The WRTX?

[Harv 86]

The WRTX?

Gah, nevermind. I found an old picture of a Salming stick and thought it was newer.

[parasitepig 0]

are these the new easton RS skates?

[JR Boucicaut 3803]

Yes, the RS is actually going to be released this year. We were told in Vegas that it was being held back, but now it has been shown to dealers.

I have some pictures of them and will put them up at some point.

In teh Spring issue of "Fully Loaded" magazine (the one with Joffrey Lupul on the cover), there is a picture of the Easton RS skates in an article about new hockey equipment/products.

JR, by 'this year' , do you mean a Spring release, or Fall?

Either way, if they kept the fit the same as previous Stealth skates, these very well may be my next pair!

So I'm guessing the RS won't feature any MLX technology?

It won't be sold in every store; they are going to be allotted to certain dealers. I can't comment on the fit, however. I haven't seen them in person, nor have I received any official information from Easton on the matter.

No. Whatever Dave Cruikshank is working on, it won't be this year.

Totalone NXG

^I think you got it a couple seconds before me

[perh4ps 1]

Looks a lot like the new totalone NXG

both you guys got it a few seconds before me :/

Toews was wearing wapors before no?

[HockeySavants 5]

Toews is a Vapour guy, but colour me shocked if they were willing to make him APX dressed as NXGs.

[DarkStar50 679]

Bauer just might have his foot last and can build any skate they want based on Toews' foot last.

I think we'll see them sometime mid to late summer if I remembe right.

I saw the skate and its pretty nice. Unfortunately, it was very much the wrong size for me so I cant comment on how it fit. However, it is pretty nice. Has a really nice feel to it, is quite light, the liner and foam is also quite nice.

My rep said its not going to fit quite like the Stealth line and the construction and design is a total departure from the previous carbon composite boot. Its designed much more like the EQ.

The Stealth fit is basically tailored to my foot, hopefully it won't totally adapt to Synergy, even though the two are similar. Thanks for the response.

[jsykes 35]

Dont look at what I said as gospel because I couldnt try the skate. But since its moved from the composite boot he said it will change the fit characteristic a bit.

[AIREAYE 248]

Hey, as long as they keep the wide forefoot, narrow ankle with prominent ankle padding, I'll be a happy camper.

[jsykes 35]

I can feel pretty confident is saying that you should really like the ankle padding in it then. Its quite substantial and seems to have very good molding properties to it.

I was impressed with the skate. I think it will do well.

I went from S17's to EQ5's without much trouble. Hopefully these fall somewhere in between the two. wish there was a touch more ankle padding in the EQ5's

[Joonas #6 3]

Larsson with Bauer.

[Ralphiv#13 0]

Larsson with Bauer.

you think he made the switch since his tailbone injury? possibly?

[Joonas #6 3]

Oh, absolutely.

[bar down 1]

have you seen what he wore for pants prior to his injury. no wonder he got injured
