Hornqvist with some funky Easton gloves.

Edit: Maybe they're RS gloves?

[Cove 38]

Gunna discuss the pic of the new T1? Or let that wait for a bit?

[JR Boucicaut 3801]

I already expressed my stance on that.

Those RS gloves look a little better than the initial pictures.

[JR Boucicaut 3801]

It's actually a really nice glove.

[BoDangles 0]

I just find the look of the glove to be so abnormal, still just trying to get use to it.

reminds me of a vapor xxxx

Don't look at them, wear them. Best Easton glove in a very long time. I know that's a low standard, but it is a huge improvement over anything they have offered in years.

[michael.yue 2]

They remind me a lot of the XXX. I'm hoping the fit is similar because I loved the XXXs. Still using a pair but they have definitely seen better days.

[number21 3]

The RS glove look has grown on me since the first picture. The crooked easton still looks odd, but I would love to try them out just because they look like they might have a Z-air feel. (Another reason to be sore I can't make WF.)

[AIREAYE 248]

Am I right to assume that the RS' will continue the anatomical-fitting trend started by the S17?

[JR Boucicaut 3801]

That glove has different padding, but is the RS cut. The RS has a solid block of padding on the backrolls.

[number21 3]

Looks like Patrick Eaves has the RS gloves. You can't see much at all in that photo, it's hard to find a good photo of him though.

Someone got a shot on Flickr though - not great quality either..

Glad to see Easton is heading in the right direction at least. I've just been so skeptical of Easton gloves ever since I bought a pair of S9s and only 7 weeks later had to buy new gloves. Durability was terrible.

Now a "new" sighting, but something I found really interesting. Hall in Warrior girdle:

Just wonder what Hall's Easton contract really includes because I remember it was rumoured to be a head-to-toe deal at first, but clearly not.

[goaliemanshark 6]

Does the front of the shell say Easton on it?

[perh4ps 1]

Bauer skates too there

[johnnyvegas 0]

Bauer skates too there

Could be me but it's also the first picture I've seen where his skate laces aren't tied around the ankles

[perh4ps 1]

yeah your right, i remember seeing it last year

I heard that about 75% of the Oilers are wearing the Warrior Projekt girdle.

And when we met him this summer the Easton rep with him was bragging about the new Easton skates he had for Taylor there. "Kid, look, they say HALLSY on them!" My son was all excited because he just got a pair of Easton skates. LOL!

[ponder 0]

He was definitely in Vapor skates and the Projekt girdle last year too.

He was definitely in Vapor skates and the Projekt girdle last year too.

I knew about the Vapors for sure, he was only in Easton's for a very short period of time. It was the girdle I wasn't sure about. Couldn't find a pic from last year that showed it.

Saw this picture:

And just had a quick question, is there a difference between the:

OVIE 8 APX sticks and the OVECHKIN stick?

EDIT: The only noticable difference I see is a "2620-12" instead of a "2620-11" on the OVECHKIN stick, and the lack of "APX" on it.

[Gefiltefish 9]

TotalOne vs APX constructions maybe? Both have the custom flex profile (G3).

Also different curve. 2620-12 vs 2620-11.

[lere2001 0]

Oh ok, I wasn't quite sure what the 2620-?? meant. But it's the curve? Good to know. Thank you, and that would make sense, because isn't Ovechkin alternating between both a TO and an APX, trying to see which stick he likes?
