i would put my money on ccm branded oakleys as the ccm visors have the top corner by the screws angled, compared to the squared off one hes wearing, good eye!

[the_game 452]

I think even more interesting are Parise's 'CCM Branded' Easton gloves.

[JR Boucicaut 3795]

They're not rebranded Oakleys.  It's just a CCM/Revision pro option.

Sty2 has different segments on the thumb area.

These are close, but still not them.

They look really similar to Subban's CCMs. Which were modeled after his old Eastons?

[adam14 182]

they're probably modeled off the easton glove, but they arent rebranded, they'll be ccm made.

look at the corner by the screws, i really doubt they're actually ccm

edit: the pro option would make sense i guess but they're definitely not your typical ccm visor

i got that, lol. but look at the actual shape of the visor, not just what it says. JR's comment of a pro option makes sense but they aren't your retail ccm visor

edit: taking it down to details, oakley is thicker at the screw area, where ccm is a uniform thickness across the entire visor, its completely visable from the photo the iceman posted.

[chippa13 1844]

For f--k's sake, a CCM visor is a CCM visor, pro option, retail option, whatever.

anyways... since henrik is wearing the pads i was talking about tonight. with a better look at them i'm not really a big fan but still better than the original 1s graphics.

[Buzz_LightBeer 969]

The sublimated graphics, particularly on the 2017 offerings, look like absolute cowsh!t in person.

Kinda looks like they did the same for The King as they did for Andersons  centennial classic pads with a custom pad skin 

[SaveByRask 17]

yeah andersens were god awful lol

Absolutely terrible lol

[IPv6Freely 2092]

Yea they were brutal. Lundqvists are a bit better. Either way I'm not a fan. Next thing you know you'll have some superdad putting a sublimated photo of his twins on his pads or something. 

It kind of reminds me of sublimated hockey jerseys most of the time: just because you can doesn't mean you should. 

Im all for goalie gear innovation but still prefer stitched graphics.

LOL @ the twins 

[SaveByRask 17]

eh, digitally printed but you know what he means c'mon man

[Jamarquan 201]

Either way, they're trash. Graphic on Lundquivst's pads remind me a little of Brians DX2s.

[IPv6Freely 2092]

They're a step up over the god awful stock 1S graphics at least. 

[Buzz_LightBeer 969]

It only gets worse in 2017. 

Regardless of the name of the graphics process, it looks like pure garbage, and it's criminal what Bauer thinks they can charge, knowing you can get full Canadian made customs for less.

Are you talking about 1X?

Either way, as much crap Bauer gets for their goal line their pads perform ridiculously well. Durability on the other hand... it would be nice not to be their beta testers.

You may be right, but I don't think it's something shipping out of CCM.  Most likely a sticker swap done by the EQM.

Oakley isn't manufacturing shields for CCM.

No Shifts Missed

I checked out the website, but didn't appear to rivet  on one side like the ones the NHL players are wearing.  Do you know if that is done only at the pro level?   Also really couldn't tell how they differ from the Nash ones, so could they be the same thing and sourced from the same manufacturer?

Anyway, just curious, as I'm thinking of getting my son a pair.   Thanks!
