I guess he gave up on the True skates?

I don’t think so. Looks like True to me.

These are VH boots with Graf cowlings. He did the same sequence last year. He wore all VH in the beginning, struggled with his stats, then he changed to cowlings (about December I think). Not going to be surprised that he just put last year skates on, although the cowlings I think, are brand new.

Interesting seeing Duchene using a Jetspeed branded Ribcor/40K

[Kgbeast 195]

I came across this photo and figured I'd post this strange combo... Definitely, not digging the look, but hey, somebody wanted it, so have at it.

On the contrary, I think these look better than with the Graf cowlings.

True on social media announced that 2 players will be using the new 6.0 stick in tomorrow's outdoor game

Someone posted a bench picture on PHEW, so went and found a clearer picture...hmmm.

Hudon using a white AK Alpha 

 

[Jason 65]

He changed his gloves from Ultra Tacks to QRL's too. Surprised to see Hoffman wearing True skates. Thought he was skating really well in CCM's.

There's no context with the photo.  Did he use a Vapor the whole game?  Did he break his stick and grab one from a teammate?  Is is still using a Vapor?  Without that info, it's nothing to get excited about.

Not sure this provides much context but this photo appears to show his name on the stick so it wasn’t borrowed.

Well now that is interesting.

This means nothing until it's a trend. Competitors do up samples for the big names all the time.

Exactly, no biggie. Maybe his deal with CCM doesn’t include sticks, which would make this even less of a deal.

It most certainly does include sticks. He has a pattern named after him.
