Looks like Eagle pads to me.

One picture would do just fine itechwarrior, or at least one post with a few pictures in it. Anyway, follow this link and check out the ninth picture to see Hedberg in his Flatpads. This is the game against the Leafs on December 30th, 2008 so it looks like Hedberg did change his gear.

It's so weird seeing Joseph in itech gear 
And the flatpads that Hedberg is wearing look better than the first ones placed in this thread.

| Goalieboy is right... Hedberg wears promask. He had them custom built with boot to fit NHl regulations. The picture that Itechwarrior posted is old. For one, even if he was wearing Eagle he would have to black out the logos cuz there is no more eagle. All his gear now is white with a little maroon and his helmet doesn't look like that either |

I like the graphic, but I wouldn't even think of using those without a regular boot.

| He has had those for the almost the enitre season, if not the entire season. I just assumed they were Eagle with a custom graphic |

| They look almost identical to the eagles. Plus they are NOT the flat pad that was posted at the beginning of this thread. |

No, they're definitely not the exact same as the ones posted at the start of the thread, however, they are flatpads, customized to have the boot so it would pass NHL officials inspections. Probably some more customization on the backs as well.
Hedbergs are a better looking pad then the original Flatpads.

| Ya they are definately custom. But then again, what NHL goalie doesn't wear custom gear? |
