They did a spotlight on Ozzie and Hasek on FSN Detroit a couple of months ago about them breaking in new gear and Ozzie had a new set of Itechs he was trying to break in that he's obviously decided not go with (although the gloves he's wearing now are the ones he was breaking in with the pads).
Most of his time was spent talking about how he liked his current pads and that Ozzie and the training staff had to keep opening them up and changing the foam because they were breaking down so bad. They showed how the top of the pad was splitting apart from it being opened and sewed shut so many times.
If you look at another pic that was posted in this thread it really doesn't look like what they did to the pads was an extension so much as they had to rig a new top binding.
Believe me those things were ragged when they showed them. It's a shame he didn't go with the shiny new Itechs.
