Compared to my old Bauer XIX's, these are a feather. I had them heated and fitted to my foot (never done that before). It makes them soooo much more comfy.

Anybody get anything from the Canucks' equipment sale?

sumaznguy might check it out soon. Check the official canucks thread when he gets back.

Some douchebags were switching stickers on sticks/skates and the cashiers caught them and called them out on it... about time.

I was sick of seeing all these kids on PHEW last year bragging about how they bought gloves for $30 because they put a pant shell price tag on them.

Lol. Any decent deals?

I'm going to go tomorrow after work to check it out. Hopefully there's some reasonable deals to be had. I'll snap photos if they allow me to.

Looking to buy a straight cut visor...

Whats the difference between HS22 and HS23 visors?

Is the HS23 just taller?

The cut of the visor is different. HS22 and all of these small cut have been outlawed for sale in retail stores in Canada.

That being said, I have a HS22 pro straight if you are looking to buy ;)

I'll see how my buddy's hs23 looks on my helmet first but if it looks dumb I'll pm you.

offtopic but are you running prostock nation..? His favourite player is shirokov and he also switched from hs22 back to oakleys lol

I help run it and I do know Sergei...

Itech/Bauers are more optically correct than anything else on the market because of the shape of the lens. They're more round (same idea why your eyes are round and not flat) but they just don't make a cut that works for me. I'm using the Oakley Pro Modifieds right now and they're my favorite.

does anyone have the reebok 6k stick? how is it?

Reebok sticks and gloves are terrible.

Hockey Sticks - Reebok, Warrior

Incase anyone is interested

Shins: Reebok 7K

Sticks: One95's P14 102 Flex, cut to 108.

so far what I've bought is...

Elbows: Bauer X30
Shoulder: borrowed from a friend

That's my noob gear!

I wouldnt say that theyre MORE optically correct than anything else on the market, considering itech/bauer licensed the XYZ optics from Oakley to make their visors. Proof is on the bauer box, also confirmed by the Bauer and Oakley and reebok reps i've talked to.

Yes that's right, after Oakley and Itech had their little settlement a while back.

This is the original post I went off of from MSH in 2009: Bauer/Itech visor vs Oakley - ModSquadHockey

I may have exaggerated it but I was leaning towards they are more optically correct than other brands like Under Armor which are flat.

Hello guys im back, took you guy's advice got myself some 34"pads. Is it normal for me to find myself terribly hard to move in the new pads? I had some 30" pads before i moved like the wind. Now when i dress up in these i almost cant move at all :fuuuuu:

i guess that means you're not a accustomed to spreading your legs haha
