2012-2013 Gear Sightings

[CoachHealy 1]

Well I'm always an optimistic guy. I ordered a pair from MLX since they still had a few left in my size. If they don't use much of their technology then I'll be fine. If they do happen to make a near replica I'm sure it will take a year or two to truly mass produce it well.

Either way I'm excited to see Easton trying to get back in the game!

[Krev 86]

I could care less about the replaceable tongues and tendon guards. I just want the fit.

[Buzz_LightBeer 963]

There will be MLX technology in the boot and holder, less removable parts. Expect an Easton skate with some MLX technology infused, rather than an MLX skate with Easton branding.

[Harv 86]

Combat Sure?

[Krev 86]

Just not the same without the porn stache.

[troy 12]

Upgraded to an 11K helmet as well. I'm going to miss that guy.

[metalwinger13 1]

and European version of CCM pants. Notice the velcro patches on the thighs

[Harv 86]

The ''photoshoot'' was in Kladho. I wouldn't put too much weight into any of the gear he's wearing.

[Tommyj214 3]

That jersey is hidious.

[Joonas #6 3]

I like the jersey, but that visor is huge!

[JR Boucicaut 3760]

I believe the word Evan used was "essentially." He didn't call it an exact remake of the ONE95.

Probably a dumb question but how much does puck feel have to do with the material used to create the blade (that is the carbon used) and the core of the blade itself (power core 2 vs power core 3)?

I also wonder if the expanded throat (pure shot blade I think they call it?) as seen starting with the Totalone and not seen on the one95 would factor into puck feel as well? Maybe with more torque or give when receiving passes it helped create the feeling of "softness" that all the one95 users loved. Please don't be a one100 marketing gimmick =(

Exchanged emails with him today - the thicker throat may make it feel different to some, but it's as close as the ONE95 as possible.

Also, the ONE100 was a 2-pc stick that was a better ONE85; was never meant to be an ONE95 replacement.

Nobody wears a bigger visor than Dany Heatley.

[Harv 86]

Gonchar in some interesting skates.

Easton holder but the tendon guard looks very MLX-ish. Hmmm...

[JR Boucicaut 3760]

That is the Mako.

Actually, it's a new holder.

[icewalker_bg 126]

isnt he one of the big names in mlx? i hope that is an easton/mlx skate, but it is ugly as hell.

[Harv 86]

That is the Mako.

The colorway certainly makes sense then. White and grey with a thin line of orange/red color.

[Chadd 916]

Gonchar was the first pro to use skates from MLX, but they were nothing like the retail skate from what I was told at the time. I don't know if he ever migrated to the "retail" model or not.

[Krev 86]

I actually really like the look. The colorway, to me, seems to be put together nicely. Probably not the finished model, but eh. Here's hoping the fit is similar to the MLX.

Sound great! Can't wait to pick up the one.9. It's so great that Bauer have realised how much people loved the one95 and have essentially brought it back with this stick!

[bandits_5 18]

I think it best looking skate easton has ever made.........if it comes to fruition.

[JR Boucicaut 3760]

It's not a prototype.

[Krev 86]

Really? Nice. I'm still have my reservations about the boot, but I'll check them out in store.

[JR Boucicaut 3760]

In pro validation, not to mention a month before it's shown to dealers = not a prototype.

[mojo122 530]

I'd say you either like or hate the look. Put me in the latter group. Best skate Easton made was the S15. Best performing 3-month skate I ever owned.

[malcb33 95]

The overall shape of the Mako boot looks very similar to MLX IMO.
