Is there an actual difference between the 8k and 8k Pro elbows? I can't tell from the pics, but those look just like my 8ks. BTW, I played my first game tonight with them, they're already broken in.

edit: just noticed that the 8k pro have Rbk on the lower protection

Yeah, they're totally swet.

I know the 8k Pro's are made in sweden. They also have the felt/cloth interior like the old Jofa shin pads. Do the retail 8k's have that?

[bostonjuniorblackhawks 1]

That's because even the smallest towns have LHS and they usually overstock for some odd reason. Just yesterday I got myslef a couple of Rbk 7k Sickicks for 69.99$ each. The guy at the LHS told me they had been hanging in the back-store for 2 years and they thought they would never get rid of them! lol

My lhs is still selling sickicks for 150 lol. The only deals I can find on older equipment is on ebay or craigslist.

Retail Reebok 8K's have the "playdri" liner

My fischer S-TYPE 95 with mission l-2 rafalski

tape tecnifibre contact :D

Sorry if this is noob, but I think I keep up pretty well on hockey gear. But WTF is a fischer??? I've never heard of them. But that grip does look nice; very tennis-esque.

And yea, that couch is insane. That has to be pro stock.

Euro only, there was some talk a couple years ago about them getting into hockey in North America.

Is it just the picture or are the Jofa 9177's longer than the the RBK 8Ks? I can say, mine look longer and less bulky than that.

[larrivee 3]

9177's are longer. TBLFan said he had his modified to be shorter.

Nice. Wish the Flyers could've gotten Ryan.

I'm curious to see how your X:60 holds up, with that thread about its durability and all.

Well, he's always floating around in the rumor mill. Who knows. And yeah I'm curious as well, two uses so far on it, and it's definitely a great stick so far. I love it. Let's see if it holds up.

I'm curious. What exactly did you learn from Bobby, and how did you learn it?

Please, do go into detail. Humor me...

Scored this jersey- been looking for a long time for one of these!

This is the actual pro version of the edge jersey- Airknit across the front, through the shoulders and sleeves. Edge panels on the back and under the arms. Fits me fine in full gear.

Thanks to JR for the assist on confirming that it was what I thought it was!

where did you get that?

My glove collection as it stands right now:

I've found that I enjoy the fit of short cuffed gloves the best, thus the three pairs of Sykora pros. Also, I'm probably an Easton user for life now, so light and comfortable.

[K9 Unit 1]

oh man do i want to take those warrior off your hands....grrrr :P

Loving the black/gold Eastons. What's the name on the non-Sykora's? I tried inverting the color in PS but still couldn't read the name

It seems like finding old stock in canada is alot easier than in the us.

I was at a shop about an hour away yesterday and they had 3 pair of size 5 jofa elbow pads. They has the 9177, 9044 and 8077. The only thing wrong with them was the top strap was stretched on some of them, they were also selling them 50% off the original price so all three were under $60 cdn.
