In Topic: Graf Switzerland video

Nice video and glad they're making a comeback, wish Graf the best

 

We'll see how they go. They'll need a drastic improvement in their product development and market reach if they can call it a comeback. I love Graf skates, and wish them a healthy future as well, I'm just skeptical considering their inability to modernize over the last 20 years.

Pretty immaculate Swiss made 501's for $85. Size 9

Really cool. It’s a good training tool to skate without any ankle stiffness. I have a similar era pair of Graf 701s for that.

Thanks for the info.

The pattern is an exact match for the Z Airs, but one piece of foam. I had a pair like this once, TML colors, Grabovski iirc but I have no idea if he wore them ever


I’m pretty sure Grabo did wear those in games now that you mention it.

How do they feel?

Forsberg Avalanche gloves. These are really light and kinda look like z Airs, but they have no breaks and the entire backhand is one big pad. Anybody know the story with this model?


That’s the pickup of the year and it’s not even close.

Easton Zero Shock. It uses EPP foam for lightweight protection. Forsberg also used extra protective gloves before these but nothing else after he got his hands in Zero Shocks, they were his jam. Other than Zetterberg, I can’t recall anyone else wearing them.

New Zetterberg mitts: https://bit.ly/45mYw7J


Repalmed and without his trademark slash guard it looks like.
