Great Warrior/Bauer/Reebok shoulder pads.  What, no Easton or CCM parts?

[hawkeyfan 36]

the franken shoulder pads...just highlight how much the pros don't care or believe about the latest tech the companies push.  A few years back (maybe 2013) aft the blackhawks won the cup...Patrik Kane is in the locker room and takes off his jersey...he's not wearing bauer shoulder pads and neither is Toews....They are both wearing CCM RBZ shoulders and elbows.

The Stranger Danger is strong in that one.

[innotastic 12]

A lot of players loved their shoulder pads, but had to change out the shoulder caps a couple years back when the NHL introduced new equipment rules mandating soft caps.

Zucc's playoff shot blockers... wonder if he'll actually wear them in the game:

 

[flip12 715]

Man he's got awful style.

[matix218 11]

What type of material are those shot blockers?  They look super thin.

Actually looks like steel or possibly titanium. You can see the laser burn marks where they cut the pattern through.

[Goonsquad 209]

Good idea to mark the steel as to what set they are

Probaly just kydex pre printed with that design. The light color makes the laser marks more noticable than on the black ones.

Great photo.  Good to see that the pros flinch when in the line of fire too.  With regard to Ovi, I was  watching the Canadian broadcast (shown on USA network) and they commented on how poorly Ovi was skating!

Great. That fixes my one beef with old/current ones, the shoulder caps had to little to no taper and didn't curve around your shoulder much.

I have the same beef. Kind of torn though because I am a huge fan of the bicep and shoulder being attached on the originals (and on others like the old CCM's). Will give these a try though.

Any idea on release? They look good. 

[IPv6Freely 2093]

Those look fantastic. I think I've found my new shoulder pads!

[beerleaguecaptain 999]

wonder if they will make these in a 5590 variant - I can re do my mods.  Do like the newer countered caps.

I'll be buying a pair or two for sure.

The 5030 HOF Elbow Pad looks interesting too.

They have a laser cutter they use for polycarbonate blockers. That just has a graphic over it.  All the ones he makes has the players number and perforations, you just can't tell because most are clear.

[nutters 218]

Looks like Kuznetsov's 2.0 has a camo pattern instead of yellow.
