The shaft dimensions are strange on the retail version 

 

Caufield with the agent r

I have noticed some Colleges are switching to CCM this year.  Princeton, Penn State I think are the big ones.  I saw the Penn State woman are still in Bauer.

Tested the T8 Pro, didn't like it very much. It feels like all they did was change the graphics from the T7 Pro and made some slight adjustments to the blade. I still the T5 Pro was one of the best.

Bedard wearing pants with an additional padded lower as a secondary shell? Just noticed this myself, but looking at other pics of him since joining the Blackhawks, he’s been doing the same. Seems like an awful lot/excessive amount of padding on the pants, no?

I must be blind. I don't see anything abnormal.

I think it’s the striping as it goes inside the pant legs

Look at images 3 and 5. There are a set of stripes underneath and another on top as if he was wearing a padded shell on top of normal pants.

These look miles better than the previous generation Tacks (graphics wise).

Maybe just a quick hem job by the EQM to shorten them up?  Almost looks like extra material just on the stripe, not so much the entire outer pant shell.

Perhaps, although the CCM logo looks to be in the same spot it normally is. If the EQM shortened the pants 1-2” I’d think the logo would be noticeably closer to them hem

[shoeshine boy 242]

maybe he didn't like that horrendous new CCM logo? 🤣

[xstartxtodayx 343]

Maybe they added the stripes post-haste if he had a pair of pants he liked or didn't like whatever they had to offer/didn't want to break in a new pair?  I don't know, I'm just trying to think of any conspiracy theory at this point.

[OldCY 94]

What about even stitching a shell to the pants😀

[xstartxtodayx 343]

I looked for a rabbit hole, couldn't find many photos but here's a couple that show the stripe bunched up, I'm sticking with my hem job theory but have no explanation for the CCM logo 🤣

It's a hem job nothing else.

More interesting than new, but Gudas in white CCM skates still using lace locks. 

[marka 526]

Howdy,

That's because lace locks are awesome.

Unique branding on this (russian i imagine) stick, though the font and blade look very much like STX

That’s Danis Zaripov’s stick company заряд (Zaryad): electrical charge. A lot of their earlier sticks had an electrical theme in name and graphics. They're manufactured just outside of Kazan, where Zaripov played most of his career.
