2012-2013 Gear Sightings

I think it is just a natural "gap" that appears due to the angle of the eyelets. Check out some of your teammates feet the next time on the ice and you'll probably notice something similar. Just a trick of the eye.

didnt notice anything like that gap on the ice today.

[t6lock 24]

You sure that is for shot blocking... seems like it'd be more for lace bite. Understandable for how much these guys skate.

Yes, those are for lace bite. Detroit is a Skate Fenders user, so they would use those for shot blocking rather than just some small pad on top of the foot.

my mistake, but ya there was quite a noticable gap when i put those skates on

I'm pretty sure I saw the one of the Kings players lace up their skates in two different spots

There was one player I heard about who laced the bottom portion of the eyelets, tied them, then laced and tied the top of the skates with a different lace. I can't remember who that was, but I'll see if I can find it. I have no idea how common that was.

I remember reading that Paul Coffey used two sets of laces, but I have no idea about how we actually used them.

Edit: Here it is. The first bullet point under "Trivia" at the bottom of the page. http://icehockey.wikia.com/wiki/Paul_Coffey

I remember that the ccm vacutacks from the early 90's originally came with 2 sets of lace that you tied separately.

Bauer posted this on their Facebook of Backstrom with the APX2 stick and skates

Winter Classic jerseys unveiled.

Alumni Jerseys (Sittler is in the Alumni jersey, Clark and MacDonald are in the winter classic jersey.


Very cool touch, Captain's designations for Detroit on the sleeve, inside a diamond in a nod to the old days.

[Tyler Roy 86]

Very different looking sticks. Ones a black primary and ones a white primary.

to me the top half design of the stage 2 reminds me more so of the NXG for some reason

I like them very much, Captain's and Alternates' designations inside the diamonds, expecially.

The lighter side of gear sightings...

[Harv 86]

Spray paint everything!

I like the alumni Detroit jerseys much better, but I do agree that the Captains designation on the sleeve is a neat touch.

lol, when Lupul first traded to the Leafs he was using Getzlaf's SE16s (or repainted STs) for a little while.

[Chadd 916]

The lighter side of gear sightings...

That has been covered a couple times

[dsjunior1388 81]

Spray paint everything!

Looks like they were repainted from the first time they were painted. Much more blue.

[ibeck 38]

I think it's because they were using their 3rd jerseys, check the socks.

[dsjunior1388 81]

Newest Red Wing Danny Dekeyser seems to have inherited Tomas Holmstrom's graphic-less bauer 4 rolls.

[mjpisat 36]

I like those

[XveritasX 13]

I like those

Same, I didn't mind the older 4-roll look, I don't really like the new Nexus look for the glove. This one is nice and clean.

[mjpisat 36]

I would like to order 4 roll warrior franchise all red line Detroit but I don't get the customizer

Some looks at the APX 2 stick

Does Seguin wrap his stick shaft with some type of thinner width white tape? Or is that just standard 24mm wide tape? It may just look thin in the photos.

It is thinner than standard, he might just tear it in half when he's taping it, I know I used to do that. I've also seen thinner rolls of white tape used by teams so I would think either or
