What is Behind Bauer Photo?

At the top of the 4:00 p.m. hour on the east coast, Bauer Hockey posted a picture on their Facebook page. It appears to be a darkened silhouette of  New York Rangers backstop Henrik Lundqvist sliding in the butterfly across the crease in a darkened ice rink. Under Lundqvist, it has the tag-line of “Goaltending Will Evolve” with 2012 over it. With Lundqvist playing in the Winter Classic Jan. 2, it will be interesting to see if he plays the game in what ever new goaltending line Bauer will have to offer in 2012.

Back in November, we posted a preview of the upcoming Supreme Total One Custom Goal Pad. This looks like it could be the beginning of the market plan for this line that hits stores in the spring.

As a goalie, I will be paying special attention because I am in the market for some new goalie gear such as a blocker, glove and for the right price: pads. Check out the photo below and give your best hypothesis of what the symbolism means in the comment section.

Bauer Nexus 1000 Ice Hockey Skates

Earlier in the week, we told you about a new line of hockey gear being released by Bauer Hockey, the Bauer Nexus product line. Today, we have our first glimpse of the new gear, as the were leaked out. As expected, the Bauer Nexus 1000 skates have a much more traditional look, with details a bit reminiscent of the old Bauer Supreme 8090 skates.  Of course, the Nexus 1000 skates will have all the top end features that you would expect from a pro line of gear. As far as fit goes on the Nexus 1000, you can expect a wider boot than the Supreme line, and it looks like its going to provide a bit more depth as well. Great news for fans who love Bauer products, but have feet that don’t quite fit the other two lines.

The Bauer Nexus 1000 skates will hit retail store shelves in June, 2012. Until then, check out the picture below of the Nexus 1000 and let us know what you think!

Bauer Supreme Total One NXG Ice Hockey Skates

In April, 2012, Bauer will release their newest skate, the Bauer Supreme Total One NXG ice hockey skate. We brought you a sneak peek at a prototype version of the 2012 Bauer Supreme skates back in July, but now we’re looking at the final design of the skate.

You can see in the picture below (courtesy of HWB fan Tyrone, thanks bud!) that a few concepts from the prototype made their way into the Bauer Supreme Total One NXG skates, but we’re still not clear on all the features. The Total One NXG will definitely be a step up from the original Total One skates, which were released in Spring, 2010.

What are your thoughts on the new Bauer Supreme Total One NXG skates? Will you be willing to shell out some coin  to pick up a pair when they are released?
