with loctite...

sorry couldnt find a pic to post, but saw video of chris pronger today at practice using a warrior dynasty twig, looks like he finally is ditching the old spyne

Well in that case never mind

Couldn't agree more (throw the S11 and S9 top-of-the-line gloves in there, too). In all fairness though, we should probably wait to actually try the RS gloves before we pass judgment on them. Certainly though, the Stealth gloves have made me appreciate the fact that I can send my Z-Airs to Peaches to be re-palmed whenever I want.

Hossa in CCM gloves? I watched closely the replay on NHL.com on his goal and you can see, just after his goal celebration, a yellow liner inside the glove... Is it possible it's a warrior rebranded CCM glove?

[kovey10 0]

From the pictures I've seen the gloves look to be CCM, they have the 2 stripes down the back-rolls like the newer CCMs. I'm guessing they are the CCM 4 roll pro model. The stripes just dont seem Warrior to me.

Another pic of Hossa wearing the CCM 4 Rolls...don't like them personally

[DarkStar50 679]

Those CCMs have the old Ferland glove pattern.

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

Official word hitting the media now. http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/2011/09/29/player-numbers-will-be-added-to-helmets-to-help-identify-nhlers?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter

I feel the same way and it's also surprising since his brother and him have been rocking them since MIA right? Guess we shall see how long his all CCM usage will last.

[perh4ps 1]

Watch the replay of his goal, you can clearly see a yellow liner inside the glove, do ccm 4 roll pro gloves have yellow liners?

NEVERMIND, he was wearing warrior gloves when he scored the goal! problem solved!!!
