Made me laugh as well - I used to rock a pair of Bauer 1000's and my stick of choice was a Titan TPM2020 (big Gretzky fan) - eventually progressed to an Easton aluminium shaft but still used the same curved Titan blade as the one that was on my 2020
I know this is a Bauer video, but since y’all do own Easton now, you should’ve shown these kids the old Easton two piece and Easton Synergy sticks. One of my favourite sticks of all time is my yellow Synergy.
Team Canada XXX lite with the red X's and the Wood graphic XXX lite is GOATED. Idk what they did with that blade but pucks just stuck to it when catching hard passes
All the new gear is cool, but i remember when sticks would last 2 to 3 years. Now sticks break within a season. Scratch that more than 3 years I still have a nice stick from 2006… Sherwood Rhythm Crosby PP87.
When I was a kid in the 70s and 80s I only used Bauer because my two favourite players endorsed them, Bobby Hull and Guy LaFleur. Back in the WHA days the Jets were more popular than NHL teams to Manitoba kids, pretty much everyone on my team the Selkirk Fishermen used Bauer because of The Golden Jet's influence. Back in those days is we had to use a blowtorch to curve our sticks, you'd never see kids doing that today, they'd probably burn down their locker room.
Break out an all wood 5030 or felt padded shin guards, mid forearm gloves and Cooper elbow pads with no plastic in them. None of that stuff was old school.
New or old wouldn’t have mattered against Latvia fffs.Stupid Canada,so smug and sure.Nobody even hits on Canada now.Boys wtf.Bunch of fancy boys we have now,not real tough Canadian hockey.
"I don't really like the colours". I cannot believe this is the same sport I grew up watching in the '80s and '90s. It's sad to see what's become of hockey in the last 15-20 years. The World Juniors and the NHL playoffs used to be war on ice. You're lucky if there are 3 solid hits in a period now. I feel bad for the kids growing up who didn't get to see what this sport was all about in its glory days. There was nothing else like it, and the powers that be ruined it and turned it into pond hockey.
imagine how good hockey players were in the 90's and early 2000's. with all this technology now. imagine Mario Lemieux or Joe Sakic using this new equipment!! Lemieux would get 300 pts a year the way the game is played today. soft and softer
“Old gear” … brings out stuff from like 10 years ago 😂
I know. I'm 50. They need gear from my era
@ i remember when my buddy got an aluminum stick and we were all like “aaaawwww dude!”

Hey, do they remember what gear Latvia was using?

Equipment was so gorgeous back then with all the competition
Absolute fire twigs 🔥🔥
1:44 Should have asked these boys if they ever heard of that old-timey move players did with the triflex - think it was called the *slap shot* 🏒
The 1x stick being on here is crazy lol
5:03 Medieval Goon Pole-arm 🤣
I still have those Bauer 5000s. They are made to last. I'm on my 4th set of holders/blades.
The Bauer Vapor XXX skates!!! My favorite skates EVER!!!
Wow do I feel old…
Vapor 30 line was elite still is in my eyes haha
Boogles my mind that they haven’t seen a heel curve before 😂😂
Those were the ticket for for slap shots and One timers

Crazy how the boys aren’t familiar with the Drury/heel curve .. legendary pattern
when the kid starts talking about his grandpa / uncle wearing vapor 30's..... man........

They should’ve worried less about gear and more about embarrassing their country
Maybe team Canada should have played with that gear
Latvia .... Come on fellas
Calm down
Vapor XXX is an all time twig
So this is what they were doing instead of practicing..... gotcha
i havent played in 10 years but i have that bauer x60 in the garage and i would be using it if i played tomorrow.
Old gear? i was thinking 70's and 80's gear, or older....
All star weekend should include a game in old gear
My grandpa wore these old xxx 😂
I wore tubes😅
This video is the reason we loose. The colour of sticks/equipment doesn't matter but they actually care
None of these guys would be able to roof if with a wooden stick
These kids would have never made it 20 years ago
Fuck I'm old, all my equipment is older than this stuff.
This one hurts...I have used most of that kit...some of it until quite recently! ;)
Nothing to old and not showing any eastons is kinda crazy. You guys gotta bring back nike sticks thatd be sick
Bro, I have those Bauer Vapor XXX skate right now hahah, I need to feel old?
Bring back the XXX or the X:60
Maybe that gretzky guy wasnt half bad skating around in what he had
This aged well lol
McKenna not loving the look of the Vapor XXX twig is all I needed to know ❌❌❌
Break out an all wood 5030 or felt padded shin guards, mid forearm gloves and Cooper elbow pads with no plastic in them. None of that stuff was old school.
are new skates that much lighter? i had the bauer 5000
How about trying an old KOHO wooden stick?.. modern sticks weigh around 400-450 grams, old wooden sticks,.. around 1,5-2.0 kilo's...
If you close your eyes and listen you would think they are interviewing one guy....
NHL 06 flashbacks lol
These dudes look older than me
Id definitely ask if I could have the vapor xx stick 😂
I thought Kariya wore Grafs
Apparently the gear i use is ancient😂 i bought it all in 2014
I feel old and I’m only almost 26. lol.
0:00 already a good video
Old gear? How dare you
they are technically old gear, get with the times old man
@@janzkee typical Gen z

A little hint boys.Tape your ankles and you'll have better control of your feet.Oh,and good quality sticks in my day were $9.99.You guys pay how much?

Massive knob
Probably should have spent less time doing this nonsense if they wanted to beat Latvia
Canada is out
How many sexual assaults with this gear??
This is a joke of a team!
Second

BEST SKATES ARE BAUER VAPOR HYP2RLITE
