#32487 Most protective shoulder pads

Posted by 1117 on 22 May 2012 - 10:20 AM in Hockey Gear

Just to echo what Grammer said, I've been in the same situation (surgery etc). I'm sure any of the high-end shoulder pads would be fine (I like the Jofas though), but the best protection is building muscle to keep everything in place.



#29270 Easton Mako sticks

Posted by 1117 on 03 May 2012 - 10:41 AM in Hockey Gear

Sorry if this is considered blasphemous, but I really wish Easton would release a non-white Mako, preferably all black. I'm a huge SE16 fan, since that's been gone I've been using EQ50 shafts and OPSs, tried the RS, too. I would love to essentially have a new SE16, but I don't like the all white.

Obviously one would have to order six sticks, but saw that you can choose graphics (RS, Mako, S19 Pure) on custom Makos at PSHG now.



#27648 Easton Pro Stock Flex Codes

Posted by 1117 on 25 April 2012 - 04:31 AM in Hockey Gear

There was another thread with some info on this, see http://www.sports2k....o-stock-sticks/

Agree with RinkRat, not sure that the letters are consistent from what I've seen. What does seem to be correct is the sticker inside the top of the shaft on Easton sticks, which was mentioned by Kovey10 in the other thread.

Great, thanks for the feedback.



#26476 Easton Pro Stock Gloves

Posted by 1117 on 20 April 2012 - 03:25 PM in Pro Stock Hockey Gear

Guys, while we're on the subject... How grippy are the Pittard palms that Easton uses? Have only used the grey and beige clarino from them so far, but may give the pittard a shot on my next pair of customs. Thanks!

#16367 Recent Pick-ups

Posted by 1117 on 23 February 2012 - 04:06 AM in Pro Stock Hockey Gear

Any difference between 8k and 7k and the 6070???

I believe the main difference between the 7K and 8K is that the 7K does not have the "Hyper-X", or hyper-extension protection. I have the 8K's which are great. Have read that some prefer the 7K because of more mobility, but no first hand knowledge of that. The 6070's (like the ones on ebay) look like the 7K's to me, but sure that someone else can confirm. Hope that helps.



#16045 The "thats cool but i dont need it" on Ebay thread

Posted by 1117 on 21 February 2012 - 02:29 AM in Pro Stock Hockey Gear

same here :dunno:

Something is screwed up on the NHL auction site, try searching for "pant" with their search function, I found the pants and shells on the third result page that way.



#14972 for those with pro stock nhl hockey pants

Posted by 1117 on 14 February 2012 - 04:33 PM in Pro Stock Hockey Gear

Reebok retail pants will have a 3cm patch on the back, pro stock pants will have a patch that's about 3" high.
Which model pants do you have?


Three pairs of Reebok MHP7000 pants (Sabres, Bruins and Habs blue Centennial), they all have the same NHL patches. Just measured them and they are actually 5 cm from top to bottom (so about 2 inches), thought they were a bit smaller than they are. Sorry for any confusion, I guess we meet halfway!



#14936 for those with pro stock nhl hockey pants

Posted by 1117 on 14 February 2012 - 01:29 PM in Pro Stock Hockey Gear

I would say it's approximately 3" high, check out the pants sale section, you will for sure see some photos.


Maybe placement is around 3'' (inches?) high up on the leg of the pants, but size of the patch is more like 3 cm from top to bottom I think.. :)

Edit: unless it differs by brands, only have Reebok pro stock pants.



#14305 Your Stick Of Choice

Posted by 1117 on 11 February 2012 - 02:07 PM in Hockey Gear

Going back and forth between these three at the moment: Easton S19 A. Kostitsyn 115 flex, Warrior AK27 shaft 100 flex with pro stock Kovalev blade, Easton S19 James Neal 85 flex.



#13451 PowerPlay Auctions Schill Bidding?

Posted by 1117 on 07 February 2012 - 05:21 AM in Off Topic

I have no idea if this guy is schill bidding or not, but one thing he (powerplayauctions) is right about is that he does ship worldwide and is one of few sellers in the US/Canada that does that and has a regular supply of gear.

For someone like me living in Europe its pretty difficult to get hold of pro stock gear (and getting people to ship at reasonable rates) so I would imagine that that could account for some of the high prices. Although I agree that some of the recent prices are off the charts.

Maybe its the KHL guys buying NHL gear from him and using it :)



#12933 How to tell flex on pro stock sticks

Posted by 1117 on 04 February 2012 - 09:27 AM in Pro Stock Hockey Gear

I came across a Sheldon Souray stick it's a K I believ that's a 160 flex.....


Or 125 flex...? :) If the list above is correct.

Removed the plug on a A. Kostitsyn S19 I have and it was labeled 115 inside which seems correct in terms of flex. The code thats stamped on the back of the shaft is WC5Y10, but that doesn't seem to fit into the "alphabetical"-scale for flex. Is the flex letter written somewhere else? Thanks



#11861 Jofa 9177 Sizing

Posted by 1117 on 26 January 2012 - 12:33 PM in Pro Stock Hockey Gear

For reference, I'm 6'2'', 195 lbs and size 5 fits me perfectly. Hope that helps.



#11379 Hockey Shell Sizing

Posted by 1117 on 23 January 2012 - 02:59 AM in Hockey Gear

To wear on top of pants, I would go 1 full size bigger, XL should do it.


Thanks Dupes!



#11301 Hockey Shell Sizing

Posted by 1117 on 22 January 2012 - 10:02 AM in Hockey Gear

Hey, looking to buy some Easton S17 custom pant shells from PSHG. Does anyone know which size and length fits Reebok MHP7000 size large pants? Thanks!



#10456 Your Favorite Player

Posted by 1117 on 13 January 2012 - 09:22 AM in Hockey Talk

Favourite all time probably Messier. Met him once in the late 80s, great guy. Also Neely and Tocchet in their primes were great to watch.

No one particular favourite player today, but really enjoy following the skilled young guys on teams like the Oilers and Islanders.
