Yeah, the rep I had talked to said that they're just introducing a new helmet. I'm not sue if Im allowed to talk about it at all though.

It'll be out next year. Notice all I have said is that there is a new helmet, not how it fits or looks or what the specs are, and I know these things. That should tell ya. ;)

Is there going to be a replacement of the 9900? I'd love to get a 9900 for less than it is now!

Honestly, the 9900 is one of the few buckets I believe is fully worth the cost. Then again, it also has the best fit I've ever felt so.

But I'm with you, wouldn't mind a little less of a kick to the wallet.

Anyone catch which stick David Booth was using as a Canuck tonight?

[Chadd 916]

Looks like the same Miken he was using in Florida.

[Slapshot9123 0]

Might have been noticed already but, Is Hossa in CCM gloves? Pretty sure he is using CCM skates, helmet, pants, gloves and sticks now if he is.

Does anyone know what kind of "extra padding" Mats Zuccarello is wearing on his gloves in this pic?

[TeamHonda401 54]

Almost all of the Rangers wear a similar pad. Not sure the exact reason, but Rangers forwards typically block a lot of shots.

I also noticed when i enlarged the picture he was wearing 2 shells (or a shell on top of a regular pant) Anyone know why?

[Harv 86]

Last year alot of players were getting broken hands from blocked shots.

Someone in the Rangers org told the equipment manager to bulk up all the gloves with extra padding.

[JR Boucicaut 3804]

Booth is using the Razor Z9, which is posted in the 2012 Catalogue section.

[CTHockey 2]

All Rangers and CT Whale players are required to wear those pads on their gloves. Underneath the cloth material is a honeycomb style shock absorbing material very similar to whats in the Cascade helmets.

Most likely his regular pant is something that doesn't match the team's color scheme.

It appears Brad Richards isn't wearing the hand pad.

Kinda hard to see but at about 0:03 What kind of stick is the Oilers player against the boards using?

Maybe a Base? I believe they recently released an all white stick.

It's Andy Sutton. As said, it's an Easton S19 Pure.

I stand corrected.

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO awesome, and check out the super sweet back too:

I think this is probably my favourite goalie mask ever. And just for fun, here's a crisper/better version of the pic you already posted:

[adam14 182]

I think zucharello is using a Gridlen hence the high hip padding and the shell
