mattiasboivie 0 Report post Posted February 14, 2012 Was looking at NHL 36 with Nick Lidstrom the other day and noticed his shoulder pads. Almost looks like a goalie chest protector thats been customized and stripped of some parts or what do you guys think?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tigerpants 0 Report post Posted February 14, 2012 They looked to be a variant of the Bauer Pro series shoulder pads. My guess is a Pro Stock Bauer Pro. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hammers44 4 Report post Posted February 15, 2012 I couldn't get that link to work on my phone so I'm just going off what I can remember from seeing NHL 36 last night. I was looking around after the show and think he's wearing the new Nexus line. I'm not a 100% sure but that's what it looked to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

steelnation248 102 Report post Posted February 15, 2012 They say Bauer Pro on them. I shrunk the image a bit so it wouldn't kill other peoples internet. Here's the link to the full size image:screenshot20120214at103.png Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Law Goalie 147 Report post Posted February 15, 2012 That's definitely not a 'tender's C/A, but I can see why it might confuse. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JR Boucicaut 3810 Report post Posted February 15, 2012 Yeah, it's a pro-only pad for this year (Bauer did not have a shoulder pad in the NHL in 2010-11) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AIREAYE 248 Report post Posted February 15, 2012 Is that Ian White next to him? The dude looks like he's well on something And it looks like White removed his bicep/tricep guard on his elbows too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skyscrape 5 Report post Posted February 15, 2012 Ian White seriously looks like he stole Doc Browns Delorean in order to travel to....the Future! He looks like an extra from Youngblood! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mwerth 5 Report post Posted February 15, 2012 Lidstrom's shoulders look like old Bauer 6000's with updated caps and bicep pads. Old (and to me, great) design that dates way back:Bauer 6000: http://www.usaskates...houlderpads.jpgFlak: http://images.canadi...ads_5212527.jpgFlak: http://imgc.classist...68994da_19.jpegWould love a pair of the Lidstrom version.

IPv6Freely 2100 Report post Posted February 17, 2012 Its almost strange to see an older guy using such new gear. So many of the older NHL'ers seem to use ancient stuff. Ryan Smyth almost looks funny in his old-style CCM helmet with the new CCM logo on it.. heh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
